ESAS 08 - Welcome to the ESAS 08 event site

Here you will find all the information you need to take part in MOD ESAS 08, whether you are visiting or wish to get involved by exhibiting or presenting.

Who is it for ?

ESAS 08 is the MOD's conference for everyone interested in the Safety and Environmental through-life management of Defence Systems.

Our aim is to share best practice across MOD, Industry and Academia.

We are encouraging even greater attendance from those planning requirements, procuring, supplying, supporting and using equipment across MoD and in industry. This is about making ESAS 08 as relevant as it can be to all everyone in the MOD involved in and connected with the safety and environmental management of Defence Systems equipment.

Latest News

We're over subscribed! There has been great demand to attend ESAS 08 and we have hit the limits set by Fire Regulations. If you register interest now you will be placed on a reserve list just in case there are cancellations, however the list is already long, so it is unlikely you will be able to attend this year.

We are pleased to announce our two sponsors for ESAS 08, BVT Surface Fleet and Frazer Nash Consultancy. Thanks to their generosity we will all be properly fed and watered throughout the event.

ESAS Surgeries. We would like to trial the use of safety and environmental surgeries, taking place on and around the main ESAS 08 event. Surgeries aim to provide focused one-on-one support on a variety of issues.
