You are invited to attend a one-day workshop organised by SCIC, The Energy Institute (EI) and Shell aimed at discussing how Singapore’s refining and Petrochemicals industries should go about developing increased focus on Human Factors (HF) issues and the development of competencies aimed at ensuring that these are appropriately implemented within appropriate organisations as part of basic safety management culture. Delegates from other MHI’s will also be invited to attend.
Registration Fees:
- SCIC and Energy Institute members: $214 (inclusive of GST)

Details:
Singapore has made significant strides in implementing its “safety case” regime aimed at proportionately applying methodologies for ensuring that hazards and intrinsic, as well as extrinsic, levels of risk are appropriately identified and, where possible, mitigated in all Singapore’s major hazard industries (MHI’s). One major element in applying the principles of a safety case regime rests with “Human Factors” (HF) that go beyond the technical / operating procedures’ considerations within design, development, operations and maintenance of assets.
The Energy Institute, UK’s Chartered Professional institution for energy professionals, is at the forefront of HF competency development initiatives in the UK alongside its industry members and aims to share this development activity with workshop delegates in order to enable discussion about how to best develop greater focus on the subject here in Singapore and, potentially, across the SE Asian region as a whole. Key speakers at the workshop will include visiting Human Factors specialists from the EI UK who will share past, present and planned future development activity being undertaken in this area.
The morning session of the workshop will concentrate on defining what skills are needed to appropriately manage HF issues within an organisation with a focus on a Skills’ Matrix and Learning / Development Pathway” originally developed by BP in association with the UK Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors (CIEHF), The EI is currently working with BP and CIEHF on adopting this training and development methodology as a means of promoting this approach throughout the energy sector, both in the UK and overseas in collaboration with its strategic partners such as SCIC. One of the developers of this methodology from BP will also be in attendance.
The afternoon session of the workshop will focus more on the “way ahead” here in Singapore with a view to developing an action plan for HF competency development through appropriate interfacing and sharing of best practice.
Main speakers and workshop facilitators are:
