Speaker

Lorraine Braben, Lorraine Braben Consulting (supported by Nick Morris, Process Safety Engineer at Tronox)

Lorraine is an independent human factors consultant, Chartered chemical engineer and qualified HR practitioner and trainer. Having worked at an upper tier COMAH site for many years in a variety of roles, she has experienced the results of technical and business practices which can unwittingly influence behaviour and impact on safe operation of plant and equipment. She has learnt how decisions made with the best of intentions may not always deliver the results expected and how understanding the human element of safety can improve engineering design, risk management and plant operation.

Having set up her own registered consultancy, Lorraine now offers support to clients in the assessment, delivery and training of human factors related topics and has delivered a wide range of projects for high hazard sites, including COMAH, offshore, chemical and pharmaceutical. Lorraine is a Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors (CIEHF).
