Why Attend
As technological systems grow more complex, identifying and controlling safety hazards becomes increasingly challenging. Plant managers and engineers must integrate safety and risk management into daily operations to meet evolving international and national standards. This course highlights practical safety engineering and risk assessment methods, techniques to mitigate major hazards, principles established by bodies like IChemE, and processes for proactive and reactive quantifiable risk assessments.
Instructor-led training that uses interactive learning methods, including class discussion, small group activities, and role-playing
Apply the principles of hazard identification and assessment of risk to processes and machinery; Understand reliability concept and use of failure tracing methods; Demonstrate a practical understanding of a quantitative risk assessment technique and the date required for records; Advise management on the most effective control methods based on the evaluation of risk; Identify the general requirement for development of safe system of work; Recognise relevant International Standards for Reliability and Machinery Safety
