THE field of process safety is constantly evolving. This goes right from the early 1800s – when Éleuthère Irénée du Pont recognised the importance of leadership commitment and had his managers and their families live at the gunpowder factory, thus ensuring they had a focus on safety – to modern-day technological developments in the design of instrumented protective systems.

Hybrid Airship: No Roads, No Problem
MORE than two-thirds of the world’s land area and more than half the world’s population have no direct access to paved roads. This lack of infrastructure presents incredible challenges for the resource extraction industries and has left many identified deposits undeveloped, including the Ambler region of Alaska, deposits in sub-Saharan Africa, and regions in the Andes.

THERE is a recurring number that despite magnificent developments in technical safety doesn’t seem to go away. That number is 80, and it relates to the percentage of incidents that in some way has been contributed to by a human. It is a recurring average across industry and in different settings. Looking on the bright side, it means that there is huge scope to make a significant improvement.

IN 1976, George Box opined: “All models are wrong, some are useful.” How do we assure that a model is not sufficiently wrong that it is useful? A useful model is one that adequately predicts the results under the conditions and scale required for design or a process simulation. Most models of course are not derived at design scale. We are inevitably working outside the envelope of model derivation. So how do we build confidence that the extrapolation is adequately correct that the results may be trusted?
