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 money 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.

Objective

The overall objective is to ensure that participants are familiar with the concept of reliability and fundamentals of risk assessments. This training course 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

Audience

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

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.

Fees

$5,500 per attendee including training material/handouts, morning/afternoon coffee breaks, and Lunch.
