Safety Expert Talks
What is Safety Expert Talks ?
Safety Expert Talks is a series of video based lectures by Experts from
the Safety and Risk Engineering domain.
These experts have an industry experience ranging from 15 – 35 years
across the world spanning various sectors. Through their lectures they convey
critical concepts and the learning from various cases studies experienced as
part of their work. They are rich in in-depth discussions on a wide variety of
subjects on safety practices including risk management and mitigation measures.
