HSE and process safety to be explored at upcoming oil and gas conference

The future outlook for the oil and gas sector is promising even though Australia’s biggest gas projects are now moving from construction to production phase.

As the oil and gas sector starts to see some recovery from recent fluctuations in commodities prices, HSE and process safety managers are increasingly searching for solutions to mitigate risks while companies are cutting costs and reducing personnel.

However, whether oil and gas organisations take a short- or long-term view, HSE and process safety strategies must be rigorously accurate at both the construction and production phases to ensure an incident-free environment, and to reduce vulnerability and exposure to risks.

At the 2nd annual Safety in Oil and Gas 2016 conference, being held in Brisbane from 1–3 March 2016, senior management in HSE, risk, process safety, operational excellence and technology will share their experiences on how to apply new methodologies to identify and implement effective change management strategies, embrace new technologies and inspire safety leadership.

With over 25 speakers, 18 presentations, two panel discussions and two full-day learning sessions for senior executives, this three-day event will bring together industry professionals to develop offshore and onshore process safety strategies for controlling major accident risk and achieving ongoing organisational reliability.

The event will help attendees to:

• discover new industry approaches and apply them to health safety and environment risks and process safety management strategies;
• benchmark their methodologies to identify worthy change management strategies;
• inspire leadership to engage, motivate and develop their safety team;
• empower workers and contractors to contribute to HSE excellence through improved communication;
• apply new safety and human factor practices to cope with the challenges of a new era;
• take advantage of data analysis to achieve excellence in safety management;
• enhance their abilities to detect and avoid hazard incidents through process safety methodologies.
