Advanced Risk Management
Advanced Risk Management
INTRODUCTION
The global trend in integrating Health, Safety and Environmental Management Systems underpins commitment to implementing a pro-active approach to risk management based on structured and systematic risk assessment. This programme is aimed at providing hands-on experience on the application of advanced risk assessment techniques relevant to the oil, gas and process industries. This course will
enable attendees to identify hazards, particularly those resulting from human error, evaluating risks and targeting resources to prevent accidents through effective risk management. The course will also provide familiarity with Quantified Risk Assessment ‘QRA’ and reviews latest software on fire, explosion and dispersion modeling following hydrocarbon and toxic releases.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This course is aimed at all Personnel involved in loss control and accident prevention. The programme is based on multi-disciplinary approach, which includes all personnel from Senior Management to Supervisors. No previous experience in risk assessment and risk management is necessary. Adequate guidance is given during this programme through individual and group work.
