This workshop is addressed to students and engineers who want to learn more about:
• General safety aspects
• Hydrogen properties
• Explosions
• Diffusion and embrittlement
• Regulations and standards concerning Hydrogen
• Practical applications (How to build a safe laboratory; How to build a safe filling station)
• Practical experience (Common misconceptions, Accident histories)
The whole program will be published soon.

Enero Workshop on Energy Risks

The workshop recently organised in Brussels was dedicated to the safety of renewable energy. Two presentations concentrated on hydrogen, see http://www.enero.eu/page.asp?id=126&langue=EN. The first given by C. Proust from INERIS showed some interesting results of experiments with type 4 vessels. The other presentation given by T. Jordan KIT showed the results and services of the HySafe network.

Joint undertaking implicitely safe?

Regarding the EC activities there is (surprisingly?) not a word on safety on the next FCH JU General Assembly 26/27 October 2009  in Brussels; see http://ec.europa.eu/research/fch/pdf//stakeholders_general_assembly_2009_programme.pdf#view=fit&pagemode=none
Besides there is the research grouping assembly on Wednesday 28th October 2009. Let’s make sure HySafe is duly represented!
