What do people understand by Reliability – how does it relate to their own work?
“Reliability” is a word frequently used but – what is meant by it? Is it just a sub-set of maintenance? Can it be measured in a way that is relevant to my particular industry and if so, how?

Surgical robots find increasing uses as surgeons demand more accuracy but with smaller incisions. First generation robots were large machines based on industrial arms. Numbers of these are still in daily clinical use. Today’s second generation robots are hand-sized. They are bespoke designs for specific tasks. They allow new procedures that are not practicable by hand and eye.
New sensors, real time imaging and miniature mechanisms offer even more uses for surgical robots. Tiny tools under image-guidance can place cochlear implants to treat profound deafness. Snake manipulators can navigate to disease sites within the abdomen without leaving scars. Micro-scale technology is being used to design swimming and crawling robots. These can move freely within body cavities. Examples of all these devices are undergoing laboratory trials.

Dangerous substances can put peoples’ safety at risk from fire and explosion. DSEAR puts duties on employers and the self-employed to protect people from risks to their safety from fires, explosions and similar events in the workplace, this includes members of the public who may be put at risk by work activity.
This seminar will look at how industry is reacting to 2002-DSEAR regulations; and the requirements of operators to avoid ignition sources, these need effort to achieve compliance, maintaining compliance, but has this benefited safe operations.
Headline incidents at Buncefield, Conoco, Texas City show the damage that can be done when hydrocarbon releases ignite; and provide the media with real-life footage that can be damaging to industry.
The programme will promote the sharing of best practices through discussions and case studies; and provide an interpretation of regulations for good working practice.
