Webinar Rethinking Risk with the Energy Damage Model - Viner
About
Presented by its creator, Adjunct Professor Derek Viner (Retired).Looking for a simple, practical and real-world way of identifying the potential for catastrophic injury or damage?
Join us for an exclusive webinar featuring Derek Viner, the pioneer behind the Energy Damage Model (EDM). Discover how a simple shift of your focus to the objective physics of destructive energy can revolutionise your organisation's safety and risk management strategy.
Why the Energy Damage Model Matters
Traditional risk management often treats “accidents" as random and unpredictable strokes of bad luck. The Energy Damage Model is based on a simple and undeniable truth, that damage only occurs when energy is transferred to a structure or person in a way that exceeds their threshold of resistance. The model exposes the workings of energy damage in the simplest possible manner. Understanding it is not complicated and it dramatically expands your predictive ability. As one experienced safety engineer, the late PK Roy, said: “this is a safety goldmine."
By understanding the types of energy at play—whether kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical etc.—and how the EDM applies to them, you can conceive of a demonstrably comprehensive suite of control measures.
What You Will Learn - In this Masterclass session, Derek Viner will personally walk you through:
The Core Philosophy: Why treating risk as a function of "energy space" is more focussed and effective than common methods based on imagination or experience
The Mechanism of Harm: Predict the possible processes of damage associated with potentially damaging energy sources
Defensive Design: Identify and assess the efficacy of comprehensive design and operating system risk control measures, beyond reliance on Standards.
Real-World Case Studies: Practical examples of how major industries have drastically reduced incidents using this model.
"If you want to control the outcome, you must control the energy."
