31st International System Safety Conference
APT is proud to have been a sponsor/exhibitor at the 31st International System Safety Conference, August 12-16, 2013. APT was represented by APT President, Tom Pfitzer; APT Vice President and System Safety Society Director of Publicity and Media, Saralyn Dwyer; and APT employees and Society Members, Melissa Emery and Tim Browning. Each year, the conference is hosted by one of the many chapters of the System Safety Society. This year’s conference was hosted in Boston, MA, with a theme of “Safety for the Long Run.” The conference serves as a symposium for safety practitioners to share ideas, present papers, attend tutorials and workshops, and also to socialize with fellow practitioners and enjoy the attractions of the host city. We look forward to future support and attendance of the International System Safety Conference in the coming years.

International System Safety Society Awards 2009
Congratulations to Saralyn Dwyer, who was awarded the Professional Development Award at the International System Safety Society Conference in Huntsville, AL, on 7 August 2009 for her contributions to expanding the System Safety discipline and her work with the Society. The Professional Development award is the highest award given annually by the Society.
International System Safety Society Awards 2008
Mr. Tom Pfitzer, Founder of A-P-T Research Inc., was awarded the Professional Development Award and the President’s Award at the International System Safety Society Conference in Vancouver, Canada, on 28 August 2008. The Professional Development award is the highest award given annually by the Society, and the Presidents Award is given for unusual contributions to the purposes of the Society as selected by the Society president. The awards read: “Mr. Pfitzer is a true innovator who leads by example. He continually seeks ways to bring discipline to the discipline of System Safety — discipline as to both the engineering aspects and the underlying ethical principles of practice. He pushes the envelope and promotes development of leading edge system safety approaches to practical problem solving. He contributes to the good of the System Safety profession by unselfishly volunteering use of company facilities and resources. He fosters and nurtures perpetual growth and professional advancement among his employees, whom he genuinely considers to be colleagues in practice. They, in turn, reward him with an extraordinarily low turnover rate. In addition, he seeks to promote change and initiatives that enhance the technical aspects of the system safety discipline — for example, tailoring of the risk assessment matrix, developing and promoting risk-based explosives safety applications, identifying System Safety management “Goodness” measures, visualizing risk, and innovative techniques for risk summation.”
