At this next round of our Real Projects series, we are collaborating with the Safety and Reliability Society (SaRS) to bring you this joint seminar and SaRS membership event, titled: ‘There is Safety in Numbers – True or False?’. The seminar will be presented by no less than the current Chair of the Safety & Reliability Society, Emma Taylor CEng FIMechE FSaRS.

The Talk will feature interactive discussions around:

  • Where do the challenges lie in achieving safety?
  • What is the broader picture around the technical assessment of risk (vis a vis Quantitative vs Qualitative risk assessment) that informs the ALARP demonstration?
  • What do we need to know in order to manage risk? What do we not yet know?
  • How do we handle uncertainty, societal concerns, etc?
  • What sort of technical, organizational and operational controls do we have?

 

SaRS Membership

There will also be a team from the SaRS membership committee at the event, who will be taking applications from any intending members into the Society. This represents a unique opportunity for any engineer who may have been considering joining SaRS (and thereby gaining a route to engineering chartership, amongst other benefits) to do so seamlessly, whilst partaking in discussions on a topical industry subject.

As always, attendance at this event is free, but do register using the link provided. Also, for anyone wishing to join SaRS, kindly contact either of the following prior to the event:
