May 22, 2024 to May 23, 2024
Hyatt Regency St. Louis – St. Louis, Missouri
The 2024 API/AFPM Spring Operating Practices Symposium (OPS), which is jointly sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) is a uniquely important event where various technical presentations are made highlighting the lessons learned from facility incidents or near misses and discussions on accident avoidance in refineries and petrochemical plants.
The OPS also provides a forum for the exchange of information on safe operating practices and procedures and sharing of “best practices” within refineries and petrochemical plants.
The OPS is held twice a year (spring and fall) – do not miss this opportunity to obtain information, first-hand, that is essential to enhancing your site’s safety performance and your company’s overall success.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Operating Practices Symposium is open ONLY to Refining and Petrochemical Operating Companies.
Those who benefit most from attending the OPS include refinery vice presidents, refinery managers, operations managers and their representatives from refining/petrochemical companies. Others who will find great value by participating are managers responsible for plant operations and maintenance – as well as operational excellence and “best practice” team leaders and PSM/safety experts.
The API Operating Practices Advisory Group (OPAG) invites you to attend the Operating Practices “Roundtable” which will focus on Human & Organizational Performance (HOP). The Roundtable is a forum for sharing safety and operating practices and engaging in dialogue and collaboration with other industry participants on HOP and Organizational Learning.
This HOP roundtable session will cover the following topics:
