Hazard Analysis and Risk assessment

Introduction

This program is aimed at providing hands-on experience on the application of advanced risk assessment techniques relevant to the oil, gas and process industries.

Objectives

    Attendees will be able to apply skills learnt from this training at a practical level to identify sources of major hazards and to prioritize decisions for their control. In addition to the professional development of staff, the organization should be able to priorities resources to demonstrate that process risks are adequately controlled.

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

This course is aimed at all Personnel involved in loss control and accident prevention. The program is based on multi-disciplinary approach, which includes all personnel from Senior Management to Supervisors.
