APPEA National Oil & Gas Safety Conference – "Safety throughout the lifecycle" 

The 2011 Conference was held 9-10 August 2011, at Burswood, Perth WA (it followed on from the HSR Forum which was held on 8 August) www.appeasafetyconference.com.au

The APPEA National Oil & Gas Safety Conference is the industry's premier safety event, providing an exciting forum where innovative ideas can be shared and discussed, as well as offering the ideal environment for industry networking.

In our industry, safety must be at the forefront of everybody's minds and completely integrated into all phases of projects and operations – from design, development, construction, installation, commissioning, and operation, right through to decommissioning. Safety is a continuous and systematic process, and for this companies must have a line of sight up and down each part of the system.

The 2011 Conference 'Safety throughout the lifecycle' was an event where everyone in the workplace, from the boardroom to the frontline, came together to talk about how to achieve real and sustained improvements in safety performance.

APPEA is always looking for opportunities to enhance the experience for all delegates. In 2011 APPEA included:

  • Hosting two international keynote speakers – Dr. Patrick Hudson from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and Dr. Martin Moore-Ede, CEO of Circadian and a leading expert on managing the risks of human fatigue in transportation and industrial businesses that operate 24/7
  • Offering an optional half-day workshop focusing on incident investigation skills lead by expert Edward Perz
  • Expanding the exhibition space
  • Tailoring three concurrent streams to the needs of varying industry sectors

The international speakers came together with other leaders and experts in the industry, to create a dynamic program covering 'line of sight' leadership, safety competence, asset integrity and process safety management.

Another highlight included presentations from the finalists in the 2011 APPEA Safety Innovation Awards, facilitating knowledge exchange across the industry and providing inspiration. The Conference and Innovation Awards Dinner was a fantastic chance for work teams to get together and celebrate their successes.
