PROCESS RISK ASSESSMENT & RISK MANAGEMENT OUTLINE

Course Overview
Process risk assessment and risk management is part of the security operation at the workplace. Risk assessment means
identifying of hazards at work, defining the hazard and stipulating the risk associated with the hazard. Risk assessment is at its best
preventative occupational safety. Risk management is an overall view to approach hazards and measures to reduce and eliminate
injuries.

The Process Risk Assessment & Risk Management training course will identify key themes in risk assessment and explore how staff
can manage risk in practice in order to create a safe and positive working environment. The training course will also focus on
developing awareness of undertaking risk assessments and formulating risk management procedures.

The important features of the Process Risk Assessment & Risk Management training course are:
 application of advanced risk assessment techniques to the process industry
 analysis of the consequences of major hazards, in terms of fire, explosion
 dispersion modelling following hydrocarbon and toxic releases
 aspects of human error in relation to accidents
 methods for promoting a positive safety culture in your organisation
 provide familiarity with quantified risk assessment
Learning Objectives
 Overview of risk assessment and risk management
 Hazard and risk-concept, definitions and terminology
 Developing and implementing Risk Management programmes
 Explain the purpose of and procedures for investigating incidents
 Outline the risk management techniques used in the oil and gas industries
 Appreciate the role of human error in risk assessment and contribution to incidents
 Appreciate the value of promoting positive safety culture within your organisation
Target Audience
The Process Risk Assessment & Risk Management training course is aimed at all personnel involved in loss control and accident
prevention. This programme is based on multi-disciplinary approach, and is also beneficial to all personnel from senior management
to supervisors.

Training Methodology
Participants on the Process Risk Assessment & Risk Management training course will learn by active participation during the
programme through the use of exercises, syndicate and group discussion, training videos and discussions on relevant types of
accidents and ‘real life’ issues in their organisations.
