 Hazards 27
10–12 May 2017 Birmingham, UK

It is widely accepted that process safety competence,

coupled with the importance of retaining lessons learned
in a corporate memory, is at the heart of a safe operating
environment. Yet we continue to see major process
industry accidents caused by human error, a failure to
learn from past incidents and a breakdown of process
safety systems.

Risk will never be eliminated, but it can be better managed

and reduced. IChemE’s Hazards conferences promote
safer industry practices, sharing latest developments, best
practice and lessons learned in process safety. Hazards 27
will take place on 10–12 May 2017, in Birmingham, UK.

Aimed at anyone who is active in process safety and

risk management, Hazards 27 will provide essential
technical insight into how to improve process safety
performance and reduce the risk of hazardous events.
You’ll find a packed programme of technical presentations
with contributions from leading industry practitioners,
researchers and regulators, designed around the themes
that are fundamental to managing and reducing risk
effectively. Invited keynote speakers will provide their own
strategic insights into the process safety challenge, and a
trade exhibition will run alongside the conference.

Hazards 27 is an excellent opportunity to review your

process safety practices, network with international
process safety professionals, and discover products and
services to help improve process safety performance.

Hazards

Mark Gallagher, Performance Insights Trevor Kletz Hazards lecture

Mark Gallagher has worked in international motorsport for over 30 years, including senior roles
with the Jordan, Red Bull Racing and Cosworth’s Formula One™ teams. Off the race track, he
makes regular appearances in the media as an analyst and industry expert passing comment on all
aspects of Formula One™.
Mark is also a leading motivational speaker, drawing parallels between the challenging, high-speed
environment of motor racing and the fast-paced, fast-changing business world. He regularly speaks
on the importance of risk management, offering a fascinating insight into how personal, commercial
and operational risk is managed in the motor racing industry and what can be achieved when a
business culture is reprioritised towards safety-first. Mark has been a member and contributor to
both Formula One™'s regulatory safety and technical working groups, the former charged with
striking the balance between commercial concerns, risk assessment, and the safety of drivers,
teams and spectators in a sport which still remains one of the most dangerous.
Speaking during the opening session of Hazards 27, Mark will share insights into the evolution of
risk management and safety culture within Formula One™, and discuss how the lessons learned can
be transferred to the high hazard industries.

Chris Beale, Process Safety Adviser, BASF

"Managing Weak Signals – Driving Continuous Improvement in Process Safety in a Complex
Organisation"
Chris will discuss how BASF measures process safety performance at different levels,
encompassing both plant specific details and wider organisational factors. He will provide an
overview of how different metrics are used across the organisation, as well as how the gap between
plant and site-specific metrics and issues, and wider corporate issues, is bridged. He will discuss
how weak points are identified in terms of risk control systems, plants/sites with poor performance
and specific problems, and how remediation measures are identified and implemented. He will
conclude by critically reviewing how this approach influences process safety performance in
different parts of the organisation, referencing a number of recent incidents and near misses.
Examples and experience will be taken from the different industry sectors where BASF is present,
ranging from Seveso III chemical sites with high process safety hazard potential, to low hazard sites
in sectors such as building products, material recovery and pharmaceuticals.
Chris provides process safety support and governance to 40 sites in BASF’s North West Europe
region. This includes safety engineering, process safety risk assessments, capital project support,
legal compliance (Seveso III, Atex), auditing and incident investigation. The sites span many
different sectors of the process industry including speciality chemicals, polymer production,
coatings and pharmaceuticals. He has worked for 25 years in process safety and represents BASF
on CIA and industry professional networks and is actively involved in IChemE.

