Event Description
Hosted in conjunction with Step Change in Safety, we are delighted to be hosting a member-exclusive event focusing on improving safety within the energy industry.
Split across two key areas, a Safe Space Discussion and a Human Factors Work Group, this event, with support from EEEGR Members Perenco and Shell, will be a high value learning opportunity for the sector.
The Safe Space session is viewed as a high value learning opportunity across the sector, which will only be shared with those in attendance and out of the public eye of the media and press. This is the very nature of the “safe space” forum.

Over time, Step Change in Safety has evolved and adapted to the changing needs of, and challenges faced by, the UK energy industry by embracing new technologies, growing their portfolio of events and supported the industry in equipping its workforce to identify hazards and ensure risk is properly controlled. Together with their members, they are improving safety through engagement, leadership and collaboration.
