The 2026 edition of the International Process Safety Conference is built around a transformative theme “Process Safety 5.0: Intelligence. Integrity. Impact.” As the Indian energy and process sectors evolve in response to digital disruption, climate goals, and operational complexity, this theme signals a bold shift: from reactive frameworks to proactive, intelligence-driven safety ecosystems.
Process Safety 5.0 is about integrating data intelligence, leadership integrity, and societal impact into a cohesive approach that redefines safety excellence. It acknowledges that legacy compliance models can no longer keep pace with emerging hazards—whether from hydrogen fuels, aging assets, cyber-physical threats, or human factors.
In this new era, real-time risk visibility, barrier health monitoring, and AI-augmented decision-making must become embedded into daily operations. But technology alone is not enough. A high-trust, safety-driven culture—anchored in leadership accountability, crossfunctional collaboration, and frontline empowerment—is what delivers lasting impact.
The theme also reflects the growing alignment of process safety with ESG, sustainability, and industrial resilience. For CXOs and policymakers, this is no longer an operational concern—it is a boardroom agenda with national and global implications.
Process Safety 5.0 invites us to lead decisively, invest boldly, and act responsibly—because in today’s interconnected world, safety is not just about avoiding incidents; it's about creating systems that prevent them by design.
