Hazards Australasia 2015

Welcome remarksOn behalf of IChemE and the Hazards Australasia 2015 technical committee, I would like to warmly welcome all delegates and invited guests to Brisbane for the second Hazards Australasia, process safety conference.

For IChemE, process safety is at the heart of what we do and you are taking part in this conference because you have recognised that process safety matters.

The impact of process safety incidents cannot be dismissed. The loss of life, economic impact and environmental harm all result in our communities, politicians and regulators demanding the highest standards from our industries. This year’s Hazards Australasia theme is, Share the journey to enhanced safety and organisational reliability. In an effort to prevent process safety incidents from occurring, we must share our lessons learned, no matter what stage of the journey we are on.

I expect that your experience at this conference will leave you with a clear vision of how process safety can be improved in your job and in your region.

Over the next two days, you will have the opportunity to improve your networks and hear from others on the same process safety journey. There are also opportunities to learn from those outside the industry, who will bring to the table a different perspective on safety processes and risk management. This is always a worthwhile endeavour and it facilitates productive cross fertilisation between industries

We are also particularly grateful to the impressive line up of expert speakers and presenters who have generously volunteered their time to support this event. This support ensures that you get access to the latest safety information that is critical to the continued safe operation and economic success of the process industry in the region.

I would also like to welcome and thank our conference partner, HIMA Australia, gold sponsor, MMI Engineering, silver sponsors, DNV GL and GEXCON Software, conference dinner sponsor, WorleyParsons and all conference supporters and exhibitors. Without their support, the event would not have been possible.

And finally, may you leave this event with the latest tools and knowledge that will help you to go on to establish the highest benchmark for best workplace safety practice within our industry.

Keynote presentations




Trish Kerin, director, IChemE Safety Centre

"Process Safety Leadership: do you have what it takes?"

Trish was appointed to lead the IChemE Safety Centre in January 2014 after more than 20 years working in the oil and gas and chemical industries. She will challenge you to think about whether there is any difference between leadership and process safety leadership, and how you apply your leadership skills to benefit process safety.

Susan Fleming, managing director ACT Australia

Deepwater safety workshop

Bringing the reality of safety and leadership to life, Susan will lead a theatre-based play of Deepwater Horizon incident to the stage. On 20 April 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, operated by Transocean, exploded and eleven men lost their lives. But four months earlier in the North Sea on another Transocean rig, there has been a near miss with eerie similarities. Tragically the lessons from the near miss were not learned. In this hard hitting AKT safety programme we see the dramatic events onboard the Deepwater Horizon on the day of the disaster, as we follow the investigations as they uncover negligence, poor regulation, inadequate maintenance, catastrophic decision making and what the US authorities described as ‘a reckless disregard for safety’.

Conference dinner speaker: Darren Flanagan

Late on a Sunday night in April 2006, explosives expert Darren Flanagan received a call that would not only change his life forever but the lives of two other men he had never even met. For five days, the Beaconsfield Miners Todd Russell and Brant Webb had been trapped underground after a minor earthquake had triggered a mine collapse in the small town of Beaconsfield in Tasmania.

Darren's story is one of courage, relentless pressure, self-belief and sheer determination.

Nicknamed "the gun", Darren fired explosives that eventually released Todd and Brant from their tomb, 925m underground.

“The quality and impact of the Deepwater Horizon Theatre for our senior leadership teams was such that WesCEF believed it essential in our safety journey to expand the performances to include our supervisors, team leaders, engineers, safety teams and key operators and maintainers. Susan worked with us to generate a series of performances and facilitated workshops over the 4 months that followed. At the sessions, the energy displayed and the willingness to participate by all sections of our workforce is in itself a tribute to the impact of the initiative. The discussions and questions raised at the workshops were strong learning events for all involved and we will continue to leverage the feedback over the coming year as an important input into our focus on step change improvement in safety culture.”

True Risk Management:Engineering Beyond Assessment

Developing a thorough understanding of hazards and the risks they expose you to is extremely important: But it’s only the vital first step in managing risk.

To make a difference to the levels of risk you’re actually exposed to takes more than just assessment – it requires the application of sound engineering and management practices.

At MMI we believe that process safety management is more than just an interesting intellectual exercise; which is why we also specialise in delivering end to end pragmatic solutions to the major accident hazard industries that truly make a difference to our clients’ risk exposures.

