3 Outline Overview of ETPIS activities in 2011 Context of EU2020 Strategy and Horizon 2020 Perspectives for 2012

4 ETPIS activities in 2011 (since the last General Assembly, March 10 th, 2011 in Brussels)

5 Scope Industrial safety applies to installations, production & transport systems, buildings and structural components Occupational health & safety of the workers in industry Environmental safety prevention of major accidents with off-site consequences protection of the environment and the society ISSUE ORIENTED, MULTISECTORIAL BENEFICES

6 Buncefield, 11 De (UK) Scope Traditional industry to solve existing problems Innovation challenges TOTAL.COM CORDIS.LU HYSAFE.ORG, BMW TOTAL.COM

7 VISION adopted in 2005 By 2020, industrial safety performance shall have progressively improved by 25% (baseline year 2006) in terms of reduction of reportable accidents at work and occupational diseases, environmental incidents and accident related production losses. It will have developed an incident elimination culture where safety is embedded in design, maintenance, operation and management at all levels in enterprises. By 2020 there will be structured self regulated programmes in all major industry sectors which have firm, measurable performance targets for accident elimination equating to an annual reduction rate of 5% Accident free mind set workplaces will become the norm by 2020 This will contribute in a major way to sustainable growth for all industry in Europe and improvement of social welfare.

8 What is ETPIS? It is An instrument to pilot and defragment EU research investment in industrial safety (OHS, Process safety and environmental safety) Vision & Strategic Research Agenda 10 National TPIS CORDIS.LU Buncefield, 11 De (UK) HYSAFE.ORG, BMW An open forum with 600+ experts to share ideas, prepare future work & disseminate results Focus groups, Technical Wokshops & Conferences Education and Training A platform driven by industry High Level Group with representatives from Chemical, Oil, Car, Energy,Transport, Re-insurance and EU-OSHA

15 Context of EU2020 Strategy and Horizon 2020

16 EU Grand Challenges Lund declaration : European research must focus on the Grand Challenges of our time moving beyond current rigid thematic approaches. This calls for a new deal among European institutions and Member States, in which European and national instruments are well aligned and cooperation builds on transparency and trust. Identifying and responding to Grand Challenges should involve stakeholders from both public and private sectors in transparent processes taking into account the global dimension. Climate change Clean energy Sustainable transport Sustainable industrial production Aging population

17 EU2020 Strategy Europe 2020 is the EU's growth strategy for the coming decade. In a changing world, we want the EU to become a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy. These three mutually reinforcing priorities should help the EU and the Member States deliver high levels of employment, productivity and social cohesion. Concretely, the Union has set five ambitious objectives - on employment, innovation, education, social inclusion and climate/energy - to be reached by Each Member State has adopted its own national targets in each of these areas. Concrete actions at EU and national levels underpin the strategy. Priorities SMART GROWTH SUSTAINABLE GROWTH INCLUSIVE GROWTH ECONOMIC GOVERNANCE

18 The 5 targets for the EU Employment 75% of the year-olds to be employed 2. R&D / innovation 3% of the EU's GDP (public and private combined) to be invested in R&D/innovation 3. Climate change / energy greenhouse gas emissions 20% (or even 30%, if the conditions are right) lower than % of energy from renewables 20% increase in energy efficiency 4. Education Reducing school drop-out rates below 10% at least 40% of year-olds completing third level education 5. Poverty / social exclusion at least 20 million fewer people in or at risk of poverty and social exclusion

19 Smart growth Digital agenda for Europe Innovation Union Youth on the move Sustainable growth 7 flagship initiatives Resource efficient Europe In industrial policy for the globalization era Inclusive growth An agenda for new skills and jobs European platform against poverty

20 Resource efficient Europe The flagship initiative for a resource-efficient Europe under the Europe 2020 strategy supports the shift towards a resource-efficient, low-carbon economy to achieve sustainable growth. [ ] The flagship initiative for a resource-efficient Europe provides a long-term framework for actions in many policy areas, supporting policy agendas for climate change, energy, transport, industry, raw materials, agriculture, fisheries, biodiversity and regional development. This is to increase certainty for investment and innovation and to ensure that all relevant policies factor in resource efficiency in a balanced manner. Examples of key proposals: Energy 2020: A strategy for competitive, sustainable and secure energy Energy infrastructure priorities for 2020 and beyond A Blueprint for an integrated EU energy network Low-carbon economy 2050 roadmap European Energy Efficiency Plan 2020 Energy infrastructure package Energy Roadmap 2050 White Paper on the future of transport Roadmap for a resource-efficient Europe Security of energy supply and international cooperation Strategy for the sustainable competitiveness of the EU construction sector Action Plan towards a sustainable bio-based economy by 2020

21 Key aspects of Horizon 2020 The EU Framework Programme For Research and Innovation ( ) Commission proposal for a 80 billion euro research and innovation funding programme ( ) A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area: Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth Addressing peoples concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment. Strengthening the EU s global position in research, innovation and technology Link J. Smits presentation (3 priorities)

22 Perspectives for 2012

23 Industrial Safety in the new context Where is industrial safety in the new political and industrial context? What are the clients for industrial safety and the partners of ETPIS? Where to allocate the (research) efforts to improve industrial safety performance? ETPs have been effective instruments to pilot the R&D, now industrial safety needs a new vehicle

24 EU2020 Strategy adopted on June 17, 2010 by the EU Council A strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth SMART GROWTH INNOVATION EDUCATION SUSTAINABLE GROWTH CLIMATE, ENERGY AND MOBILITY COMPETITIVENESS NEW MODEL OF ORGANISATION INNOVATION ORIENTED & CLOSER TO THE INDUSTRY DEMAND

25 Political and industrial context requires a top-down approach Political context: Safety and security as part of the European industry sustainability and competitiveness Industrial context Economical crisis Globalization Demography Societal demand on sustainability Top down approach is needed: definition of priorities that will guarantee safety at an affordable cost that keep EU industry competitiveness

26 EU2020 Strategy Innovation & sustainable growth: embedded safety and emerging risk management for a competitive Europe addressing the EU Grand Challenges Smart growth Innovation / education Sustainable growth climate/energy/ mobility competitiveness Inclusive poverty EU Grand Challenges Embedded safety Emerging risk management Safe Innovation Sustainable growth

27 SafeFuture safety security sustainability Safety as a trade-mark of the technology made in EU Safe innovation for competitive and sustainable future Way to achieving (by 2020) a new safety paradigm for European industry. Safety as a key factor for successful business and an inherent element of business performance. Industrial safety performance progressively and measurably improved in terms of reduction of reportable accidents at work, occupational diseases, environmental incidents and accident-related production losses. Incident elimination and learning from failures cultures embedded in design, maintenance, operation at all levels in enterprises. Structured self-regulated safety programs in all major industry sectors in all European countries. Measurable performance targets for accident elimination and accident free mind set workplaces as the norm in Europe.

28 Perspectives ETPIS provides an effective forum to exchange ideas (technical workshops) SafeFuture should be the new vehicle to promote industrial safety in the new political and industrial context The content has to be prepared in partnership (PPP) to reach an effective implementation Von nichts kommt nichts! you have to invest if you expect some return
