Supporting Industry Innovation
Lowen Glas was delighted to sponsor and support the Arc Guard Substation & Switchgear Conference, held at the Union Jack Club in London. The event brought together industry professionals for a valuable day of insight, collaboration, and discussion.
Attendees explored the latest developments in innovative technologies, as well as digital health and safety platforms that are helping to shape the future of the sector.
Focus on Emergency Readiness
A strong theme throughout the conference was emergency readiness and the importance of robust, practical safety strategies. Presentations and discussions emphasised how organisations can better prepare for high-risk situations while integrating modern tools and systems.
Keynote Highlight: Human Factors in Risk Assessment
One of the standout sessions of the day was:
“Beyond the Checklist – Human Factors in Static and Dynamic Risk Assessment”
This was delivered by Ian O’Grady, a winchman paramedic on an air-sea rescue helicopter. His presentation offered a compelling perspective on the critical role of human factors in safety.
He highlighted how, even with advanced systems in place, it is ultimately human judgement, awareness, and decision-making that bridge the gap between procedures and successful outcomes.
Engaging Discussions and Industry Insights
The event concluded with an engaging panel discussion, which sparked lively debate among attendees. The session provided a platform for sharing diverse perspectives, real-world experiences, and practical insights.
Feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing the value of events like this in driving continuous improvement across the industry.
Looking Ahead
Lowen Glas is proud to have been part of such a successful and insightful event. We look forward to continuing our support for future conferences and initiatives that promote safety, innovation, and collaboration within the sector.
