The conference called FUTURE SAFETY AND SECURITY RESEARCH IN EUROPE is focused on the direction of the safety and security research in Europe and organised by the Czech Technology Platform on Industrial Safety in close cooperation with the European Technology Platform on Industrial Safety will take place in Prague (Czech Republic), on October 24-25, 2013.
The aim of the conference is to present and discuss trends, strategies and objectives concerning preparation of HORIZON 2020 in the field of safety and security. The conference is financed from the Safety AGENT project, funded by the European Social Fund through the Operational Programme Education for Competitiveness and the state budget.
Deadline to register: October 10th (but the number of participants is limited due to logistics)

Over the past months, EPSC has been sorting through the archive of process safety reports, selecting ones of value for public release. EPSC reports reflect the efforts of working groups, who discuss process safety topics and share experience between members. Currently six reports are available to the public, dealing with a wide range of topics from high level organisational safety barriers such as skills and competence management or risk management systems, through to specifics of process safety work such as systems for protecting pressurised flammable gas vessels. Other reports made available cover subjects such as process safety in shared facilities, and ensuring against misidentification of chemicals. There has been considerable interest in the project from across the globe, with requests coming in from process industry professionals, students, educators, researchers, and others. The most requested report has been ‚How to Set up a Process Safety Competence Management System‘, a guidance report on the management of skills, experience and training to ensure that the knowledge needed for safe operation of a facility is always present. Second most popular has been ‚Risk Management Practice in the Process Industries‘, an overview of the key principles of risk management, and comparison of risk-based and rule-based methods.

Period of consultation: From 21.06.2013 to 13.09.2013
Objective of the consultation:
The objective of the policy initiative is to ensure further clarity on how nanomaterials are addressed and safety demonstrated in registration dossiers. REACH must ensure a high level of health, safety and environmental protection. At the same time it should permit access to innovative products and promote innovation and competitiveness. The regulatory environment affects time to market, marginal cost structure and allocation of resources, especially for SMEs. It also creates new business opportunities and contributes to consumer and investor confidence in the technology.
Specifically, the policy initiative shall provide clearer REACH requirements for nanomaterials to ensure that industry demonstrates safe use in the registration dossiers in accordance with the aims of REACH Article 1(1) „to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment, including the promotion of alternative methods for assessment of hazards of substance, as well as the free circulation of substances on the internal market while enhancing competitiveness and innovation“.
The Commission proposal of possible amendment of the REACH Annexes is foreseen to be made in 2013, and will be accompanied by an Impact Assessment. The objective of this consultation is to provide the Commission with the best possible evidence base for its work with the above tasks.

„Nuclear Energy Insider“ organizes a conference on „Nuclear Long Term Operations & Ageing Management Europe: Ensure safe long term operation and improved performance by executing definitive ageing management strategies“ that will take place on September 24-25, 2013, in Brussels.
As the majority of European NPPs approach the end of their original design life and costs for new reactors rise dramatically, investment in the long term operation (LTO) of existing fleets is more essential than ever. With life after 40 costing over €30bn for the French fleet alone (WNA), it is critical to strengthen the European supply chain and share knowledge, best practice and innovation.
Review lessons learnt from recent LTO and PLEX programmes to achieve a swift and cost efficient delivery on your projects
Evaluate post-Fukushima costs for operators to understand how this has increased the size of the LTO market
Discover the latest innovations in addressing physical ageing and obsolescence to improve plant performance and ensure operation past original design life
Hear updates from a panel of key European regulatory bodies to understand their expectations for life after 40
Profit from expert knowledge on I&C analogue to digital upgrades, fatigue analysis and concrete degradation, enabling you to construct a comprehensive ageing management programme

In November, a HRO event connecting researchers and practitioners of High Reliability Organizations with the aim to exchange ideas and solutions across enterprises and industries will be organized in France.
High Reliability Organizations (HROs) are a subset of organizations that exhibit continuous, nearly error-free operations, even in multifaceted, turbulent, and dangerous task environments. The Conference’s purpose is to disseminate the most recent findings in HRO theory, find cross-pollinations with related disciplines and share practical experiences, in order to provide new avenues for research and new long-term solutions for practice.
Programme:
Highly interactive presentations and discussions will address key issues of high reliability organizing, such as learning from near misses, making sense of early warnings, real-time response, humans as the last barrier, and HRO based change. Discussions will be consolidated from the following perspectives:
