Tunnel Safety & Security 7 th International Symposium 6-8 th March 206, Montréal, Canada
ISTSS BEGAN IN SWEDEN IN 2003 as the International Symposium on Catastrophic Tunnel Fires. Interest for the first Symposium clearly identified the need for a conference dealing with safety and security issues related to tunnels. In response to overwhelming interest, the scope of the Symposium was broadened and the event was renamed the International Symposium of Tunnel Safety and Security (ISTSS). The st ISTSS was held in Washington, DC, in 2004 and has continued biennially since then attracting more than 250 delegates to each meeting. At SP, we are proud to have established this prestigious event in collaboration with our event partners. www.istss.se 7th th ISTSS in Montréal, Canada Tunnels are an increasingly important part of the infrastructure network. They create challenges for incident prevention and management, fire protection and security against attacks or sabotage. This Symposium offers an excellent opportunity for experts working with transport, infrastructure security systems, manufacturers and technical organisations to exchange their experience in an international forum. The 7th ISTSS Symposium will be held at the: Montreal Marriott Chateau Champlain 050 de la Gauchetiere West, Montreal, Canada SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden develops and disseminates technology to assist the development and competitiveness of industry, to improve safety in society, to support sustainable development and to help protect the environment.

ITA-COSUF ITA Committee on Operational Safety of Underground Facilities ITA-COSUF is the Centre of Excellence for world-wide exchange of information and know-how regarding safety and security of underground facilities. It is part of the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association (ITA) and is supported by PIARC, the World Road Association. ITA-COSUF covers all types of underground facilities and can therefore deal with overlaps and differences for instance between underground road and rail infrastructures. ITA-COSUF workshops are important means of communication; both internal workshops to exchange views with colleagues in a safe environment as well as open workshops to share views and experience with the outer world. A large part of ITA-COSUF thinking and outputs relies on various Activity Groups. RIFA is a global association established with the objective to share information, experience and best practice in the management of fi re safety throughout the Railway Industry. Our membership comes from railway operating and infrastructure companies, suppliers of equipment and services to the rail industry and from the fi re fi ghting services. RIFA has a global membership which enables information on practices and solutions from around the world to be available to all our members. Membership is open to anyone concerned with the provision of fi re safety for our railways. RIFA is the body that has become the industry voice to maintain Fire Safety standards throughout the rail industry. The Tunnelling Association of Canada (TAC) brings together Canadian, North American and International individuals and fi rms to promote and advance Canadian tunnelling and underground excavation technologies and to represent the interests of the tunnelling and underground excavation community in matters of technical and public concern. Through association-sponsored meetings, course, workshops and conferences held across Canada, TAC encourages excellence and safety in the design, construction and maintenance of tunnels and underground excavations. As the Canadian representative body of the ITA the Tunneling Association of Canada helps ensure Canadian tunneling practitioners. They are connected to a world-wide network of experts keeping Canadian practice at the highest standards of international excellence.
