Speaker: Ian Clarke, OPERA Chairman and Head of Engineering and Construction, SWISS RE
Bio: Ian is currently head of the engineering and construction risk engineering team at Swiss Re, but has spent most of his almost 30 years in insurance in the downstream oil, gas and petrochemical sector. His industrial experience included drilling for oil and gas in the Australian desert, trying to make oil out of low grade Australian brown coal, and working in a technical safety capacity at one of Melbourne's most diverse petrochemical facilities before joining the insurance industry. He is a Chartered Chemical Engineer and a registered Professional Process Safety Engineer with the Institution of Chemical Engineers and also the current Chairman of OPERA.
Presentation Synopsis: Most people would be familiar with the document on losses from the oil, gas and petrochemicals industry published back in 2016, which is currently under review. Statistics from this analysis show that the vast majority of operations related failures occur during transient operations, be it abnormal, unusual, non-routine or infrequent activities. We will evaluate just three systematic loss prevention activities, PHA/HAZOP, operator competency and safety critical task analysis, and show, using several loss examples, how deficiencies in these lead to major losses. Deficiencies that we see all too frequently during site visits.
