Certified Risk Management for all Professionals

Introduction

Most large organizations now have Health, Safety, and Environmental Management Systems. Instead of prescriptive legislation and standards, a pro-active approach to risk management based on structured and systematic risk assessment is now in place. This program is aimed at providing hands-on experience on the application of advanced risk management principles and techniques relevant to the oil, gas, and process industries. This program will enable attendees to implement HSE Management System, based on industry best practice. The program will also provide familiarity with promoting positive safety culture, accidents analysis and modern risk management techniques for planning and implementing action plans.

Prerequisite

No previous experience in risk assessment/management is necessary. Adequate guidance is given during this program through individual and group work.

Impact on Individuals

Attendees will be able to apply skills learned from this training at a practical level to implement the Company’s HSE Management System.

Impact on the Organization

In addition to the professional development of staff, the organization should be able to implement, monitor, and review action plans.

Topics Covered

Major topics covered by this program include the following:

• Introduction to HSE management systems
• Elements, sub-elements, and expectations of HSE-MS
• The role of HSE Audits and site inspections
• Sources of major hazards and their control
• Control of major accident hazards Code of Practice
• Modern Incident investigation and analysis techniques
• Projects HSE Plans

Objectives

• To demonstrate the role of risk management as the main element of HSE Management System
• To provide participants with a clear understanding of risk management techniques and hands-on experience in applying this technique to their own sphere of activities.
•  To analyze some principal stages in the accident chain and hazard models. This concept will be used to systematically analyze the root causes of selected incidents that have occurred.
• To provide program members with the experience in demonstrating that major hazards are adequately controlled
• To ensure consistent optimization of resource allocation for production, maintenance, and safety, based on risk and cost-benefit.
• The emphasis throughout the program will be placed on the practical application of advanced risk management techniques to new projects and current activities.
