This course begins with pipeline in oil and gas companies and a review of risk management concepts, and methodologies and then focuses on the most popular risk technique in current use by the pipeline industry. The emphasis throughout is on practical, ready-to-apply techniques that yield immediate and cost-effective benefits. This workshop is structured so that it is appropriate for either the practicing or the beginning risk manager. Each will leave with the necessary tools to begin or strengthen risk assessment techniques leading to a formalized risk management program. As much as is possible, course content will be directed to specific audience needs.

• Process Engineer
• Chemical engineer
• Mechanical engineer
• Safety adviser
• Production Engineer
• Inspection engineer
• Mechanical Technician
• Reliability Engineer

The expert will suggest ideas and theories to the delegates and then encourage them to test out the ideas by the use of:
• Discussion
• exercises
• Case studies & DVDs
• group exercisess
• examples
