SUMMARY:Importance of Safety Critical Elements in Process Hazard Analysis – An APEGS Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Date: November 14\, 2024 \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CST (Saskatchewan Time) \nEvent Format: Live Webinar \nHosting Organization: APEGS – A Member-Led Live Webinar Series Presentation \nEvent Summary: Safety Critical Elements (SCEs) play a pivotal role in safeguarding industrial operations\, particularly in high hazardous process industries such as oil and gas\, nuclear\, chemicals\, and petrochemicals. These elements encompass equipment\, systems\, and controls that are essential for preventing or mitigating major accidents hazards\, such as fires\, explosions\, and toxic releases. During Process Hazard Analysis (PHA)\, identifying and assessing SCEs ensures that potential risks are recognized and adequately managed by the team tasked with these responsibilities. By focusing on SCEs\, organizations can prioritize resources to maintain\, monitor\, and improve critical safety barriers\, thereby minimizing the likelihood of catastrophic failures. Identification and management of SCEs falls under many of the important elements in CSA767:2022 Process Safety Management. The integration of SCEs into PHA fosters a proactive approach to risk management\, enhancing the overall safety of operations and compliance with regulatory standards. Ultimately\, the recognition of SCEs underscores their vital role in preventing accidents and ensuring the protection of both personnel and the environment. \n Presenters: David Asekomhe\, Engineering Licensee\, is a safety enthusiast and agent of change with over 20 years of experience in the oil and gas\, petrochemical\, chemical\, and energy industries. With engineering and master’s degrees from the University of Manchester\, he currently serves as president and board member of RskLess Inc.\, a minority-owned organization in Calgary dedicated to empowering future PSM engineers and executives. His career began at ExxonMobil\, followed by senior roles in the UK. In 2013\, he moved to Canada\, advancing to VP at a process safety consulting company for over nine years. He has extensive experience in PSM and views it as a passion rather than just a job. Additionally\, he contributed to developing PSM frameworks for Qatar’s largest petrochemical company. \nJamie Merriam is a Process Safety and Safety Instrumented System trainer and a registered Professional Engineer with APEGA. With over 30 years of industry experience\, including 20 years dedicated to process safety issues\, Jamie currently consults on technical and training matters with David Asekomhe and Rskless Inc. Jamie began his career as an instrumentation technologist from SAIT\, working in construction and maintenance for about 10 years. In the early 90s\, Jamie moved to the USA and earned a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tennessee. After graduation\, he traveled to Newfoundland\, Canada\, and spent 10 years working in offshore construction and maintenance on the Terra Nova FPSO. Returning to Alberta\, he has since focused on Process Safety and Safety Instrumented Systems. Currently\, Jamie’s work involves a combination of training and Process Safety Management (PSM) support activities\, including facilitation\, auditing\, and development. \nWho Should Attend: Engineers and Technologists involved in the design\, operations and maintenance of process equipment. For example: Process Engineer\, Process Safety Engineers\, Mechanical Engineers\, Facilities Engineer\, Production Engineers\, Scientist\, Production Engineers\, Electrical Engineers\, and Instrumentation Engineers. \nGeneral Information: There is no cost to attend\, but registration is required. This webinar is eligible for 1 Formal Activity CPD credit. \nThis event will be held live on the Microsoft Teams platform.  The meeting link will be sent by end of day on November 12\, 2024 to the email address in which you registered for this event. \nRegistration is now closed. If you need to cancel your registration to this event\, please email cpd@apegs.ca \nNOTE: Clicking the ‘Add to Calendar’ button on this page does NOT register you for this event. \nEvent Contact: APEGS Professional Development Department – Angela Foster or Jolene Arthur – cpd@apegs.ca \nDisclaimer: The views expressed during this event are those of the presenters and do not necessarily represent the views of APEGS.

SUMMARY:The Rainy River Tailings Management Area
DESCRIPTION:Date: November 14\, 2024 \nTime: 12:00 – 1:00 PM CST \nEvent Format: In person presentation \nLocation: Saskatoon\, SK \nHosting Organization: Saskatoon Geotechnical Group \nEvent Summary: The Rainy River Tailings Management Area (TMA) in Northern Ontario is uniquely situated above highly plastic\, normally consolidated glacial clay soils of variable thickness. Since 2022\, SRK has assumed the Engineer of Record (EOR) role for the Rainy River TMA. This involves annual TMA dam raise design\, on-site support for construction quality control/assurance\, and dam performance monitoring during and post-construction. The TMA is of zoned material construction consisting of clay core dams with chimney and blanket filters and rockfill buttressing\, constructed upwards of ~30m in height. The clay foundation soils govern the design and construction of the dams. The design of the TMA requires large upstream and downstream rockfill buttressing combined with extensive monitoring to ensure continued performance is maintained. Instrumentation within the TMA foundation is extensive\, including piezometers\, slope inclinometers\, shape arrays\, settlement plates and magnetic extensometers to monitor the site. Both significant displacements (both lateral and vertical) and excess pore water pressures are observed throughout the year in response to additional loading. Monitoring of the instrumentation is a constant effort shared by the owner and EOR. The successful construction and operation of the site has benefited from continuous improvements to the monitoring and reporting system\, yearly field investigations\, interrogation of the most-probable and unfavourable conditions through numerical modelling\, and open communication between EOR and owner/site operations. \nCost: From $15 – $25 \nHow to Register: Click here for more information and to register \nEvent Contact: Saskatoon Geotechnical Group – www.saskatoongeotech.com \nDisclaimer: The views expressed during this event are those of the hosting organization and do not necessarily represent the views of APEGS. \n
