Effective Process Safety Management (PSM) should be a fundamental activity within an organisation for the identification, evaluation and control of process hazards to prevent major accidents. It follows that inherent process safety principles should be at the core of your overall safety culture to prevent process related injuries and incidents. How do you assure yourself that process safety is well managed in your organisation? Do you have and apply effectively the right process safety: Policies, procedures and practices Risk assessment techniques Performance indicators Behaviours and leadership This conference helps you answer these questions. This conference provides practical feedback for the development and improvement of PSM from several operating companies including Syngenta, Artenius and Huntsman. We also have input from the HSE and Chemical Industries Association (CIA). Leaders from the process industries will provide details for how they are ensuring PSM principles are further embedded into their manufacturing environment.

Environmental Health Risk 2009 is the fifth International Conference in this successful series which started at the University of Cardiff, UK in 2001 followed by the second at the University of Catania in 2003, the third in Bologna in 2005, and the last in Malta in 2007. Health problems related to the environment have become a major source of concern all over the world. The health of the population depends upon good quality environmental factors including air, water, soil, food and many others. The aim of society is to establish measures that can eliminate or considerably reduce hazardous factors from the human environment to minimize the associated health risks. The ability to achieve these objectives is in great part dependent on the development of suitable experimental, modelling and interpretive techniques, which allow a balanced assessment of the risk involved as well as suggesting ways in which the situation can be improved. The interaction between environmental risk and health is often complex and can involve a variety of social, occupational and lifestyle factors. This emphasises the importance of considering an interdisciplinary approach. The Conference aims to provide a forum for the dissemination and exchange of information on the diverse aspects of the impact of environmental factors on health across different disciplines.

Recently, there has been a disturbing increase in the number of natural disasters affecting millions of people, destroying property and resulting in loss of human life. These events include major flooding, hurricanes, earthquakes and many others. Today the world faces unparalleled threats from humanmade disasters that can be attributed to failure of industrial and energy installations as well as terrorism. Added to this is the unparalleled threat of emerging and re-emerging diseases, with scientists predicting events such as an influenza pandemic. Human made and natural disasters in 2004 were estimated to have claimed tens of thousands of lives worldwide with economic losses in the order of US$100 billion. The year 2005 further tested the international relief community with ‘unparalleled frequency and scale of natural disaster’; Hurricane Katrina alone having destroyed 300,000 homes, displaced 770,000 people, and cost US $200 billion. Figures for 2006 and 2007 follow similar patterns. All these events pose unprecedented risks to human health on a world scale which requires a massive effort by the international community. This conference therefore focuses on current global health risks, and how best to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters in order to reduce human health impacts. It will help participants to understand the nature of global risks, learn risk management strategies to prepare for disruptive events, and identify the best prevention methods in disaster management and public health. It will provide a forum for the exchange of information between leading academics and partners in disaster management.
