Safety In Engineering
Failures & weaknesses of Safety Management and Safety Management Systems are the underlying causes of most accidents.
Safety Management
Jim Thomson has worked in Operations, Design Engineering, Project Management, Safety Management, and Regulator Liaison.
Failures and weaknesses of Safety Management and Safety Management Systems are the underlying causes of most accidents.
“I believe that independent, challenging high level peer review, done from a position of pragmatic understanding of the pressures facing front-line staff, is one of the best defences against failures and complacency in Safety Management.”
High Integrity C&I
Technical lead on a major upgrade project.
Nuclear power stations make the greatest claims for the reliabilities of their C&I systems.
it is important that all reasonable measures are implemented to ensure they are fault-free in operation.
Formerly British Energy’s Electrical, Control and Instrumentation Manager.
Design and Development Manager on a major construction project.
