In support of this approach, this course provides a comprehensive understanding of the tools and problem-solving methods used in risk management and process safety

• By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • This course provides an introduction and overview of the most significant aspects and considerations of process risk management and its relationship to process safety.
  • It is designed to help participants understand the concepts, criteria, and methodologies of risk management, and to apply them at a practical level in the design, engineering, and operation of facilities.
  • It will enable participants to analyze the significance of potential process hazards, make initial recommendations to eliminate or reduce those hazards, reduce the consequences of potential process accidents, and to improve the overall safety level of an existing project or facility.

This course is designed to provide valuable knowledge to the following professionals:

• Management and supervisory personnel involved in routine decision making on the management, engineering, safety, maintenance, and operation of process facilities in the Oil/ Gas industry.
• Managers, supervisors, design engineers, project engineers, operations, and maintenance personnel, PSM and HSE personnel, as well as instrumentation, automation and control engineers.
• Any other professional wishing to gain a better understanding of the subject.
