The Santiago rail crash happened over 11 years ago, and the judge has now ruled on the responsibility for the crash. One of the factors was a failure to do a risk assessment of two changes to the project. The Safety Director who signed off the line as safe, without the required risk assessments, has been given a 2.5 year jail term.

James Catmur was an assistant to an expert witness in the court case, making the argument that the failure to do the required risk assessments was fundamental. Come and hear about the accident, the court case, and what caused the accident.

The accident/court case has set a precedent that not doing a common safety methods for risk assessment (CSM-RA) can result in a criminal conviction.

The webinar will be applicable to Safety Directors, Safety Managers/Engineers, Risk Managers and Legal Advisors

Tea and coffee will be served from 17:30 and the event will start at 18:00. 

The presentation and Q&A will last approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes and then there will be a networking/drinks reception immediately after.
