Topic 1: Bridging the Gap: Turning Corporate Sustainability Commitments into Site-Level Reality

Sustainability isn't a new concept-but the stakes and standards have changed. This session moves beyond the “What” and “Why” of sustainability to tackle the “How”. We will explore the considerations and practicalities of integrating sustainability into site- level operations, turning corporate-level commitments into actionable goals that actually make sense in the field.

Topic 2: Understanding Passive Fire Protection

Nobody wants to be caught in a building fire event, but it can happen, to anyone, at anytime. In 2024, there were 1,383 building fires in Singapore with 80 injuries and 5 fatalities.  When a fire occurs, a building’s fire protection system is vital to control and eventually stop the effects of the fire with the ultimate goal of saving lives and protecting assets. Proper compartmentation and effective active and passive fire protection systems, good building design with quick, practical means of escape and effective fire safety measures are the critical elements for safety of occupants and protection of assets. These design and practical elements give peace of mind to the building owners as well as the users of any building. 

There are basically two types of fire protection systems which every building needs for effective fire protection capabilities: active and passive systems. These systems work together to help supress, contain, and reduce the threats arising from a fire (eg, flame, heat and smoke), giving building occupants time to evacuate safely, protect assets and allow rescue and fire suppression operations to be carried out.

The design of fire protection systems for a building must be taken into account at all stages, from design concept, construction, installation, and handover and also in operation and maintenance during the building’s lifetime. Whilst designing for fire protection systems, designers must comply with regulatory compliance requirements and take consideration of the practical aspects of the design, installation and future requirements whilst being aware of the sustainability of the solutions for a safer and green environment. 

In this talk, Terrence will delve into the means of effective and compliant passive fire protection which protect and seal opening in fire-rated building elements to ensure that compartmentation is effectively maintained during a fire event.

Topic 1: CFD Consequence Analysis: Sharing of Realistic Applications

The conduct of utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is often presented with realistic 3D graphs and pictures and is based on state-of-the art modelling algorithms to generate results. Behind the simulations lie a workflow unique to each application intent and also challenges and limitations. Whether it is Fire, Explosion, Dispersion or Response simulations, effective workflow considerations provide optimum cost allocation, time savings, and generate results and data that fulfil the intended purpose.

Managing opportunity and risk is a dynamic and balanced process in managing plant safety. The ability of utilizing right tools and visualizing risk exposure is crucial in such decision making, hence through this workshop the speaker will touch upon the following key topics:

Understanding significance of various risk values (voluntary vs involuntary)

Identifying right scenarios for QRA process

Comparing differences in 2D integral and 3D CFD based consequence modelling

Selecting appropriate engineering solutions for better design and safer operation (through demonstration of Hydrogen project)

Topic 1: Process Safety: The Learning Curve from Operations to Consulting

This webinar explores the development of process safety understanding through a bottom-up perspective shaped by hands-on operational experience and subsequent consulting exposure. The session begins with a personal introduction to illustrate how practical, on-site experiences form the foundation of meaningful process safety awareness. A short pre-sharing activity will engage participants early, prompting reflection on their own understanding and assumptions about process safety.

The introduction will highlights the critical importance of process safety awareness across all organizational levels, framed within the widely recognized 14 elements of process safety management. The sharing will particularly emphasis on below mentioned point: 

- process knowledge management 

- process safety culture 

These elements are foundational enablers for the workforce in the area of effective risk recognition and control in complex process industries.

The sharing will firstly cover the key challenges in process safety knowledge transfer within organisation. The major points will be as per listed:   

- Gaps arising from differing baseline competencies among operational personnel.

- Limitations of conventional company-led safety programs that are often instructional rather than educational, 

- Restricted access to essential safety information due to confidentiality constraints. 

Additionally, will be sharing personal experience on regards to these mentions points as transiting through the difference changes in roles through the career.

The sharing will concludes on the final point by examining the growing need to bridge the learning curve in process safety. This is especially important with the industries adopt novel and emerging technologies driven by decarbonization and energy transition initiatives. 

Points of interest on this topic are as per listed: 

- Practical approaches are shared to enhance learning effectiveness

- Challenge traditional role-based mindsets.

- Foster analytical, consulting-oriented thinking that enables professionals to proactively advise, influence, and manage process safety risks.

At the end of the webinar, will open of question and answer selections for the participate on their question and view.

Topic 2: The S in ESG - Making Workplace Safety Visible in Sustainability Reporting

As sustainability reporting transitions from voluntary disclosure to mandatory assurance under frameworks like ISSB (IFRS S1/S2) and evolving SGX regulations, the "Social" dimension—particularly Workplace Safety and Health (WSH)—remains underdeveloped compared to climate-related financial disclosures. This technical session addresses the methodological challenges of integrating WSH performance into sustainability reports with the same rigour applied to carbon accounting.

Drawing on Dr Li's experience as a Sustainability Report Assurer (SRA) and Lead Auditor for ISO 45001 and 14001, we will examine:

• Materiality Assessment Integration: How to conduct double materiality assessments that capture both financial materiality (impact of WSH incidents on enterprise value) and impact materiality (organisational impact on worker safety) in accordance with GRI 3 and ISSB guidance.

• Beyond Lagging Indicators: Moving beyond traditional metrics (LTIFR, TRIR) to include leading indicators—safety training completion rates, near-miss reporting frequencies, safety culture survey results, and preventive action closure times—and how to validate these for external assurance.

• Alignment with Reporting Frameworks: Technical mapping of WSH data to specific disclosure requirements under GRI 403 (Occupational Health and Safety), SASB industry-specific metrics (e.g., for semiconductor, oil & gas sectors), and TCFD recommendations where physical climate risks intersect with worker safety.

• Data Quality and Assurance Readiness: Building internal controls for WSH data collection to withstand limited/moderate assurance engagements. This includes audit trails, data lineage documentation, and reconciliation between operational safety records and reported sustainability disclosures.

• Case Example - Semiconductor Sector: Practical demonstration of how a fab's WSH data (chemical exposure monitoring, equipment safety compliance, emergency response drill frequencies) can be translated into ESG metrics that satisfy both investor expectations and regulatory requirements under Singapore's Carbon Pricing Act reporting interfaces.

• Governance and Accountability: Structuring management oversight, board-level safety committees, and internal audit functions to provide effective surveillance of reported WSH performance, referencing ISO 45001 Clause 9 (Performance Evaluation) and ISO 14001 Clause 9 linkages.
