Poor safety culture has contributed to many major incidents, and can be just as influential on safety outcomes as an organisation’s safety management system. As part of a structured panel discussion, our speakers will answer questions on the value of a safety culture as an enabler to successful safety and risk management, and the extent to which safety culture can be assessed. So get your questions ready!

Panel Members:

He was one of the developers of the Tripod model for Shell which is better known as the ‘Swiss Cheese’ model. Professor Hudson was selected as a Distinguished Lecturer of the Society of Petroleum Engineers in 2012–13, and an expert witness on process safety and safety culture in the BP Deepwater Horizon lawsuit in New Orleans.
