Are you vulnerable to process safety risk?

The 7th Annual ProSafe 2015, being held from 23 to 24 July 2015 at The Langham in Melbourne, brings together senior-level process safety practitioners and regulators across various industries. The event goes beyond the realm of process safety to imbibe lessons from other Major Accident Hazard (MAH) industries.

Regulators expect a multilayered approach to protection or control measures that will address technical, managerial and procedural arrangements. While Major Hazard Facilities (MHFs) stay bound by compliance restrictions, Process Safety Management (PSM) is now witnessing an increasing uptake from other safety-critical and asset-intensive industries that aim to prevent lost capacity and major accident hazards.

The ProSafe 2015 event provides a combination of case studies, workshops, discussions and theatre learning on technical risk control and human and organisational factors of critical hazard control.

Key topics include:

• Are your measures in place to maintain performance standards?
• Controlling the risk surrounding permits-to-work (PTW) through effective design and human factor considerations.
• Analysing and mitigating risks around shift handovers tied to compliance vulnerability.
• Preventing process safety from taking a backseat under commissioning deadlines.
• How can you make barriers work for your front-line staff?

Last year, the event attracted a total of 137 delegates with 19 sponsors. In attendance this year will be delegates from companies such as Laing O'Rourke Australia Construction Pty Ltd, Caltex Refineries (Qld) Pty Limited, BAE Systems, Woodside Energy, AGL Energy, Worksafe, Maersk Oil, BP, Shell, Coogee Chemical, Santos GLNG Operations, Caltex Australia, Alinta Energy, Thales, ROC Oil, Macquarie Generation and Methanex New Zealand.
