MANAGING SAFETY SYSTEMS EFFECTIVELY TO ENSURE THEY ARE LOOKING AT ALL THE RISKS WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION AS A SINGLE SYSTEM
09:00 International Keynote
Defining the key ingredients of successful management of change in safety systems
How process safety incidents (PSI) and management of change (MOC) work together to influence the implementation of all process safety elements
Common MOC system weaknesses
Leveraging technology to develop and implement an efficient, compliant and effective MOC system
Alistair Oliver, Production Manager, Oil Search PNG
09:30 Safety differently - Human factors for a new era
Today, the unrelenting pace of technology change and growth of complexity calls for a different kind of safety thinking. Automation and new technologies have resulted in new roles, decisions, and vulnerabilities. It is becoming increasingly apparent that conventional approaches to safety and human factors are not equipped to cope with these challenges and that a new era in safety is necessary.
In this session Sidney Dekker, internationally renowned thought leader on accident causation and human error, will cover the critical changes in the field during the past decade, and give a new approach to discussing safety.
- Understanding human error in the context of work, and the overriding importance of improved work design
- Applying a new approach that reflects the latest human factors/ergonomics research applicable to safety
- Identifying and implementing system safety and technology changes
Sidney Dekker, Professor, School of Humanities, Griffith University, Australia
10:00 Safety Leaders Panel
A new view of human factors and system safety
- In realizing that the human factor still plays a vital part in having a proactive safety culture, are we at all measuring the right things?
- What are the right performance indicators and what are the leading indicators we can link to the human element?
- The role of professionals in managing technological hazards - what have conventional accident causation models missed?
- Getting to the root of accidents - systems thinking applied to safety
Panel Moderator:
Ian Cameron, Head of Chemical Engineering, University of Queensland
Panellists:
Sidney Dekker, Professor, School of Humanities, Griffith University
Jan Hayes, Member of Advisory Board NOPSEMA
Rod Rutledge, Senior Advisor - Process Safety and HES Risk, Caltex
10:45 Morning tea
TAKING DATA ANALYSIS TO THE NEXT LEVEL FOR SAFETY IMPROVEMENT
11:15 Leveraging the power of insights from existing data for improving safety
- Integrating safety analyses across vertical, horizontal and temporal planes
- Unleashing the data silos - leveraging the power of insights from existing data for improving for quantifiable data collection/analysis
- Implementing data-driven models to convert raw data into actionable knowledge
Ian Cameron, Head of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology, University of Queensland
11:45 Reducing the risk of incidents by managing safety instrumented functions as part of your overall PSM Strategy
- Changing safety standards and regulations are increasing both public and regulator focus on process safety. It’s no longer acceptable to manage safety in a “reactive” mode.
- How to ensure your Safety Instrumented System (SIS) is providing the same level of risk reduction and safety integrity as it did on the day it was commissioned?
- How to overcome the challenges associated with time, visibility and complacency in order to mitigate any negative effect they have over your process safety integrity?
- How to achieve persistent performance monitoring and design validation through automation & intelligent software
- How to turn that data into knowledge and use that knowledge to manage operation al safety integrity for the life of the plant
Marc Radojkovic, Safety Business Development Manager for ANZ, Schneider Electric
12:15 Safety Leaders Panel
How to manage the critical barriers to implementation -lessons from the frontline
- New approaches, tools, and techniques applied to implement process safety effectively
- Bringing “risk-based thinking” to the forefront of the operations
- Pros and cons of implementing a common HSSE standard across the industry
Panel Moderator:
Ian Cameron, Head of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology, University of Queensland
