Managing Technical Safety - Protecting People, the Environment & Reputations.
By robustly managing Technical Safety, we seek to minimise the chances of an asset causing harm (to people, the environment or commercially) throughout its lifecycle. The lecture will outline a concise engineering framework to facilitate the delivery of favourable Technical Safety outcomes, whilst supporting Reliable, Available & Maintainable (RAM) assets... so win-win? The talk considers regulatory frameworks in which we operate and examines what can happen if Technical Safety is compromised.

Static Frequency Convertors for UK Rail Traction Supplies
For sixty years, railways have been supplied with power by transformers connected to the public electricity supply. However, the Trans-pennine Route Upgrade has followed a different approach, with Static Frequency Converters connecting and electronically controlling power flow. The first, at Hambleton Junction, entered service last year.
