Introduction
As technological systems Starting to become more complicated it becomes increasingly difficult to Recognise and understand safety hazards and to control their Effect. Plant Managers and Engineers are becoming more knowledgeable 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.
Highlights of this training course are as follows:
• Introduce the delegate to the practical methods of safety engineering and risk examination systems.
• Ways and techniques in eliminating, mitigating and controlling major hazard situations and conditions.
• Utlising 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.
Objectives
Upon the completion of this course delegates will be able to:
• Apply the principles of hazard identification and assessment of risk to processes and machinery.
• Comprehend reliability concept and use of failure tracing methods.
• Illustrate a practical comprehending 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.
• Recognise the general requirement for development of safe system of work.
• Identify relevant International Standards for Reliability and Machinery Safety.
