This course is intended to introduce to the delegate the practical ways in which safety engineering and risk assessment systems, methods and techniques can play a significant role in eliminating, mitigating and controlling high hazard situations and conditions. Using well established principles defined by international and professional bodies, developed and formulated over many years and further established from learning from major accidents, the course will provide the delegate with a working knowledge of the proactive and reactive processes by which quantifiable assessments can be used to assess, identify and control hazards.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• Promote a proactive attitude within the individual to hazard analysis
• Introduce the proactive concept and benefits of safety engineering and hazard risk assessment analysis
• Help to recognize the range of the key factors to be considered in the process of hazard and risk assessment analysis
• Introduce the delegate to the methods and techniques for evaluation hazards across a variety of industry sectors
• Enlighten the delegate to the importance of continued learning from accidents and incidents
• Help promote the importance of ongoing monitoring and reviewing of safety systems

The course is ideal for plant professionals, engineers, designers and any person whom to any extent has a contribution to make in ensuring the safe operation of a potential high hazard workplace.
