Process Safety

Process safety focuses on preventing low-likelihood, high-consequence incidents that can significantly impact people, assets, and the environment. It is a critical discipline within the electricity sector, requiring a structured and consistent approach across industry.

Purpose of the Knowledge Network 

The Process Safety Knowledge Network aims to strengthen the understanding and management of process safety risks across the electricity generation industry. The group collaborates to develop and share practical approaches for managing critical controls that both prevent major incidents and reduce their potential consequences.

Scope and Participation

The group brings together representatives from electricity organisations across Australia and New Zealand. Members contribute industry expertise, share learnings, and support the development of aligned methodologies and good practice guidance.

Status of the Guidance

A Guideline for the Development of Major Incident Bowtie Diagrams has been developed and published. This guidance reflects a collaborative effort across StayLive members and establishes a consistent industry approach aligned with international good practice.

Process Safety Awareness online training module is available as a generic introductory resource for the electricity generation industry.
