08:30 Registration and welcome coffee
08:50 Opening address from the Chair
Ian Travers, Deputy Director, Chemical Regulation Directorate, Health and Safety Executive (HSE), UK
EXPLORING NEW APPROACHES IN HSE, RISK AND PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT
09:00 International keynote
Precursors of a major accident – the role of leadership, process & culture
Kevin Lacy was BP's Vice President of drilling operations in the Gulf of Mexico and resigned just months before the Macondo incident because of disagreements with the oil giant over its commitment to safety. He believed the company was not adequately committed to improving safety protocols in offshore drilling operations to the level of its industry peers. The Deepwater Horizon rig explosion occurred on April 20, 2010, killing 11 workers and causing the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
For the first time in Australia, Kevin will give his insights from a leadership perspective on the organizational factors that preceded this major industrial incident and how these can be mitigated through proper leadership and safety culture
- Is leadership a common factor in all disasters?
- Analysing how we underestimate key risks
- Understanding why culture is the first and last barrier to escalate a risk into a disaster - How do we gain confidence that our processes are being followed?
Kevin Lacy, Executive Vice President, PetroSkills, USA
Former Vice President Drilling and Completions, Talisman Energy and BP
09:30 Developing a culture of safety champions: the road to HSE excellence
- Defining the 'what?' in process safety is not too difficult – so why is implementing an effective safety management programme a whole different challenge?
- Defining the critical steps to achieve safety excellence
- Implementing effective tools to drive continuous improvement in safety
