Safety on the Edge returns on 5 – 6 May in Baltimore, bringing together safety leaders, researchers, and operational executives to explore the future of risk management, leadership, and safety performance.
The global forum creates space for open discussion around some of the most important questions facing the profession today – from how organisations measure safety performance to how leaders influence the prevention of serious injuries and fatalities.
As an Associate of the event, Shirley Parsons will be attending and engaging with peers from across industry. The team attending includes Abby Amundson, Division Leader, US East; Tim Melvin, Managing Director, North America; Kieran Carr, Associate Director and Liam Tiddy, Head of Practice.
Addressing the evolving safety landscape.
As organisations navigate advances in engineering, automation, and artificial intelligence, the way risk is understood and managed continues to evolve. Safety on the Edge focuses on how organisations can strengthen their approach to managing serious risk while improving operational performance.
The forum focuses on several areas shaping the future of safety leadership and operational performance, including:
- Reframing safety measurement, moving beyond traditional frequency metrics to better understand severity, exposure, and control integrity
- Operationalising Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) by translating principles into measurable behaviours at the frontline
- Strengthening leadership visibility and accountability in the management of serious risk
- Understanding the impact of AI, automation, and advanced technologies on risk management and decision-making
- Exploring the relationship between risk culture and safety culture, particularly how decisions are made under operational pressure
Through interactive workshops, structured debates, and expert-led sessions, the event provides practical insights into how organisations can strengthen the systems that control serious risk.
Abby will also play a role at the event as a host, helping guide discussions and sessions throughout the programme. She says:
“Safety leaders today are operating in increasingly complex environments, where traditional ways of measuring performance don’t always capture the full picture. Safety on the Edge brings together leaders who are willing to challenge established thinking, share experiences, and explore how organisations can strengthen the systems that prevent serious injuries and fatalities.”
