Horizonte Minerals PLC: Appointment of Head of Projects

Chemist whose father survived oil rig disaster inspired to swap slides for VR safety training

By Katrina Krämer2021-03-01T14:30:00+00:00 Virtual reality could convert safety training from what can sometimes be a box-ticking exercise into something people are invested in, which ultimately might make working in chemical plants safer. Accidents both in research labs and in chemical manufacturing plants can have drastic – and often deadly – consequences. Only two months ago, one person died and three were injured in an explosion at US chemicals maker Optima. The Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters lists 165 chemical spills and gas leaks since 1940, killing 4000 people – 2000 alone in the largest chemical disaster ever recorded in Bhopal, India, in 1984. Often, accidents are a result of poor site maintenance and substandard safety culture.

COVID-19 vaccines - Your questions answered

Event description Hosted by Michael Rowland, this Q&A event will see our experts tackle your questions around the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Australia. About this Event What is mRNA? Why are there two vaccines on offer? What’s the difference? What does herd immunity mean? How long will the rollout take? Are the vaccines safe? As Australia begins to rollout the COVID-19 vaccine, we are faced with an abundance of new information, technical terminology, and vaccine myths and misinformation. It can quickly become confusing and overwhelming. The Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity has been at the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic response – clinicians treating patients in hospitals; scientists continuing to perform tests on suspected cases and viral genomic sequencing; epidemiologists working closely with the State and Commonwealth Governments on policy; and researchers working on antibody tests, treatments and a vaccine.
