(A1) What the HSE expects of duty holders on high hazard sites |
||
| This presentation will cover the HSE’s expectations of duty holders on high hazard sites. This will be focused on the management of primary containment systems for hazardous fluids. It will include the concept of the “Intelligent Customer” and a number of examples of where things have gone badly wrong. | ||
(A2) Has welding had a profound impact on our daily lives? |
||
Welding relationships with Engineering, HSEQ, Materials, Welding consumables, Welding equipment, NDT, Standards and specifications, Welding engineer, QA/QC, Budget & project planning. Welding inspection: Welding inspector duties, carry out visual inspections, coordinate NDT companies, ensure material traceability and marking, provide technical support to production, dimensional checks, asses and report on welds to acceptance levels, prepare ITP and NDT positions, welder testing/ training / qualification, responsible with final documentation. |
||
(A3) Assuring electrotechnical competence without occupational licensing |
||
| This presentation explores why assuring electrotechnical competence can prove more difficult in the UK than in other parts of the world, where mandatory occupational licensing regimes operate. It then sets out a case study on how LV electrical contractors have sought to establish and maintain robust competence and training standards in commercial and residential markets. This has been achieved mostly on a voluntary basis, although with sector bodies seizing upon such regulatory measures as exist (including, most recently, the Building Safety Act) to help underpin their own efforts. The second half of the presentation switches focus back to the process and energy sectors, and considers strategies available to asset owners wishing to build greater confidence in the competence of those working on their sites. | ||

It will explore strategies for creating an inclusive work environment to enhance collaboration and overall workplace harmony. Key focus areas include effective communication, people development, the need to manage organisational change, and the benefits for integrity and process safety management. These themes are addressed in the EEMUA AILC (Asset Integrity Leadership Certificate) training course of which the first cadre is ongoing. | ||
(B2) Competencies required for hydrogen damage mechanisms |
||
| This presentation provides an overview of the competencies that EEMUA Members see required to effectively manage processes and equipment that may be subjected to effects from Hydrogen Damage Mechanisms (HDM). Incidents related to HDM will be discussed, insights from the research conducted on behalf of the Hydrogen Forum will be shared, and a sneak preview of the forthcoming online training course on HDM will be shown to attendees. | ||
| (B3) Cyber Security of the marine environment | ||
| 15:00 -15:50 | Breakout sessions - C |
|
(C1) Preparing leaders for the energy transition: adjusting to challenges |
||
| This presentation zeroes in on the critical role of leadership in guiding end users through the energy transition. The speaker will share the importance of resilient leadership to overcome regulatory hurdles, mitigate operational risks, and drive sustainable practices to achieve a smooth and effective energy transition. | ||
(C2) Bolted joints - the journey to bolt integrity management |
||
| This presentation delves into the critical importance of ensuring bolt integrity from a global onboarding perspective. Attendees will gain insights into adopted practices, common pitfalls, and innovative solutions in bolted integrity management. Key focus areas include effective monitoring and maintenance strategies, and the importance of a proactive approach to bolted joint integrity to prevent failures and enhance safety. | ||
(C3) Alarm management - EEMUA 191 |
||
| Defining and operating large control system, typically with more than some ten thousand alarms, demands integrated solutions with effective management of change throughout the entire life of the asset. The presentation starts with alarm basics from EEMUA 191 and includes the IEC 62682 life cycle model for alarm management. Then an integrated alarm management life cycle system is defined. The new application has been implemented on a large oil production facility in the North Sea and examples from the application is presented and discussed. | ||
