Workshops: 24 March, 2010

09:00 - 11:30 Workshop A: Asset Integrity and Process Safety – Integrating the approaches of the CCPS and HSE

The integrity of your installation and the safety of your personnel are inextricably linked. Particularly in the realms of process safety the health of the installation is paramount. Visibility over the key areas is essential and collaboration between the safety and integrity departments incredibly important. As a company that has it’s basis in Canada, the CCPS guidelines form a strong part of Nexen’s process safety and integrity philosophy. This workshop will give delegates that chance to discuss this method and how it would translate into other organisations.
