We're pleased to share that the full conference programme for Hazards 36 is now available to view.
Taking place 17-19 November 2026 in Manchester, Hazards 36 brings together process safety professionals from across the world to share lessons, research and practical guidance on managing major accident hazards.
This year's programme spans over 100 technical presentations across three days, organised into themed streams including:
➡️ Battery energy storage systems (BESS) safety
➡️ AI and digitalisation in process safety
➡️ Carbon capture and storage (CCS) engineering
➡️ Barrier management and assurance
➡️ Hydrogen, ammonia and the energy transition
➡️ Human factors and organisational culture
➡️ Risk assessment and consequence modelling
➡️ Learning from major accidents
Highlights include the Trevor Kletz Lecture from Shakeel H. Kadri of the Center for Chemical Process Safety, an IChemE update from Fiona Macleod, and plenary presentations on subjects ranging from the latest developments in incident investigation guidance to cross-sector lessons from the Grenfell disaster.
Whether your interest lies in established process safety disciplines or emerging areas such as battery storage, hydrogen and AI-assisted risk assessment, there is something in this programme for you.
