Participants will explore key concepts, including safety valve sizing, process hazard analysis techniques (HAZOP, LOPA, FMEA), and methodologies to design inherently safer systems. The course features practical examples, exercises, and industry-relevant insights to ensure participants can apply these concepts effectively.

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

• Understand various aspects of process design impacting process safety.
• Apply the concept of “Inherently Safer Design” to process plant operations.
• Assess the mechanical integrity of process equipment.
• Identify hazards related to process fluids and material degradation.
• Comply with international codes for sizing relief valves.
• Operate emergency de-pressuring systems in fire and gas explosion scenarios.

This course is designed for a wide range of professionals, including:

• Team Leaders, Managers, and Supervisors in process industries.
• HSE Professionals and Personnel, including auditors and officers.
• Emergency Response Teams, Security Personnel, and Fire Officers.
• Engineers and Maintenance Personnel involved in equipment operation and inspection.
• Control Center Operators, Procurement Managers, and Laboratory Personnel.
