The EEMUA Conference 2017 will address how to optimise operational performance in a challenging risk environment. Marie Fallon, Director of Regulated Industry at the Environment Agency in the UK, and Paul Logan, Director of the Chemicals, Explosives and Microbiological Hazards Division at the British Health and Safety Executive, will provide a view of what is important to the regulator, why, what are the priorities and how will these evolve. They will also address how industry is currently doing, what are the expectations, how can this be measured and what does “good” look like. Geert Vercruysse, Process Safety Expert at BASF, Antwerp, will provide the users’ perspective.
