The Amsterdam Process Safety Seminar Series

Reasons to attend

Recent accidents such as the major explosions in Texas City (USA) and in Buncefield (UK) have shown that managing process safety is essential for operating a facility. Low average incident rates are not enough: control of process operations must be demonstrated. 

This seminar series provides you with an understanding of the elements that are necessary for managing process safety in your organization. You will gain an understanding of why they are necessary, be able to choose among the various available tools, and find out how best to implement them in your organization. Top speakers from industry will enable you to leave the seminar empowered with what you need to make a change in your company.

Our goal is to organize these seminars twice a year, and cover varying themes centred around process safety. Enrolment fees are affordable because the seminars will be organized by a group of volunteer HSE professionals backed by AEL, a Finnish non-profit technical training organization. 

The seminar series is endorsed by the European Process Safety Centre (EPSC), the CCPS (Center for Chemical Process Safety) and the Dutch Association for Safety Science (NVVK).

 Who should attend

Safety and Risk Professionals, HAZOP Leaders, Process Chemists, Process Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Project Managers, Process Control & Instrumentation Engineers, Risk Managers, Safety Managers, Maintenance Managers, Plant Managers,Site Managers, HSE Directors.
