The Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) successfully concluded our recent seminar, “Vision Zero: Process Safety and Lessons Learned from the Hong Kong Building Fire Incident” on 15 May 2026. Jointly organised by the Chemical & Process Engineering Technical Committee (CAPETC) and the Health and Safety Engineering Technical Committee (HSETC), the event was proudly supported by Nextgen Engineering Works Pte Ltd.

The seminar brought together engineers, regulators, safety professionals, and industry leaders for a timely discussion on applying robust process safety principles beyond chemical plants – extending them to buildings, urban systems, and emerging risk areas.

Through expert presentations and dynamic panel discussions, participants explored critical themes shaping Singapore’s industrial ecosystem:
=> Regulatory frameworks and risk assessment
=> Engineering controls and emergency preparedness
=> Human factors and cultivating a proactive safety culture
=> Mitigating lithium-ion battery hazards and driving continuous improvement
