Day 3Wednesday, 3 September 2025

This two-part workshop promotes an interactive hands-on, and solutions-oriented approach to workplace safety and applying hazard mitigation principles.

Part 1 introduces participants to:

• Conducting a simulated field walkdown using the Activity Hazard Review process.
• Understanding how various energy sources (e.g., chemical, electrical, gravitational, hydraulic, mechanical, pneumatic, radiation, thermal) can pose risks, if left uncontrolled.
• Applying risk assessment and hazard mitigation principles, emphasising the proactive identification and control of hazards using a structured approach based on the E=0 safety concept — eliminating or controlling energy sources to achieve a “safe state.”

Part 2 is an interactive workshop designed to develop practical field skills to identify, assess, and mitigate hazards across a variety of operational scenarios.

Part 2 reinforces learning outcomes through interactive discussions and hands-on exercises:

• Through guided discussions and case studies, participants will learn to recognise both known and suspect hazards.
• Participants will conduct an Activity Hazard Review to systematically evaluate risks and implement effective mitigation strategies using real-world examples.
• Develop and implement appropriate mitigation and control measures to achieve and maintain a "safe state" (E=0).

Public perception of nuclear energy remains a key factor influencing policy, investment, and regulatory decisions. Concerns over safety, radioactive waste, and environmental impact often create resistance, despite nuclear power's role in reducing carbon emissions. Building trust through transparency, innovation, and stakeholder engagement is crucial.
