Mark Gallagher
Former Grand Prix senior manager and Formula One analyst, Mark Gallagher, will deliver the third Trevor Kletz Memorial Lecture at Hazards 27 - Europe’s process safety conference. The conference takes place in Birmingham, UK from May 10-12, 2017 and is organized by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) in association with the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center.Mark has over 30 years experience in international motorsport, holding senior roles with the Jordan, Red Bull Racing and Cosworth Formula One teams. Mark has been a member and contributor to both Formula One's regulatory safety and technical working groups, responsible for striking the balance between commercial concerns, risk assessment and the safety of drivers, teams and spectators.
Mark will draw parallels between risk management in the very different worlds of motorsport and the process industries. He will offer insight on how personal, commercial and operational risk is managed in the high octane world of Formula One and the drivers that create a ‘safety-first’ business culture in a sport that is watched by millions of people worldwide.
The Hazards 27 program also features four keynote speakers including Shell’s downstream vice president with responsibility for health, safety, security and the environment, Sally Martin; Unilever’s European process safety manager, Malcolm Sarstedt; BASF process safety adviser, Chris Beale; and Marsh Energy’s London engineering hub leader, Jasper Clark.
Trevor Kletz was a regular contributor to the Hazards symposium series from its inception in 1960, and is widely regarded as the founding father of inherent safety, according to IchemE. Following his death in 2013, the Kletz Lecture was created in 2015 to preserve his legacy, and continue to develop best practice in process safety.
Kletz also contributed articles to Chemical Processing over the years, including:
