Webinar: Public Safety Assurance in the Energy Transition

May 6, 2025

6 May 10.30-12:00

Public safety assurance in the energy transition requires effective management of sociotechnical risk. This session, based on the outputs of RP2.3-08, introduces the SOTEC Framework – social, organizational, technical, epistemic and cultural sources of risk to explain what sociotechnical risks are, and how they might best be managed.

Past technology transition failures such as Chernobyl, Challenger, Titan, the pink bats insulation scheme and California’s energy policy have lessons for the energy transition that can be drawn out using SOTEC.
