FS Conference ’23
We had the privilege to host the 4th Functional Safety Conference
– after years with COVID-19 and a subsequent boom in the industry.
Although this year’s conference, was very different from the conferences held in 2015, 2017 and 2019 with only 1 day and 1 common track with both Machinery- and Process Safety and a much smaller exhibition area, it was a huge success.
We appreciate all the positive feedback from the participants, who represented no less than 35 companies
We had 7 magnificent speakers: David Hatch from Wolters Kluwer Enablon, Alberto Martinez from ProjectBinder, Thomas Hoffmeyer from Rambøll Energy, Tomas Bro from ELTRONIC Fueltech, Josse Brys from HIMA, Colin Easton from EFSTAS and Stefan Lynge Christensen from Energinet all shared their knowledge, reality and their views on future trends and risks for the benefit of making Functional Safety understood and approachable.
The breaks was used for networking and good discussions with the 5 exhibitors: ABB, Geopal, DotBlue (former Global Functional Safety), Kairos and Wolter Kluwer. Unfortunately, EFSTAS was not able to attend the conference except for the online presentation.
We would like to thank all speakers, all participants and all exhibitors for participating in making the event a success. Without you, Functional Safety will remain a standard and not a tool for improving safety.

16:00 - 16:45 | EN │ Energinet SIS commissioning of the Baltic Pipe Gas Compressor Station The presentation will introduce this highly complex and comprehensive energy infrastructure project, of Baltic Pipe - Compressor Station Everdrup. The project was forced into an extreme race with the time schedule, caused by the war in Ukraine and the extreme focus of energy need in Eastern Europe. The presentation will show some of the “real world” challenges and solutions found during the project, and how Energinet deals with high safety ethics and Functional Safety. Stefan will also share some of his thoughts about mobilizing completely new operation staff and establishing the systems to operate the functional safety in the future. | ![]() | Stefan Lynge Christensen Senior Engineer - Technology Development, Energinet Stefan is process and safety engineer with comprehensive experience of Functional Safety from many large energy projects globally.

EVENT ARRANGØR
Om DotBlue
Som arrangør af dette event, ønsker vi at gøre op med en ofte manglende forståelse eller mangel på sikkerhedsstandarder indenfor maskin- og procesindustrien.
Lavt prioritering, manglende løsningsforslag eller vanskeligheder med at forstå procedurer samt myndighedernes krav. Derudover opererer nogle virksomheder med overkvalificeret sikkerhedsløsninger, der kræver unødvendig og dyr vedligeholdelse. På grund af manglende eller ikke eksisterende sikkerhedsstandarder / procedurer kan ulykker opstå, ulykker, der let kunne have været forhindret.
At samle eksperter fra førende virksomheder, gør os i stand til at fremhæve de emner, der præsenterer de største udfordringer for slutbrugerne. I samarbejde med eksperter og myndigheder vil vi svare på spørgsmål og bidrage med værktøjer til løsninger, som deltagerne kan bringe hjem til deres virksomheder.
DotBlue stræber efter at gøre Functional Safety håndgribelig og sætter vigtigheden i fokus!
