INTRODUCTION

This Advanced Process Risk Assessment & Risk Management training course, offered by Al-Majd Pathways Centre (APC), addresses the critical issue of industrial disasters that can result from a combination of small failures, culminating in major incidents. Often, these small failures and defects go unnoticed until disaster strikes, but they can be predicted and avoided.

Health, Safety, and Environmental Management Systems are built on a proactive approach to incident prevention and reactive performance monitoring, including failure analysis. Advanced Process Risk Assessment is vital for all activities affecting health and safety, production, assets, the environment, and a company's reputation.

In this course, participants will learn to:

  • Enhance practical skills in applying advanced risk assessment techniques relevant to the process industry.

  • Strike a balance between risk and cost considerations.

  • Foster improved safety culture and motivation among personnel.

  • Understand the role of Risk Assessment and Control Measures in preventing and mitigating major hazards.

  • Explore the principles of incident causation and investigation.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

Upon completing this Advanced Process Risk Assessment & Risk Management training course, participants will be able to:

  • Distinguish between hazards, risks, and risk assessments.

  • Evaluate different types of risk.

  • Comprehend Control Measures and Mitigation Measures.

  • Apply advanced risk assessment techniques relevant to the process industry.

  • Develop a strategy for planning and implementing risk reduction action plans.

  • Appreciate the role of human error in accidents.

  • Understand the root causes of major incidents.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This course is suitable for:

  • Management and individuals responsible for risk and incident analysis.

  • Production, project, process, mechanical, control, maintenance, and HSE personnel.

  • Personnel involved in implementing the company's HSE Management System.

TRAINING APPROACH

Delegates will learn through active participation, engaging presentation tools, an interactive course, and role-playing activities presented in an enthusiastic and interesting style. The course includes topic exercises, case studies, and hands-on training.
