Pioneer in Risk Management and Systems Safety Analysis
Associated with :
EdxDr. Ben Seligmann is a Research Fellow at the University of Queensland's Sustainable Minerals Institute's Minerals Industry Safety and Health Centre, where he has established himself as an innovative force in risk management and hazard identification. With a PhD and background in Chemical Engineering from UQ, he has developed groundbreaking methodologies including the Causal Network Topology Analysis (CaNeTA), which revolutionizes how organizations understand and manage complex risk landscapes. His decade-spanning career encompasses roles in academia, engineering consulting, and HSE across mining, infrastructure, healthcare, and education sectors. His research focuses on three main areas: risk assessment practices in industry, modeling accident scenarios through causal networks, and understanding complex socio-technical industrial systems. His recent work on the Izok Lake Project demonstrated CaNeTA's effectiveness in analyzing interconnected environmental, social, safety, and governance risks. Seligmann's innovative approach has earned him recognition as a leading expert in risk management, particularly in developing methods that reveal hidden connections in risk assessment data and improve decision-making in complex industrial environments.
