Safety practitioners from a vast array of sectors will gather at the NEC to share best practice thinking and emerging research results.Plenary sessions will cover key cross-sector issues such as standards, competency and human factors. This is complemented by custom-made streams for safety professionals working within the rail, defence and aerospace sectors. In these sessions, speakers will share best practice and emerging research results that aim to minimise the risk of a system.A day of tutorials will be delivered by leading experts from industry and academia. Participants will learn through practical examples on the following topics:• Human factors and system safety• Practical software safety assurance• White box safety• Key compliance requirementsAn additional aspect of the conference is the networking opportunities it offers. Delegates will be able to interact with fellow engineers and exhibitors throughout the conference and over an informal drinks reception at the end of the second day.WhO shOUlD aTTeND?• Systems Engineers involved in the specification and procurement of complex systems from different application domains• Software Engineers responsible for the development and maintenance of safety-related software • Human Factors Engineers who deal with both human risks and human mitigations during system development• Project Managers interested in the integration of system safety engineering into the system development life-cycle• Operations and Maintenance Staff responsible for running safety-related systems • Regulators and Procurement Staff responsible for introducing and maintaining systemsSuPPORTINg ORgANISATIONSORGaNIseD BY:The Institution of Engineering and Technology Technical and Professional Networks www.theiet.org/tpnThe Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) is the largest professional engineering society in Europe and the second largest of its type in the world, with 150,000 members worldwide.
