About

Have the competency requirements from functional safety standards diverted us from achieving the correct competence? Are we placing too much reliance on a few 'experts' to safeguard our process safety?

With a significant number of process safety incidents tracing back to systematic failures, this webinar aims to delve into the challenges of achieving the correct level of competency throughout the lifecycle of functional safety. 

Emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary collaborative approach, this webinar will also explore potential solutions to close competency gaps and create a robust functional safety management system.
