TRANSVERSAL 4: From Life-Saving to Climate-Saving Rules: Applying the Safety Playbook to Decarbonisation
For decades, the energy sector has reduced fatalities through life-saving rules, barrier management, and strong safety governance. As decarbonisation accelerates, similar discipline is required to manage emerging risks associated with hydrogen, CCS, electrification, and methane reduction programs. This session explores how proven safety frameworks can be adapted to climate risk establishing “climate-critical controls,” accountability models, and verification mechanisms. The discussion will bridge sustainability ambition with operational rigor, ensuring that decarbonisation initiatives are delivered with the same systematic excellence applied to personal and process safety.
