This program, based on NEBOSH standards, is intended to update the participants with the most relevant up-to-date international standards in the field of safety technology.

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

• Familiarize with the risk-based approach to construction safety and contract work.
• Improve their experience in the application of reliability technology for the selection of appropriate Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) for protective and safety systems.
• Ensure consistent optimization of resource allocation for production, maintenance and safety, based on risk and cost-benefit analysis.
• Improve practical application of reliability and risk assessment techniques to new projects and existing machinery systems
• Update knowledge on modern concepts of machinery and work equipment safety based on the latest International machinery safety standards
• Develop a clear understanding of machinery and work equipment risk assessment techniques
• Review the role of modern concepts for the design of fluid power machinery and systems.
• Develop adequate level of skills for construction safety plans and project work.
• Describe the consequences and mechanism of fire, explosion and toxic releases.
