In today's society, Health and Safety is a priority for every workplace and chemical engineering is no exception: the IChemE celebrates 30 years of the Loss Prevention Bulletin with new booklets
30 years of incidents and accidents with LPB
IChemE celebrates three decades of incident and accident reporting this week with the release of a special commemorative issue of the Loss Prevention Bulletin (LPB)
The record attendance has been driven by a comprehensive technical programme organized around four key themes:.
* Risk Assessment and Management.
* Human Factors and Safety Systems Management.
* Learning from Accidents, and Experience from Other Industries.
* Chemical Reactivity, including Hazard Identification.
The main programme is augmented by three high profile plenary contributors, including BP Group Engineering Director, John Baxter, who is expected to set out his company's latest thinking in light of the Baker Report on the Texas City incident.
Chairman of the UK Health and Safety Commission, Bill Callaghan, will outline his views on the criticality of process safety systems and indicators in major hazard industries.
The line-up is completed with a view from the nuclear industry from BNFL Chief Executive, Michael Parker.
The key to success in process safety is the ability to translate knowledge into practice says John Atherton of the IChemE: "The programme will focus heavily on lessons learned, not just from accidents and near misses but also from successful process operations, the overwhelming majority of which are incident free".
The symposium, which opens at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on Tuesday 22nd May, includes an exhibition featuring twenty five organization offering process safety products, training advice and guidance.
