Powering Up Fire Safety Standards!

On 21 April 2026, the Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) Engineering Technical Committee of The Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) hit a major milestone! We successfully hosted a powerhouse seminar diving into the Key Amendments to Fire Code 2023, specifically covering the critical 5th Batch of Amendments (March 2026).

The energy was electric as we welcomed a full house of nearly 400 industry practitioners, all gathered to stay at the absolute forefront of fire safety excellence.

Vision Zero: Process Safety and Lessons Learned from the Hong Kong Building Fire Incident
Jointly organised by Chemical & Process Engineering
Technical Committee and Health & Safety Engineering Technical Committee

 
This joint seminar brings together industry leaders, regulators, and safety professionals to explore Vision Zero in Process Safety, drawing critical lessons from the recent Hong Kong building fire incident. As urban environments grow more complex and interconnected, the boundaries between industrial, commercial, and residential risks are increasingly blurred. Through a series of expert presentations, the seminar will examine the full spectrum of process safety—from regulatory frameworks, risk assessment methodologies, and engineering controls, to emergency response, human factors, and safety culture.

Date: 15 May 2026 (Friday)
Time: 9.00am to 5.00pm
Venue: voco Orchard Singapore
