In 2010, the 6th Global Congress on Process Safety will again feature the coordinated conferences of the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), the Loss Prevention Symposium (LPS), and the Process Plant Safety Symposium (PPSS). This annual event is the primary forum for practitioners to share practical and technological advances in all aspects of process safety.

The largest gathering of process safety professionals in the world, the Global Congress on Process Safety is presented by CCPS and the AIChE Safety & Health Division. This year, the focus is on Process Safety: Learning from the Past to Improve the Future.

The Program has been designed to draw on past experience and lessons learned. Using these as a lens for examining the current state of process safety, participants will address ongoing improvements that will benefit all stakeholders by reducing incidents, better focusing risk reduction and learning from plant level experiences. The Program includes the following tracks and sessions:
