Course description
This course explores a range of hazard identification techniques that can be used to prevent and protect against the effects of process safety incidents.
Hazard identification requires a systematic and methodical approach to ensure all process safety risks are recognised, prioritised and managed. This course will show you how to select appropriate techniques for different situations, scenarios and stages in the project lifecycle.
The course uses a variety of learning methods, including workshops, practical exercises, case studies and video. It can contribute to satisfying the 'Hazard Identification' competence when applying to become a Professional Process Safety Engineer.
This course is available as either an individual or group training. To get rates and book for your team, please contact the provider.
