State of Process Safety 2026: Risks, Results, Readiness

Jan 22, 2026 Webinar

Thursday, January 22nd, 2026 - 10:00 AM (ET)

In a year defined by regulatory acceleration, aging assets, workforce shifts, and the energy transition, senior leaders need interpretation—not more information. State of Process Safety 2026: Risks, Results, Readiness brings together a global panel of DEKRA and CCPS leaders to connect boardroom priorities with field realities.

Mike Snyder will unpack the North American lens—how insurance and code influence manufacturing and the energy transition. Paulo Oliveira will cover Europe’s evolving landscape—Seveso/ATEX changes, hydrogen scale-up, and sustainability-driven PS reforms. Shakeel Kadri will share global benchmarks, RBPS maturity trends, and where PSM is heading next. Facilitated by Angelica Grindle, the discussion weaves organizational reliability, human factors, and an expanded view of serious injuries and fatalities that includes process safety risks.

In 55 minutes, we’ll frame why 2026 feels different, spotlight five global systemic shifts, scan a 2026 regulation & policy watchlist, and show how to move from activity to impact with practical risk-alignment methods. Leave with clarity on where to focus, how to measure what matters, and what to do first.

Key Learnings:

What to watch in 2026: The 5 systemic global shifts increasing catastrophic risk—and how to focus PS resources accordingly.
How to shift from activity to impact: Techniques for translating audits, PHAs, DHAs, and test data into a ranked, finance-ready risk register tied to SIF potential and barrier strength.
The 2026 Executive PS Dashboard: Strategies for developing “Metrics that Matter” to help leaders identify emerging areas of risk exposure and operational drift before major accidents happen.
Transatlantic insight: How policy, enforcement, and corporate expectations differ—and converge—across the US, UK, and EU.
