TRANSCRIPT
RISK, LIABILITY +EXPOSURE DELIVERING POSITIVE OUTCOMES
CALL FOR SPEAKERS
Life. Property. Environment.
Traditionally run as separate events, we are joining these two sectors together into a bigger and better conference and trade show that promises to attract key decision makers and leading subject matter experts from government and industry.
The conference and tradeshow will attract key industry professionals from the fire protection, fire safety, emergency management and hazardous materials sectors from across Australia and overseas as well as representatives of government and fire agencies. All of these stakeholders will be engaged by a wide variety of presentations and industry experts, with a passion for delivering positive outcomes.
The conference will include presentations that span three specific streams:
• Fire Protection Strategic Stream (Risk, Liability, Exposure) • Fire Protection Technical Stream • HazMat Stream
The Fire Protection Strategic Stream is for presentations that provide holistic industry views aligned to the main conference theme, whereas the Fire Protection Technical Stream and Hazmat Stream are dedicated to presentations on subject-specific matters.
This structure provides more opportunities for speakers, allowing them to target their presentation for a specific audience or purpose. The aim is to encourage a broad cross-section of speakers and allow delegates the flexibility and opportunity to attend presentations that are topical, current and most relevant to their role in the fire protection and hazardous materials sector.
THE CONFERENCE FIRE AUSTRALIA & HAZMAT 2016 IS THE PREMIER EVENT FOR THE FIRE PROTECTION AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SECTOR.

FIRE PROTECTION STRATEGIC STREAM The theme of the conference and tradeshow is Risk, Liability, Exposure – Delivering Positive Outcomes.
Managing risk and limiting liability and exposure is a daily challenge shared by everyone involved in fire protection. Essential to managing these risks is to identify areas of vulnerability, ensuring appropriate strategies and systems are in place to prevent things going wrong and understanding the possible consequences should systems fail.
Presentations in this stream should consider two key areas:
1. The risk of fire – exploring opportunities to improve the protection of life, property and the environment; and
2. Business risks – such as financial, personal and reputational risk to business owners, their employees and their customers.
FIRE PROTECTION TECHNICAL STREAM The Fire Protection Technical Stream is an opportunity for speakers to share their technical knowledge, experiences, research and information on any subject related to the fire protection industry. Ideally the subject matter will relate to one of the following areas:
• Early Warning & Detection • Fire Suppression • Passive Fire Protection • Emergency Planning • Bushfire • Maintenance • Product Testing & Approval
HAZMAT STREAM Incorporation of the HazMat stream into the conference maintains the status of this event as the leading conference for the chemical management, dangerous goods and hazardous materials industries. Presentations in this stream may address any topical and current themes within these sectors or affiliated industries such as:
• Chemical Management & Safety • Transport, Storage & Handling • Emergency Management and Response
