Webinar: Understanding the difference between Occupational Health and Safety and Process Safety
Monday 11 August, 08:30 BST
Occupational Health and Safety and Process Safety are similar in many aspects but there are certain features that are applied only one or the other and are not interchangeable. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to understand what is the difference between the two areas. This webinar will give some useful information as to what do we mean by area and guide the students through case studies which will help them to implement the learnings.

CISAP9 - International Conference on Safety & Environment in Process and Power Industry
20—23 September, Venice Italy
CISAP 9, the nine edition of the International Conference on Safety and Environment in the Process & Power Industry, will provide a successful forum on process safety, risk assessment and HSE management.
The conference provides a unique opportunity to share and gain experience on actual topics and current evolution in emerging risk assessment and management, as the security issues in the chemical and process industry and the assessment of accident scenarios caused by natural hazards.
Meeting and discussion between international scientists, engineers from academia and industry will be facilitated in order to share new trends in research, methodologies and practical approach for the management of emerging risk.
Webinar: Lessons from regulators
Monday 21 September, 08:30 BST
In this webinar, Trish Kerin will discuss key lessons with two former regulators. Dame Judith Hackitt was the Chair of the UK Health and Safety Executive and is also involved in advising Governments in UK and in Australia on reform of Building Safety Regulation. Jane Cutler was the CEO of the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority in Australia. Prior to their regulatory roles, both worked in industry, so they will share their experiences and invaluable advice for industry.
Dame Judith Hackitt is currently the Chair of Make UK and of Enginuity and an IChemE Past President. Jane Cutler is currently on the board of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority and the current Deputy President of IChemE.
9th Regional Process Safety Seminar
22—23 September, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
We continue to see process safety incidents occur all over the world, despite the vast amount of knowledge we have about root causes.
So why do we not seem to be learning the lessons of the past?
People will respond and act based on what they have experienced in the past. If people are encouraged to bypass safety systems by being rewarded for delivering productivity, they will continue to do it. This is where leadership and culture come to the fore.
Demonstrating good process safety leadership will not only lead to positive process safety results, which directly enhance organisational reliability, they will also lead to a culture where people are valued and supported.
This improvement of leadership and culture underpin our efforts to improve process safety outcomes, so people can go home at the end of their shift, unharmed.
Join us at the 9th Regional Process Safety Seminar so see how you can enhance your leadership and organisational culture to achieve improved results.
