Who is this for?

Typical attendees would be:

• Process design engineers
• Electrical, control and instrument engineers
• Safety managers and advisors
• Works or technical managers with responsibility for managing risk
• Leaders of HAZOP studies

Typical attendees would probably have:

• Some experience of design and plant operation
• An analytical and structured approach to problem solving

What prior study is recommended?

Delegates should possess a solid understanding of the subject matter and have completed relevant awareness training or have equivalent practical experience in the course topic.

At the end of the course you should be able to:

• Logical analysis, using fault tree techniques of scenarios leading to hazardous events
• Use of data and its application to predict the likelihood of a hazardous event
• Development of practical hazard criteria
• Handling of dependent or common mode failures
• Basic human error assessment
• Applying basic SIL and hazard assessment in a variety of situations to help in making more effective and cost effective decisions
