Travel Safety & Risk Management Seminar (an English Seminar)

• Hong Kong Association of Risk Management and Safety, HKARMS
• The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health, Hong Kong Branch, IOSH (HK)

Supported by
Industrial Centre, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Date, Time & Venue
Tuesday, 20 November 2007; 7:00pm – 8:30pm; Rm Y301, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Programme Highlights
How can companies manage minor and major risks when going global?
More Hong Kong enterprises are making forays overseas, focusing on expanding their global operations as they see increasing opportunities abroad. While going global, Hong Kong companies must anticipate and manage risks that are inherent in having a large workforce around the world. They must protect their most valuable asset — senior managers who are sent overseas with their families, as well as local employees.

Topics covered:
‧ Overseas medical and safety risks an individual faces (e.g. minor incident such as a traffic accident)
‧ Worldwide hot spots and key concerns (e.g. recent Myanmar civil unrest)
‧ Implementing a cross border Business Continuity Plan from your regional/worldwide Headquarters

Speaker
Tony RIDLEY, Regional Security Director, Asia Pacific, International SOS
Dr. Ahmed FAHMY, Medical Director, Hong Kong, International SOS

Seminar on Save Your Time and Trouble in Project Management Through Good Practices in Purchasing and Subletting

• The Mechanical, Marine, Naval Architecture and Chemical Division of Hong Kong Institution of Engineers HKIE-MMNC

Date, Time & Venue
5 October 2007 (Fri); 6:30pm - 8:00pm; HKIE

Programme Highlights
Commercial subjects like purchasing and subletting seem always to have been overlooked in the engineering training as it is considered that these are responsibilities of other professions. Many day-to-day problems in project management that project managers and engineers have to handle stem from poor purchasing and subletting, such as arguments on the demarcation of scope due to unclear terms, claims for additional items by suppliers/subcontractors, items not delivered on time causing project overrun. It is much better to avoid problems than to have resolved them. In order to assist you to avoid or at least to minimise these particular problems, the speaker will go through some good practices in purchasing and subletting that are too important not to know.

Speaker
Ir John W O Chan, a qualified quantity surveyor.

Registration & enquiries
This seminar is free of charge and prior registration is required. The number of participants is limited to 60 and applications will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis (MC Division members will be given a higher priority). Only on-line registration via the Division's website at http://www.hkie-mmnc.org/ will be accepted. Successful applicants will be notified before the event.

A Risk-Based Framework to Prioritise Safety Improvement Alternatives

Download: A Risk-Based Framework to Prioritise Safety Improvement Alternatives

Organized by

• The Safety Specialist Committee of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, HKIE-SSC
• Hong Kong Association of Risk Management and Safety

Date, Time & Venue
Friday, 13 April 2007, 7 pm to 8:15 pm, immediately following the SSC AGM
Seminar Room, HKIE Headquarters, 9/F Island Beverly, No. 1 Great George Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

Programme Highlights
With limited funding, decision-makers often face the dilemma of selecting an optimal decision from a set of sound alternatives. They are faced with choosing the most cost/risk-effective safety improvement options from a large list of alternatives with funding limitations. They must also consider several implementation options along with the potential impact to the community.

The Speaker presents a risk-based decision technique that combines the advantages of two decision making theories to prioritize decision alternatives based on a set of risk-based evaluation criteria and a formal cost/risk/benefit analysis structure. To further aid the decision-maker, this risk-based prioritization process can be automated into a decision analysis software. It has been found to be an effective decision-making tool to aid in the prioritization of over 150 decision alternatives in a real commercial case where multiple attributes were involved.

Speaker
Ir Dr. Vincent Ho, Immediate Past Chairman, SSC

- The Nuclear Division of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, HKIE-NE
- Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (Hong Kong Branch), IOSH (Hong Kong)

Date, Time & Venue

Programme Highlights
As safety management aims to safeguard the well being of people, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) aims to enhance the sustainability of organizations. ERM is a process used in the planning, organizing, leading, and controlling of risks related to business activities at the enterprise level. By identifying and proactively treating enterprise risks, organizations minimize the risk exposure on their capitals, resources, investment and earnings, as well as external effects on society, markets or the environment.

ERM is a new and evolving discipline using the risk methodologies commonly found in safety and financial risk management but extended to address the full spectrum of business activities including the consideration of risks associated with financial, strategic, operational, political, image, and other factors affecting the sustainability of an organization. The Seminar aims to introduce the concept and process of ERM to engineers and safety practitioners, as well as sharing the experience and challenges amongst ERM specialists in today's major organizations. Sponsored by PSDAS (ref. 2005-2-12), the Seminar is organised by HKARMS in collaboration with HKIE-SSC, HKIE-MC, HKIE-NE, and IOSH (Hong Kong).

Speaker
Distinguished speakers include: Dr. Ed Tse of Bo ozAllen & Hamilton, Dr. Vincent Ho of KCRC, Mr. Victor Kwong of Towngas, Mr. Ivan Lai of MTRCL, and Mr. Ernest To of Asia Risk. Seminar programme and information on speakers are as follows:
