Introduction

The manner that safety is managed across all industries has altered as a result of the global trend toward integrating Health, Safety, and Environmental Management Systems into every other corporate management. A proactive approach to risk management based on structured and systematic risk assessment is increasingly the norm rather than prescriptive regulation and guidelines.

This curriculum aims to give students practical experience applying cutting-edge safety management principles and procedures that apply to a wide range of industries. Reactive, active, and proactive performance measurement against predetermined targets based on best practices will be part of this.

Objectives

• Be familiar with key safety Codes of Practice introduced by major organizations, with particular reference to the Control of Major Accidents Hazards 'COMAH' for onshore installations.

• Develop an awareness of the key elements for implanting the Safety Case concept for fixed and mobile offshore installations.

• Appreciate the role of Incident Root-cause Analysis and best practices used for promoting positive safety culture based on methodologies implemented by major organizations.

• Be able to carry out Task-based risk assessments that focus on human error and management systems failure.

• Develop skills in the application of Projects Health; Safety & Environmental Reviews ' PHSER's best practice, by linking this review with the Capital Value Process 'CVP' and the Company HSE Management System.

• Develop skills in target setting, planning, implementing, and measuring performance.

Process

Through exercises, syndicate and group conversations, training films, and discussions on pertinent accident types and "real life" challenges in their workplaces, participants will actively participate in the program and learn new information.

Benefits

Attendees will be able to develop practical skills learned from this training to achieve excellence in solving HSE problems.

Results

The company should be able to prioritize resources to show that process risks are properly detected, analyzed, and controlled based on best practices, in addition to the professional development of staff.

Core Competencies

Participants who successfully finish this program should be able to show that they are conversant with cutting-edge concepts and approaches for resolving HSE issues at work.
