TOTAL
"Total and BASF have a JV in Port Arthur (steam cracking plant). When I was Vice President of Total Petrochemicals (about 15 years ago) I met Dr Hans Schwarz several times to discuss process safety matters for this JV.
I learned to know him more and he became a friend. He combines in depth technical knowledge with a pragmatic approach. He always strives for solutions taking into account opinions from other people without however compromising safety.
Dr. Hans Schwarz has international experience, a huge network of professionals and he brings added value for companies which want to improve safety. He can work with people in the field but he can also talk to top managers of large corporations. An all-round process safety expert."
