This webinar is hosted by the IMechE Process Industries Division and promoted across the Centres in the North West and Yorkshire Regions and, the Aberdeen Area, all part of the Process Industries Community.
Process industries include many manufacturing and utilities sectors: food, beverages, drugs, chemicals, fuels, water, plastics and more. The concepts of process safety management - the prevention of catastrophic incidents - that have been developed successfully in higher hazard parts of these sectors are vital in maintaining safe, reliable operations and should be considered by engineers working in these and other quite different sectors for their benefits.
Organisations that manage high-hazard processes become skilled at defining clearly ’what has to go right’ to competent people, checking and measuring whether that is so, understanding the reasons when it has not been so, having engaged managers and leaders, and recognising and carefully managing changes. Starting with a retrospective of 50 years of catastrophic incidents in 2021 we have run a series of short webinars covering each of these aspects under the headline of ‘steal with pride’.
This online event will include information, break-out discussions and ideas-sharing for you to apply in your work. It will reflect on the series of webinars since 2021 that have covered the concepts of process safety management and why they are important to mechanical engineers. It will also cover the importance of helping humans to be reliable in safety-critical tasks, professional engineering ethics and the need to speak up, and how the series’ legacy could be best used by future engineers.
Engineers from different disciplines and backgrounds will facilitate the sessions bringing their own career experiences.
