The global network for process safety

Are administrative demands taking time away from practical risk reduction? Has process safety become a tick-box exercise? Or are limited time and resources making it difficult to address every priority?

If these challenges sound familiar, partnering with the IChemE Safety Centre (ISC) can connect your organisation with practical support, trusted resources and a global community of process safety professionals who understand operational realities.

Why partner with the ISC?

The ISC brings together industry, regulators and academia to strengthen process safety leadership and capability, prevent major incidents, and protect people, assets and the environment.

Our partners benefit from validated frameworks and practical approaches that have been applied across high-reliability organisations worldwide. These resources support organisations in sectors including:

  • chemicals
  • oil and gas
  • power and energy
  • food and drink
  • pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals
  • mining, minerals and metals refining
  • water and waste
  • other industries managing complex operational risks.

By joining the ISC, your organisation becomes part of a trusted global community that shares knowledge, experience and proven solutions to common process safety challenges.

What are the benefits?

Access confidential peer networks: connect with a trusted community where partners can share experiences, emerging concerns, and lessons from incidents and near misses. Learn from others before similar issues develop within your organisation.

Strengthen leadership and capability: develop your teams through discounts on our bespoke training courses, designed for leaders at all levels, from shift team leaders to executive board members, supporting stronger oversight, informed decision-making and an effective process safety culture.

Explore specialist knowledge and resources: access practical case studies, guidance documents and other resources designed to help your organisation address process safety challenges.

Apply validated frameworks: use proven, cross-sector frameworks to assess current practices and accelerate your organisation’s process safety maturity.

Build global credibility: demonstrate your organisation’s commitment to responsible operations and environmental, social and governance principles. Strengthen trust with regulators, employees and the communities in which you operate.
