Hazardous Areas & Process Safety Conference 2026 | Brisbane (Click here for the conference program)
By attending the Hazardous Areas & Process Safety Conference 2026, you will gain practical insight into how process safety and hazardous area decisions are developed, applied, reviewed, and challenged across real projects and operating facilities.
What established process safety tools, such as HAZID, HAZOP, LOPA, SIL determination, fire and explosion risk assessment, static electricity control, and hazardous area classification, are applied in practice, and where their limitations arise without sound engineering judgement.
What emerging technologies, including battery energy storage systems (BESS), hydrogen, flammable refrigerants, renewable energy facilities, and data centres, are changing hazard profiles and introducing new interfaces between electrical, process, and operational safety?
Where safety risks are commonly introduced during design, modification, commissioning, and operation, and how these risks can persist despite formal assessments being completed.
How safety decisions are interpreted by regulators and inspectors, including what is typically examined during audits, investigations, and enforcement actions.
How engineering and safety decisions are reviewed following incidents, and how assumptions, documentation, and design intent are assessed after the event.
How standards are interpreted and applied in complex installations, including updates to current standards and insight into standards under development or under review.
Practical lessons from real projects, incidents, and near misses, with a focus on what can be applied immediately to improve consistency and confidence in hazardous area and process safety practice. Special offer: buy two tickets, get the third ticket free. This offer expires soon.
Outcome for Delegates
Delegates will leave with a stronger understanding of how to make, justify, and communicate safety-critical decisions, and with practical insight they can apply to current projects, operating assets, and future designs.
