BCECA INsight - Design Safety & Engineering Committee Webinar

Inherently Safer Design in Energy Transition Projects

Wednesday 21 October 2026

Chair: Julie Venables, Technical Safety and Environmental Department Manager, KBR.

Speakers:  Philip Mahmud, Technip Energies; Margaretha de Leeuw-Planting, McDermott, Julie Venables, KBR and Vahid Foroughi, Fluor.

This webinar brought together industry professionals to explore the principles of Inherently Safer Design (ISD) and how to apply them across energy transition projects.

While many hazards associated with the energy transition are familiar and have been managed successfully for decades, new challenges are emerging because of unprecedented scale, novel applications, evolving technologies, and closer proximity to people and communities. Through real project case studies on ammonia, hydrogen, and lithium battery projects, speakers share practical insights into the challenges encountered, the trade-offs evaluated, and the decisions made, along with the rationale behind them. 

This free webinar will particularly interest process safety professionals, project managers, and engineers.