Come and visit us at stand 6 to discuss how we can help you.

MMI Engineering provides technical consulting and engineering services to enable effective risk management. We assist our clients in the analysis, mitigation and management of risks posed by natural and man-made hazards present in a range of industries including:

Oil & Gas•Chemical & Petrochemical•Nuclear•Conventional Power•Clean Energy•Water Utilities•Defence & Security•Insurance•

ISC membership benefits

The benefits enjoyed by ISC partners vary with the level of membership. Three partnership categories are tailored to meet different needs.

A visible commitment to process safety

All partners are permitted to use the ISC’s name and logo on corporate literature. This demonstrates a visible commitment to process safety. Participation is a clear signal that your organisation treats process safety as a major priority, thereby helping to underpin trust and credibility, demonstrate care for employees and communities and enhance corporate reputation.

In addition, ISC partner organisations enjoy access to a wide range of learning opportunities. Knowledge is developed through analysis of incidents in expert groups, technical seminars, and workshops. ISC offers exceptional opportunities for knowledge transfer and learning across diverse industry sectors.

Influence through industry partnership

Involvement with ISC as an industry partner brings opportunities for your company to shape future thinking and performance in process safety at several different levels. ISC’s industry partners influence policy development through dialogue with regulators and governments. We inform the debate by contributing to common evidence-based positions on safety issues.

Industry partners influence the academic community by highlighting the importance of process safety as a research topic and by improving the coverage and treatment of process safety in engineering courses. Industry partners are invited to contribute to the accreditation process for safety-related degree programmes and courses.

Industry partnership also provides the opportunity to shape thinking within the global process engineering community. Process safety is a key component of IChemE’s Chemical Engineering Matters initiative. You can influence the next steps on the process safety journey by joining ISC as an industry partner.

Operating partners set the process safety agenda

Operating partners sit at the core of ISC’s membership. This category is reserved for operating companies in the high hazard industries. Representation on the ISC advisory board allows our operating partners to set the agenda and define a global response to the process safety challenge. They receive all of the benefits enjoyed by industry partners and more.

In 2013 IChemE launched Professional Process Safety Engineer, a new peer-reviewed process safety registration that provides public recognition for safety practitioners. The registration is recognised and positioned at the same professional level as Chartered Engineer and Professional Engineer. Applications were received from process safety professionals from many different disciplines and Professional Process Safety Engineer has attracted international interest from major companies. Operating partners receive priority assessment for Professional Process Safety Engineer registration for two employees per year.

As an operating partner you will also receive:

■■ Two reserved places for directors and senior executives on IChemE’s annual Process Safety for the Board training course, organised specifically for ISC companies

■■ Preferential delegate rates and priority registration for technical meetings and conferences, including the acclaimed Hazards Symposium Series, which takes place in Europe, Australia and South East Asia

■■ Free online subscription to the Loss Prevention Bulletin and discounts on the purchase of the BP Safety Series books and animations

ISC’s operating partners also have access to a wide range of web resources, including an extensive archive of conference papers presented at more than 50 years of Hazards conferences.

Join the IChemE Safety Centre

IChemE is ensuring that Trevor Kletz’ wisdom lives on. Securing and maintaining the highest possible safety performance sits at the core of the professional chemical engineering mindset.

IChemE’s Chemical Engineering Matters initiative emphasises the importance of closer engagement with business leaders, regulators and other professional bodies with the aim of developing cultures that deliver real improvements in safety, health and environmental performance. These objectives remain at the heart of the Institution’s mission and ISC is the platform to realise this ambition.

Excellence in safety and risk management are fundamental competencies, which chemical engineers must apply in every aspect of their work, irrespective of sector. Continued promotion of a wider understanding of process safety and the implementation of best practice is central to ISC’s work.

Good regulation, which is enabling in nature and strikes a balance of what is reasonable and practical to reduce risk, is important for all industries. ISC supports a non-prescriptive, goal-based approach to process industry regulation where the legal duty lies squarely with the organisation that creates risk and benefits from it. In the high-hazard industries effective regulation also plays an important role in establishing and maintaining public confidence.

By joining ISC you can demonstrate your ongoing commitment to these principles and to process safety excellence.

If you think safety is expensive, try an accident. Accidents cost a lot of money. Not only in damage to plant and in claims for injury, but also in the loss of the company’s reputation.
