SUMMARY:NEIMME Lecture: Managing Technical Safety
DESCRIPTION:Protecting People\, Environment and Reputations. \nThis lecture will examine some key Technical Safety incidents from the last 100 years history and outline what we learnt. \nThis is a joint lecture with the North East Branch of the Institution of Engineering and Technology \nBy effectively managing Technical Safety\, we aim to minimise the risk of our engineering assets causing ‘harm’ (to people\, the environment or commercially) across their lifecycle. This lecture will examine some key Technical Safety incidents from the last 100 years of our engineering history and outline what we learnt (or not!) from these often-tragic events. It will also explore the regulatory frameworks in which we operate (e.g. HSE). Finally\, the lecture will present a robust engineering strategy targeted at delivering positive Technical Safety outcomes which also facilitates the reliability\, availability and maintainability of pertinent assets across their lifecycle. \nRichard Burnard is a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Richard has worked in both the public and private sectors across his 40-year career in a variety of industries including Utilities\, Nuclear\, Chemical\, Oil and Gas\, Pharmaceutical\, Renewables\, Manufacturing and Electronics. Richard spent the mid-section of his career as an HM Specialist Engineering Inspector with the United Kingdom Health and Safety Executive (HSE) working as part of their major hazards team. In his spare time Richard volunteers with the IET as a Professional Registration Advisor (PRA) and as a Northumbria Region IET Committee Member. He also works with local colleges and schools to promote careers in engineering and science. \n17:30-18:00 – Tea and Coffee\n18:00-18:50 – In-person only Lecture Starts\n18:50 to 19:00 – Q & A \nWNEIMME is the Royal Chartered membership organisation for Engineering\, Science and Technology in the North. \nFor more information about our events and the benefits of NEIMME membership see: https://mininginstitute.org.uk/membership/ \nFor information on IOM3 membership see: https://www.iom3.org/
