Introduction

As technological systems become more complex it becomes increasingly difficult to identify safety hazards and to control their impact. Plant Managers and Engineers are becoming more aware that safety and risk touch on every aspect of the day to day running of their Plants and engineering and process systems if they are to comply with ever changing and demanding International, and National environmental and economic values and standards.

Unsafe systems can result in monies being lost due to accidents, disruption to production, criminal and civil prosecutions, loss of market share, and the degradation of company assets and the environment.

The highlights of this seminar are as follows:

Introduce to the delegate the practical ways of safety engineering and risk assessment systems
Methods and techniques in eliminating, mitigating and controlling major hazard situations and conditions.
Using well established principles defined by International and professional bodies such as IChemE ( Institute of Chemical Engineers), developed and formulated over many years and further established from learning from major accidents.
Provide the delegate with a working knowledge of the proactive and reactive processes by which quantifiable assessments can be used to assess and control risks.

Seminar Objectives

The overall objective is to ensure that participants are familiar with the concept of reliability and fundamentals of risk assessments. The seminar has been designed to enable delegates upon completion to be able to:

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

Training Methodology

The seminar shall be presented by a combination of interactive lectures, videos, and knowledge and understanding further established by way of a number of syndicate group exercises.

Organisational Impact

Professional development of staff; the organisation should be able to prevent accidents and minimise losses through improved reliability and safety.
Awareness of tried and tested International practical principles to make quantifiable decisions to assist in evaluating risks from engineering options.
Enable the delegate to apply the principles of safety engineering and risk assessment back at his or her workplace by putting into practice the practical knowledge gained from the course
Help promote the importance of ongoing monitoring and reviewing of safety systems

Personal Impact

Promotes a proactive attitude within the individual to hazard analysis
Introduce the proactive concept and benefits of safety engineering and hazard / risk assessment analysis
Help to recognise the range of the key factors to be considered in the process of hazard and risk assessment analysis
Introduce the delegate to the methods and techniques for evaluation hazards across a variety of industry sectors
Enlighten the delegate to the importance of continued learning from accidents and incidents

Who Should Attend?

Plant Professionals
Engineers
Designers
All Professionals who has a contribution to make in ensuring the safe operation of a potential high hazard workplace.
