CCPS Conducts Process Safety Bootcamp in Singapore for the First Time

April 9, 2013

CCPS conducted a Process Safety Boot Camp in Singapore on March 17-20, 2013 for the Petrochemical Corporation of Singapore (Private) Limited (PCS). Louisa Nara and John Murphy served as instructors for this very successful training.

The first half day of the training was attended by PCS executive management including Mr Akira Yonemura, Managing Director, Mr Liew Jian Sheng, Deputy Managing Director, Mr Lucas Ng HK, General Manager (Plant).  Mr Bernard Leong LW, Health Safety & Environment Manager, was responsible for organizing the course and promoting discussion between the instructors and participants. He did an excellent job.



Mr Akira Yonemura, Managing Director kicked off the Boot Camp with a presentation strongly supporting the importance on process safety management to the success of the company. 

"This is an eye opener for me and enriched my knowledge into extended horizon on process safety management."

Participants were very engaged and enthusiastically asked questions and participated in the discussions and workshop exercises.

Mr. Luca Ng HK, General Manager (Plant), wrapped up the course thanking CCPS and the instructors and encouraged the participants to use the process safety knowledge gained from the training to improve process safety on their jobs. Since the course PCS management has conducted a gap analysis and has developed plans to improve the company’s process safety management programs.
