The 38th ESReDA Seminar and 3rd joint ESReDA/ESRA seminar on Advanced Maintenance Modelling will take place on 4-5th May, 2010, hosted by the Regional Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Science, Pecs, Hungary (http://www.pte.hu/pab/).
Seminar theme
The failure of many systems results in inconvenience and possible loss of revenue from its associated unavailability. When the system is safety critical the consequence of failure can be catastrophic with loss of life. Maintenance is the activity undertaken to control the state of the asset and aims where possible to prevent failures or reduce the consequential downtime should they occur. Maintenance activities can be either proactive or reactive and include: preventive maintenance (reducing the probability of failure) by servicing and modification of the system or its components; and corrective maintenance (rectifying failures) by component repair or replacement.

International standards play a vital role in improving the quality of the products and services we use every day – from the safety of our railways, to the reliability of machinery and even the compatibility of our banking systems. But how do these standards come about?
The answer lies in the collaborative work of experts across Europe. Together, they are striving to create practical tools to tackle global challenges including health, safety, security and climate change.

Safety practitioners are set to benefit from a pioneering set of guidelines into accident investigation to be published by the European Safety, Reliability and Data Association (ESReDA).
The report, Guidelines for the Safety Investigation of Accidents, highlights best practice, future challenges and learning from experience across a range of sectors including energy, transport and the process industries.
The guidelines stem from ESReDA’s 2003 study into European practices, which revealed a need for more formal processes to be put in place to improve quality and consistency in the field.

When Swedish Marine consultant Arne Ullman set up a forum to share information and risk expertise in October 1973, little did he know he was laying the foundations for one of the world’s most significant safety and reliability organisations. It was this forum – the European Reliability Data Association (EUReDatA) – which would form the beginnings of ESReDA.
