Hazards On-Demand Portal

Overview

The Hazards On-Demand portal provides online access to the valuable process safety content shared at IChemE’s Hazards conferences. A subscription provides access for 12 months.

Hazards is an annual conference that shares good practice, latest research, lessons learned and emerging challenges in process safety. The presentations delivered at Hazards share a wealth of practical insight from process safety specialists representing industry, regulators and academia.

A subscription to the Hazards On-Demand portal is an excellent way for those unable to attend the conferences in-person to access a wealth of process safety knowledge at their own leisure.

What is included?

The technical content presented at recent UK-based Hazards conferences. This includes:

• videos of the presentations delivered at the conferences
• the full conference papers (where available) that accompany the presentations.

Initially, the 70+ presentations delivered at Hazards 32 in October 2022 will be available. New content from other recent Hazards conferences (those held between 2018 and 2021) will be added to the portal every month.

What does the content cover?

Hazards conference programmes cover the functional areas that are key to managing and reducing process safety risk effectively – engineering and design, systems and procedures, knowledge and competence, human factors, assurance, safety culture, and environmental protection.

As such, presentations cover a significant number of themes including:

• asset integrity
• fire & explosion hazards
• human factors
• hydrogen hazards
• inherent safety
• modelling
• process safety management
• risk assessment
• safety culture
• safety leadership
• and many more.

Common themes include lessons learned, sharing good practice, and cross-sector/industry learning. Presentations also consider the emerging challenges and major hazard implications of new technologies and applications eg clean energy and digitalisation.

All technical content is peer-reviewed by a team of volunteers with expertise in process safety. This includes representatives from operating companies, the contracting/consulting sector, regulators, the insurance sector and academia.

How does the subscription work?

A subscription to the portal allows access for 12 months from the date we give you access. Multi-user subscriptions are available, with discounts depending on the number of users.

Content is hosted on the iVent platform, a website accessed via a unique log-in. Videos can be viewed on the portal but cannot be downloaded. The conference papers can be downloaded as pdf files.

After purchasing a subscription, we will set up your access to the portal and you will receive an email with a link and your unique log-in details. 

Please note that access to the portal is set up manually. We aim to process orders on the same day, but delivery of log-in details to your email address may take up to 24 hours, Monday to Friday.

Multi-user subscriptions
