Acmena Principal Consultant and Head of Discipline for Safety Assurance, Campbell Sims, has been selected to present at the 2025 Australian System Safety Conference.
Held the Rendezvous Hotel, Melbourne on 15-16 October, the conference will focus on experiences and advancements in critical computer systems.
“I am really looking forward to presenting at the conference,” Campbell said. “The ASSC always provides interesting insight into the domain of safety engineering and its application in different industries”
Titled, ‘Control in Name Only: Investigating the Ineffectiveness of Hazard Mitigation’ Campbell’s presentation examines some of the reasons why controls can sometimes be ineffective.
“It is sometimes inferred that there are no dangerous hazards, only ineffective controls. My presentation aims to provide some insight into the reasons why control measures do not always work as intended, based on my own personal experience in the fields of design, project and safety engineering over the past 20 years.”
Featuring speakers from a diverse range of industries, including healthcare, defence, aviation, space, security and rail, the 2025 conference promises to deliver the latest research, development, and practical experiences related to the design, implementation, and evaluation of computer systems where failure can have significant consequences.
