We have access, through our Centre of Excellence, to global experts in the United Kingdom (process safety and hazard management) and the United States (chemical and environmental engineering).
Graham Dalzell (TBS Cubed, Committee of PFEER)
Graham is a fire and safety engineer with more than 30 years experience, most of it associated with the oil and gas industry. In 1985, he joined BP in Aberdeen as their fire protection engineer, upgrading the firefighting systems on BP's North Sea platforms, following the Forties Delta shallow gas blowout. In 1989, he gave technical evidence at the Piper Alpha Inquiry and helped to shape the subsequent regulations and guidance. He participated in the joint industry fire research projects, giving him particular knowledge of the combustion characteristics of crude oil and gas and the effectiveness of protection systems.
In recent years he has adapted the UK safety case approach process into practical holistic major hazard management systems for other countries and has contributed to the development of their goal setting regulations.
He is a champion of inherently safer design and its application to the offshore industry. He is pragmatic, believing that every engineer, technician, operator and manager should be involved in understanding and management of hazards, rather than it being a specialised black art.
Graham's extensive experience, both on and offshore, covers hydrocarbon facilities in eight countries including more than 55 platforms, terminals, refineries, drilling rigs and platforms in artctic, temperate and tropical conditions. He has presented more than 25 papers and journal articles, and believes passionately in his work.
Danny Reible (Hazardous Sustance Research Center, University of Texas, Louisiana State University affiliations) Dr Reible is the Bettie Margaret Smith Chair of Environmental Health Engineering at the University of Texas, and Director of the EPA-supported Hazardous Substance Research Center/South & Southwest, a consortium of Louisiana State University, Rice University, Texas A&M, Georgia Tech and the University of Texas. He joined the University of Texas in 2004 after 23 years with Louisiana State University.
Dr Reible leads both fundamental and applied efforts in the assessment and management of risks of hazardous substances, especially as they apply to contaminated sediments. He has authored or edited four books and more than 100 refereed publications. Dr Reible has led the development of in situ sediment capping and currently leads a large demonstration of active capping technologies in the Anacostia River in Washington DC.
Dr Reible was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2005. He is a Professional Engineer (LA) and a Diplomate of the American Academy of Environmental Engineering. He is a member of the National Research Council Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology.
