The Hazardex 2020 Conference and Exhibition

When: 26th & 27th February 2020

Where: Majestic Hotel, Ripon Road, Harrogate,UK

With a theme of cross-industry peer-to-peer knowledge sharing at the next event, speakers will include senior figures from HSE, NTB (notified bodies), major utilities companies, employer/owner operators from the high hazard industries and world leading consultants with others agreed in principle, to be announced in the Autumn of 2019.

For nearly 20 years, Hazardex has been providing key industry information and topical discussion on process safety-related topics. The annual Conference and Exhibition brings together those with hazardous area and wider safety responsibilities to review best practice and the latest research in those areas key to managing process safety effectively.
