speaking well understood by the technology community, but less so by the wider
business - and are essentially reactive, dealing with impact and consequence
management of a shock to an organisation.
This presentation addresses the nature of resilience in organisations, discusses
the factors which both weaken and strengthen it and identifies many of the measures
which, sensibly applied, will significantly enhance the ability of a business
or other enterprise to deal with unexpected shocks without massive investment.
It will also address some of the issues around contingency planning and suggest
a sensible, pragmatic and simple approach to this complex subject. The presentation
is based on Arup corporate experience in delivering this consultancy to large
commercial and governmental organisations."

Are You Open to Change? "Introducing... ITEM QTR"
Date, Time & Venue
22 May 2008 (Thursday) 7:00pm to 8:30pm
Rm N001, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Programme Highlights
The latest release from ITEM Software
is an extraordinary collection of new capabilities that provides a customizable,
cross-platform, multi-user, open frame-work. Built on proven and recognized
analysis engines from ITEM Q RAS and T oolkit,
ITEM QTR ( iQTR ) is a revolutionary approach to reliability,
safety, and risk analysis software tools.
iQT product is a highly extensible framework that provides common infrastructure for any kind of system modeling. With iQT , you are no longer limited by the technology choices of software vendors or chained to infrastructure requirements of their products. All iQT modules are provided as extensions to the current platform in the form of plug-ins. All extensions are highly modular. By allowing capabilities to be added to or removed from the software without affecting other extensions, new functionality, such as a new prediction standard, can be added without requiring reconfiguration or redesign of the source code.
iQT delivers true cross-platform capabilities through its Java-based framework and analysis engines. Whether installed as a standalone or client-server configuration , iQT supports the analysis processing on either the local computer or the server.
The iQT framework provides the capability for multiple users to simultaneously, yet independently modify any model or analysis in any project they have access to. Users can checkout and work independently on their local copies of the “project”, and commit their changes back to the central repository. Parts of the model or project can also be locked in the repository to prevent multiple people working on it at the same time. The use of the source control system, in combination with the system hierarchy within iQT , allows for a “library” function in which changes in the master library can be applied to models relying on those libraries. This allows users to update the library incorporated in a project in an automated fashion.
XML format is used as the standard iQT storage format. The use of XML automatically results in an “open standard”, allowing users and other applications to make changes to the model outside of iQT. This flexibility opens the door for a wide range of application integration and ease of capturing data directly from the iQT project files.
Certificate will be issued to participants upon completion of the Seminar.
Speaker
Dr Dongfeng Zhu is Director of Research and Development
at ITEM Software Inc . Dr. Zhu got his PhD from University of Maryland on 2005.
His research interests lie in the area of Probabilistic Risk Assessment, Risk

Occupational Safety and Health Seminar on Safety Culture in the Transport Industry – A Western Australian Journey
Download: Safety Culture in the Transport Industry - A Western Australian Journey
Date, Time & Venue
28 May 2008 (Wednesday) 7:00pm to 8:30pm
Rm N001, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Programme Highlights
Safety Culture in the Transport Industry
A Western Australian Journey
The speaker will share her experience in changing the safety culture of an organisation.
Culture change in the Australia railways in particular has been stimulated by
catastrophic accidents in recent years, such as the 2003 Waterfall train derailment,
which claimed 7 lives and injured dozens more. In Western Australia, the challenge
of improving safety culture has been heightened by the rapid expansion of the
public transport network as well as labour shortages due to a state-wide mining
boom.
PTA is currently 3 years into a 10 year cultural change program, which has already seen the introduction of human factors and just culture approaches to safety management; integration of the Health, Safety & Environmental Management Systems; and changes to investigation techniques, return to work programs and the internal ‘marketing’ of safety.
The speaker will describe the journey her organisation has taken thus far and its path for the future, while providing insight into key learning that can benefit all organisations aiming to engage both the hearts and minds of their workforce in safety. Certificate will be issued to participants upon completion of the Seminar.
Speaker
Catherine Wallace is Australia's 2007
Young Transport & Logistics Professional of the Year. Catherine is the Occupational
Safety & Health Manager for Western Australia's Public Transport Authority
(PTA), which is responsible for the infrastructure and operation of trains,
buses and ferries in the state. She joined the PTA in 2004, having previously
worked for the State Government Minister for Planning in Melbourne. Catherine
is the Vice-Chair of the Western Australian chapter of Accelerate – a young
professionals’ network affiliated with the Chartered Institute of Transport
& Logistics; as well as a member of Australia's Industrial Foundation for
Accident Prevention. She is currently completing a Masters degree in Human Factors
and Safety Management Systems.

Date, Time & Venue
18:30 on 21st April, 2008 (Monday)
HKIE HQ
Programme Highlights
Bayes' Theorem is the central tool used in processing
conditional probability. In the QRA world, the Bayes' Theorem is used as a mathematical
formalisation of the process of learning from experience by saying that one’s
posterior belief of a risk value is directly proportional to ones initial belief
of the value based on the body of evidence available. Indeed, many have been
saying that the Bayes' Theorem is the fundamental theory of modern risk analysis.
In this seminar, the Speaker will introduce the Bayes' Theorem and its application
in QRA.

Dr. Vincent Ho is past Chairman of HKIE-SSC and the Chairman
of the Hong Kong Association of Risk Management and Safety
