Process Safety in the 21st Century

As an industry, our inability to learn from past incidents and demonstrate that process safety is improving has led to the project Process Safety in the 21st Century and Beyond. The aim of this project is to envision better process safety by outlining efforts that each stakeholder can take.

HOW WAS THE PROJECT UNDERTAKEN?

Gaining a global perspective of the key challenges in process safety is the first important step. The challenges were considered across four stakeholders: industry, academia, regulators, and society. To determine the challenges, a series of workshops at international symposia were undertaken, including in the UK (with input from other European countries), North America, Asia, Australia/New Zealand, and the Middle East. Various methods of consultation were used, but the key questions remained consistent. In process safety:

• What are the key industry challenges?

• What are the key academic challenges?

• What are the key regulatory challenges?

• What are the key societal challenges?

These questions were answered by professionals from various levels in industry, academia, and regulatory bodies. Once the challenges were identified, a top five list was drawn up for each stakeholder group.

Our goal with this document is to lay out a series of actions to be undertaken at various levels and across all stakeholders to improve process safety because people have a right to not get hurt. To enable this vision, this roadmap is a call to action to all stakeholders and not just process safety professionals.

We invite you to look at the opportunities and think about how you can influence them and positively impact process safety. Every professional is obliged to improve process safety because engineering and science are essential to us all and it must be sustainable in all senses of the word, including process safety. If we, as engineers, do not develop new strategies for continuous improvement, the engineering profession will become irrelevant to society and the need for process safety will become extinct, thus increasing process safety incidents. A question that needs to be answered is where this roadmap is intended to take us. The simple answer is that the roadmap and the associated journey are focused towards improvements in process safety performance, which will ultimately lead us to our vision of zero incidents.

Frank P. Lees Memorial Lecture

Frank P. Lees is noted for his monumental three-volume work, Loss Prevention in the Process Industries (2nd edition, 1996), an extraordinary accomplishment for one man and an outstanding compendium of our present knowledge of process safety. It is not, however, a scissors and paste job, a mere collection of other people’s thoughts; he thoroughly surveyed and evaluated present knowledge and provided his own comments on it. Lees also produced an immense amount of original work, particularly on QRA, HAZOP, consequence analysis and computer applications, and trained a generation of students to follow in his footsteps.

The Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center recognizes the contributions made by Frank Lees to the field of process safety and loss prevention. His teachings and findings will be the guiding light and inspiration for many in this generation and future.

Lynne Lachenmeyer will deliver the Frank P. Lees Memorial Lecture.
