Preventing Disaster: Learning from Longford (Professor Andrew Hopkins)

This DVD workshop is based on a detailed analysis of the Longford gas explosion that resulted in the death of two workers and crippled Melbourne's gas supply for two weeks, as outlined in Professor Hopkins' ground-breaking book "Lessons from Longford: the Esso Plant Explosion".
In this program, the eleven key contributory elements in the safety chain are examined, and flagged in a generic way so that participants can apply the same approach to their own organisations.
The Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) uses this program for their Fundamentals of Process Safety five-day course and our Process Safety for the Board one-day course.
FutureMedia Training and Consulting Division offers the training course based on the Preventing Disaster Learning from Longford DVD Managing Human and Organisational Factors in Safety.

Testimonial: "Andrew Hopkins provides critical insights and lessons on the cultural and organizational causes of major industrial accidents. Hopkins conveys simple yet powerful messages that help people understand the complexities and interconnecting components of HSE management systems. His work and research revolving major industrial accidents is timely, significant, and practically relevant to the petroleum industry today and he has made great contributions to the Occupational Health and Safety field in general. It is my hope that the petroleum industry will learn through Hopkins' underlying message that superior safety results in safety performance is driven through mindful leadership and leadership's commitment to learn from previous incidents."
