A proactive risk management approach is vital for business success, with Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) playing a key role in mitigating risks in hazardous industries. HAZOP studies are now the preferred qualitative risk assessment method in the process industries. This program teaches advanced risk assessment techniques, dispersion, fire, explosion, and toxic release mechanics, Quantified Risk Assessment (QRA) concepts, HAZOP methodology, and team leadership skills.
Understand the concepts of Risk Assessment and Risk Management
Understand the estimation and evaluation of risks - Qualitative, Semi-Quantitative, and Quantified Risks
Techniques for Hazard Identification and Analysis - Check-Lists, Risk Profiling, HAZOP, FMEA, and Task-Based Risk Assessment
Cause-Consequences Analysis - The Role of Fault Trees and Event Trees in Accident Prevention
Understand HAZOP studies their benefits and their shortcomings
Understand the requirements of a Team Leader or Facilitator, scribe, and team members during HAZOP studies
Be able to facilitate a HAZOP study
well as looking at case studies and real-life situations.
In addition to the professional development of staff, the organization should be able to prioritize resources to demonstrate that process risks are adequately controlled
Attendees will be able to apply skills learned from this training at a practical level to identify sources of major hazards and prioritize decisions for their control
