The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) is hosting its highly anticipated Spring Meeting and 19th Global Congress on Process Safety in Houston, Texas from March 12-16th, 2023. This conference is a premier event for professionals in the chemical engineering and process safety industries around the world. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in…

Low carbon does not mean low risk! With emerging and re- technologies for low carbon energy resources such as hydrogen and hydrogen carriers taking precedence in energy and governmental focus, considerations for safe operations and handling are of great importance globally in order to protect some of our most valuable resources such as life, assets, the environment, and public safety, to name a few.

Terminal Risk Management of Capital Projects & Storage Terminals  Practically everything we purchase requires the use of oil at some point. Integral to the global manufacturing process, oil and petroleum products require adequate storage and transportation solutions to ensure they are managed safely — which is trickier than it sounds. The logistics system built around…

A Tale of Two Gases: Hydrogen and Ammonia as Energy Carriers As technology, industry, and their place in the world’s economy continue to grow, so does our dependence on energy sources necessary to get jobs done. Unfortunately, fossil fuels, the primary energy source we consume, are a finite resource and damaging to the environment. As…

Five Myths and Misconceptions Around BESS & Lithium Battery Safety Driven primarily by concerns about climate change and resource availability, the demand for renewable and sustainable forms of energy has soared. But intermittency in sectors like wind and solar power — a disruption caused by the inconsistency of the weather — has made them less…

Significant safety concerns in many work sites include accidents resulting in fires and explosions. Even with preparation and training — accidents happen. Electrical equipment that an industrial organization relies upon to get their work done can cause the ignition of flammable vapors resulting in catastrophic destruction. Thus, work site areas may be classified as “hazardous”…

Fire safety is a vital part of any organization, especially industrial or manufacturing facilities where flammable chemicals, explosive materials, and other hazards are a part of day-to-day operations. While you may already have some fire safety measures in place, it’s never a bad idea to perform a fire hazard analysis (FHA).  Comprehensive fire hazard identification…

Why aerospace risk management is crucial in a new era of space exploration  The world is on the cusp of a new expansion in space technology. Advanced satellites, reusable rockets, and other aerospace solutions indicate a renewed focus on aerospace science, space exploration, and potential commerce beyond the Earth. Many companies are eager to take…

Make the most of your next facility siting study with 6 smart practices  Understanding building placement and facility hazards is key to developing and implementing smart, effective worksite safety practices. Without the right information, your team won’t make the wisest possible decisions, nor will you be equipped to consistently mitigate risks to worksite personnel and…
