I have been a Keynote and invited speaker at events around the world. Highlights include conceiving, organising and chairing an international conference on Human and Organisational Factors in the Oil, Gas & Chemical Industries in 2007 for the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors. I subsequently organised similar events in 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014.

I have also lectured in human factors, ergonomics and process safety at undergraduate and Masters level at several UK universities.
