Panel Presentation - Process Safety Future for Latin America

As the Latin American economies grow at an accelerated pace, the oil & gas, petrochemical, and process industries in general have experienced a notable expansion across the region. Large amounts of public and private capital has been invested in the expansion of facilities, the development of new technologies and industrial sectors. Based on their long industrial past, the Latin American economies are now taking center stage in the world arena. The growth strategies implemented today will guarantee their sustained presence in the coming decades. The safe operation of these facilities is at the core of the company values and the expectations from the surrounding communities, and it is part of the sustainable development mindset currently accepted around the world. The challenge of turning these concepts into reality is the direct responsibility of the process safety professionals and their management teams, as well as each and everyone involved in the daily operation of these facilities. Join us for a lively discussion with representatives from local and international companies, process safety advocates, and regulators. We’ll discuss the role process safety currently plays in this industrial growth, the culture inside the companies, the awareness of the local governments and regulators, and the perception of the communities living around industrial areas.
