Welcome Back!
We are excited to announce that this year’s National Occupational and Process Safety Conference will be hybrid, meaning that we have both in-person and virtual options for our attendees.
This year’s keynote speaker will be Bob Herman, Executive Vice President, Refining with Phillips 66. Following Bob will be Dean Maniatis, HSE Manager of Global Refining also with Phillips 66 presenting “The Book of Dean – Learnings and Lessons from a 40 Year Safety Professional."
We are fortunate to also have two government speakers this year: James Frederick, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Dr. Katherine Lemos, Chairman and CEO, US Chemical Safety Board.
Other conference topics include practice sharing discussions on energy isolation, facility siting, drugs in the workplace, human performance, MOC’s, training, and alarm management to name a few.
We have special opportunities for our safety award winners to share their unique practices with the boarder industry through panel and poster sessions. New this year, we are inviting the contractors from these site to share their practices as well.
This year’s safety awards event is scheduled for August 25th from 11:30-1:30 PM. The event will be available to both in-person and virtual attendees.
There are opportunities to exhibit in-person or virtual, as well as several sponsorship opportunities including reserving a time slot to present content to the virtual audience.
The 2021 conference is going to look much different than any other year. NSC is going hybrid! Take a look at the agenda to see what sessions will be offered for in-person and virtual viewing.
What sessions are available?
- Hybrid Sessions will take place in New Orleans in front of the in-person attendees. These sessions will be live streamed to the virtual audience.
