An ASSE Virtual Symposium - Sep. 21-23, 2010

Combining lessons learned from the current oil discharge disaster in the Gulf of Mexico with best practices gleaned from several decades of collective industry experience, ASSE is delivering this very timely Virtual Symposium for SH&E professionals working in the petroleum industry.

  • Environmental Issues: While the majority of safety professionals moderately participate in environmental issues, the safety professional in oil and gas has well-defined responsibilities related to their organization’s environmental challenges.
  • Emergency Response Planning and Execution: When a crisis occurs in the oil and gas industry, it can be large scale to catastrophic. Safety professionals in the petroleum industry play a significant role in planning and overseeing the response for these events.

Rethink Safety

imageA New View of Human Error and Workplace Safety - Symposium

November 4-5, 2010 • San Antonio, Texas

The same incidents and accidents keep happening. Do you know why? The reason may not be what you think!

Much of the loss associated with occupational accidents is attributed to human error. Despite remarkable advances in safety management, errors, incidents and accidents continue to occur. What do we know about human error? Would a better understanding of error change our way of thinking about safety management? This symposium will take a fresh look at the causes of errors and offers new strategies to improve your organization’s safety.
