Preventing Criminal Manslaughter ~ Understanding & Implementing SFAIRP (Live Forum Preview)

In this special episode of Risk! Engineers Talk Governance, due diligence engineers Richard Robinson and Gaye Francis preview their upcoming live forum event on "Preventing Criminal Manslaughter - Understanding & Implementing SFAIRP (So Far As Reasonably Practicable)".

The event will feature presentations from a lawyer, Joseph Coleiro, and an architect, Dr. Frank Stoks, along with the hosts Richard Robinson and Gaye Francis, with the focus on exploring the legal obligations and practical challenges around the concept of SFAIRP, which is a key requirement in health and safety legislation.

Topics to be discussed include the relationship between the laws of nature and the laws of man, the complexities of health and safety laws, and the balance between safety requirements and other project considerations like cost and usability.

The forum aims to foster a thought-provoking discussion and debate on these issues, drawing on our diverse expertise. Questions will also be taken from the audience.

Tickets for the Live Forum on 22 October 2025 are available for both in person (Melbourne) and online via https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/preventing-criminal-manslaughter-understanding-implementing-sfairp-tickets-1653602251849
