Introduction
Health, Safety, and Environmental Management Systems are based on a proactive process for incidents prevention as well as reactive monitoring of performance. Risk assessment is required to be applied to all activities that impact on health & safety, production, asset, environment, and the Company reputation. In this seminar you will learn how to:
- Improve your practical skills in applying advanced risk assessment techniques relevant to the process industry
- Effectively balance risk against cost in order to optimize risk reduction measures
- Motivate your people for improved safety culture
- Appreciate the role of Quantified Risk Assessment and major hazards
- Apply root-cause analysis to incident investigation and analysis
Conference Objectives of Advanced Process Risk Assessment & Risk Management
- Recognize the difference between hazard, risk and risk assessment
- Learn how to evaluate different types of risk
- Develop the skills of applying advanced risk assessment techniques relevant to the process industry
- Develop a strategy for planning and implementing risk reduction action plans
- Appreciate the contribution of human error to accidents
- Be able to apply advanced techniques for root-cause analysis for incidents
Conference Methodology
Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of exercises, syndicate and group discussion, training videos, and discussions on relevant types of accidents and "real life" issues in their organizations.
Conference Summary of Advanced Process Risk Assessment & Risk Management
The conference aims to provide hands-on experience in the application of advanced risk assessment techniques to all aspects of the process industry. It includes analysis of the consequences of major hazards, in terms of fire, explosion, and toxic releases. These are modeled using advanced commercial software. Aspects of human error in relation to accidents are analyzed and included in methods for promoting a positive safety culture in your organization.
This training session also explores the role of analytical investigation and root-cause analysis based on Fault Tree Analysis.
Participants will be able to apply skills learned from this training at a practical level to implement the Company’s HSE Management System. In addition to your professional development, your organization should be able to implement, monitor, and review HSE action plans.
