Overview

Join us for a hybrid seminar examining the Longford gas plant incident, one of Australia's most significant process safety events.

Through this case study, our presenters will explore the causes of the incident, the key lessons learned, and the safety assessment tools and resources that can help prevent similar events in the future.

This session is designed for engineers and safety professionals seeking practical insights into process safety and risk management.
