Please note that this is a draft programme and is subject to change.
Download PDFOur programme features over 50 presentations from industry practitioners, researchers and regulators. They will share examples of good practice, new approaches and valuable lessons learned in process safety that you can transfer to your own operations, and address some of the future challenges and opportunities facing the industry.
It is designed around the core functional areas of a process safety framework (assurance, engineering and design, environmental protection, human factors, knowledge and competence, safety culture, and systems and procedures).
The programme includes:
- technical presentations from industry practitioners, researchers and regulators*
plenary and invited speakers sharing strategic insight - Q&A and discussion time to help move the agenda forward
- relevant information sessions eg the Professional Process Safety Engineer registration.
* Technical presentations will be delivered across parallel sessions.
Plenary speakers
The technical presentations are complemented by our inspiring plenary speakers who will present on the themes of embedding good practice, leadership, emerging challenges and the importance of cross-sector learning.
Facilitated discussion
There will be time for questions at the end of each presentation. There will also be facilitated discussion time at the end of each session, to help continue the conversations, identify common issues facing practitioners and encourage networking.

Multi-platform workshop
Nimrod: process safety in wartime
ACT Australia and NZ plays and workshops bring safety training alive. This multi-platform workshop looks at the crash of the Nimrod XV230 in Afghanistan and the lessons that we can all learn.
At 09:30 on 2 September 2006, Nimrod XV230 took off for a mission over Afghanistan. At 11:00 it rendezvoused with a Tristar tanker for air-to air refuelling, which took about 10 minutes. One minute later a bomb bay fire warning sounded. Four minutes later the crew made their last transmission. At 11:17, a Harrier pilot saw the aircraft explode. All fourteen crew were lost.
Key themes: safety leadership; ‘The Safety Case’, safety culture and paper safety.
Suitable for: senior leaders, safety professionals, those responsible for complex processes and legacy systems.
