Change Management:The words change management mean different things to different people. This first session tries to examine different aspects of change management from a Health & Safety viewpoint. Our guest speaker today is Steve Jackson the Business Support Manager at Hydrocarbon Resources. Steve also chairs the Best Practice Club's Special Interest Group (SIG) on Change Management, so is well qualified to present some elements of the subject at our meeting today.
Incident Investigation Best Practice:This second session will examine best practice investigation techniques in line with legal and regulatory requirements & obligations. Having an excellent investigation process should dramatically reduce the likelihood of incident recurrence. Our second speaker Vince Fisher (formerly of AWE) has had a long career in the petrochemical and nuclear industries working on major projects in the UK and Europe. In recent years he has turned his attention to Operational Experience Feedback – Learning from Experience – and was chair of the UK Nuclear Industry’s Learning Group on Operational Experience. He is now an independent advisor and training provider.
