Human Factors in Health and SafetyA professional development programme for the chemical and process industries 2008–2010Human Factors in Health and SafetyA professional development programme for the process industriesBackground and introductionThere is an increasing emphasis on the importance of managing ‘human factors’ to achieve improved safety and business performance in the chemical process industries. Major accidents, including those at Texas City and Buncefield, have once again highlighted the importance of addressing this aspect of performance. However, many of the safety and operational professionals charged with managing human factors have no formal qualifications or training in the behavioural sciences. To help address this gap, The Keil Centre and IChemE have organised this 2-year development programme. It builds upon the needs identified in the process industries, namely:– content covering human factors in process safety, health and safety generally, with links to other aspects of business performance;– a modular course design, with short residential events spread over time, also providing networking opportunities with like-minded professionals; and– consultancy skills development to help implement human factors solutions.Who should attend?This event is specifically designed for and will be of interest to:- internal human factors advisors/focal points;- operations managers;- HSE advisors and specialists; - industry regulatorswho want a thorough grounding in the subject matter, access to practical research-based tools and approaches, and discussion in small groups with acknowledged industry experts.What is involved?A two-year programme, comprising four intensive two-day events supported by course reading, which together form a broad human factors educational programme. The two-day events will alternate between Schipol, Netherlands and Edinburgh, UK.2008-9 Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun 08 08 08 08 08 08 08 09 09 09 09 09Consultancy skillspre-readingEvent 1Schipol1 & 2 October 2008Pre-reading Event 2Edinburgh22 & 23 April 20092009-10 Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun 09 09 09 09 09 09 10 10 10 10 10 10Pre-reading Event 3Schipol30 September & 1 October 2009Pre-reading Event 4Edinburgh 24 & 25 March 2010Human Factors page 1www.icheme.orgThis basic structure above caters for two audiences, specifically:– those who want to complete the whole programme, who would complete the initial consultancy skills pre-reading, and all four two-day events, leading to an IChemE Certificate of Course Completion; and– those who wish to attend single events (subject to availability).Reduced rates and priority booking is available for those who commit to the whole programme.Each two-day event will be strictly limited to 50 delegates, cover 4 key human factors topics.
