WORKSHOP Learning from Derailments
8.30 12.30pm
Most derailments are minor, however all of them result in temporary
disruption of the railway system, and they can be dangerous to human health
and safety.
Background
The conference kicks off with a workshop and this year it will be focussed on
derailments and what we can learn from previous incidents.
We will focus on one specific incident that has recently occurred and review
this, determining the causes and providing a full summary of the incident.
Purpose
What we hope will prove valuable for delegates are the lessons we can learn
and put into practice for the future. We hope the forum will bring together
like minded individuals and will be used as a platform to share ideas and
knowledge.

12.00 GUEST SPEAKER: Paul De Gelder
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. These three words the mantra of the
Australian Army resonated with Paul de Gelder the first time he heard
them. Paul chased adventure wherever he could find it, from his wild
ride as a hoodlum teen and his drug-and-alcohol fuelled stint working
in a strip club to hauling his way up to the elite echelons of the defence
forces.
But trouble hunted him down in the form of a brutal shark in February
2009. Paul lost two limbs, and his career as a daredevil navy clearance
diver was flung into jeopardy. Drawing on everything his eventful life
had taught him, Paul left nothing to chance in his recovery. He fought
through excruciating pain, smashing challenge after challenge, and
amazing the medical staff with his will to succeed. His inspiring story
takes never say die to a whole new level.
