Session: Process Safety Challenges: Today and in the Future

Process safety leaders and professionals are remarkably busy people! In the daily grind, it is hard enough to keep up with urgent needs and requirements. However, that can pose a problem. What is coming up next that we need to prepare and plan for or investigate? Are there ongoing weaknesses today or future challenges tomorrow in process safety? How thoroughly are we addressing abnormal operating conditions in PHAs? Or, in our focused, narrow view of process safety, are we missing other important risks such as in the East Palestine, OH train derailment? How can we better manage the risks associated with organizational changes? Are there innovative technologies to support keeping PSI up to date? This session will address both existing challenges in process safety and new challenges on the horizon. Specific examples of process safety challenges encountered and how they were or can be addressed are desired.