Jasper Clark, London Risk Engineering Hub Leader, Marsh Energy

Malcolm Sarstedt, Europe Process Safety Operations Manager,

Unilever
"The Importance and Practical Application of Good Process Safety Management In a
Fast Moving Consumer Goods Company"
There is a widespread perception that process safety management systems are the preserve of
the high hazard chemical industry and that the risks in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)
industry do not justify a similar approach. Closer study shows that the topic is very important to
a much wider spectrum of industry. Malcolm's presentation will draw on his direct experience of
developing and implementing a new approach to process safety management in Unilever.
Malcolm is responsible for leading Unilever’s Europe Process Safety Improvement Programme
to ensure that all manufacturing locations in Europe have robust controls in place to effectively
manage process safety hazards. He has led the development of Unilever’s company standard
for process safety management along with the associated training material, and established the
approach for building process safety capability and expertise globally.
Prior to this he was the global Lead Electrical Engineer in Unilever, responsible for providing
strategic electrical advice to the supply chain leadership and factory management at more than 260
locations in over 100 countries. Before joining Unilever he worked at ICI for 17 years and briefly
ABB, in a variety of roles that included responsibility for design, construction, commissioning,
operation of electrical equipment and systems at various large production sites. Before that he
worked in the power generation industry, commissioning large conventional power stations in the
UK and the Middle East.
Malcolm graduated with an honours degree in engineering from the University of Bristol in 1979.
He is an active participant in professional engineering institutions and is currently Chairman of the
IET Health and Safety Policy Panel, as well as a member of the UK Process Safety Management
Competence Programme Board.

Hazards

Optional workshops will be held at the conference venue on Wednesday 10 May 2017 before the official start of the
conference. Places are limited and available on a first-come-first-served’ basis with prior registration required via your
conference registration form.

10:00–13:00 Improving the Efficiency of Retrospective HAZOP Studies

■■ understand the key requirements for retrospective process safety

reviews

■■ discuss the mandatory elements required for an effective review

■■ consider approaches to improve the efficiency without compromising

quality of reviews

■■ summarise key findings to be presented at the main conference

Cost: free of charge (registration required)

10:00–13:00 Emergency Planning Principles

Managing crises and major incidents will affect an entire organisation. All
normal operations cease, priorities change and employees and teams are put in
situations they may never have experienced before. In the hazardous chemical
and process industries, detailed emergency planning is essential.

This workshop – a taster of the three-day training course provided by IChemE

on the same subject – outlines the key aspects of planning and the regulatory
requirements pertaining to the protection of people during major accidents.

Cost: £99 + VAT

14:00–17:00 Human Factors in Health and Safety

The importance of managing human factors to achieve improved process

safety is widely accepted. However many of the safety and operational
professionals charged with managing human factors have no formal
qualifications or training in the behavioural sciences.
This workshop offers delegates a taster of the one-year programme,
organised by IChemE and The Keil Centre, and accredited by the Chartered
Institute of Ergonomics and Human factors (CIEHF), to help develop a broad
understanding of human factors relevant to the process industries. Content
will be applicable to an international audience and has been developed in
consultation with safety and loss prevention specialists.

Cost: £99 + VAT

14:00–17:00 Inherent Safety in Design and Operation Development

Significant resources are invested in the daily management, control and

mitigation of risks in the chemical and process industries. However avoiding
or reducing hazards is inherently safer than controlling them, and benefits and
efficiencies can be achieved by promoting, understanding and creating a more
inherently safer working environment for new and existing facilities.
This workshop – a taster of the two-day training course provided by IChemE
on the same subject – will help delegates develop a greater understanding of
the principles of inherent safety.

14:00–17:00 Designing and Calibrating a Risk Graph

This workshop, led by author of IChemE's Using Risk Graphs for SIL
Determination Clive De Salis, will help you better understand how to design a
risk graph for your process risks.
You'll learn how to mathematically calibrate a risk graph based on your designs
and how to use existing corporate systems for the design and calibration to
make usage as easy as possible. Participants will also be able to check all risk
graph data matches LOPA, making the more detailed LOPA check easier.
Attendees should ensure they bring calculators to the workshop.
