Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a requirement for engineers registered with most professional organisations. Attending SCSC Seminars, participating in SCSC Working Groups or even just reading publications on the SCSC website may help you demonstrate CPD. See this article in the Community Space for more information.
The SCSC is creating a new publication, "The Safety Critical Systems eJournal" for high-quality technical articles on any area of systems safety. This will be published twice a year via the SCSC web site, with a compilation hardcopy available on Amazon annually.
The focus of the journal will be on safety practice, industrial applications and standards/guidance. The editor is John Spriggs, a long-time supporter of the club and respected author and presenter.
Please consider submitting an article on your work. Submission details to be announced soon. There will also be length guidelines and style guides issued shortly.
The 29th Safety-Critical Systems Symposium was held from 9 - 11 February as an online event. The event attracted 200 delegates to view 16 live presentation and 12 pre-recorded presentations. The recordings of all presentations and the papers from the published proceedings are now available for Club members to view on the Catch up page.
We are seeking feedback on an organisation’s experience of assessing and improving Safety Culture. We have produced a short questionnaire: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/SCWGsurvey and would ask you to spare a few minutes to complete it.
The aim of the survey is to help organisations understand how to assess and improve Safety Culture. We will be analysing responses and will share findings anonymously through the website.
Thank you in advance for your time and help,
The SCSC Safety Culture Working Group
