Introduction
Investigations into recent incidents have highlighted the importance of having a clear understanding of the principles of process safety management throughout an organization. This must include staff at all levels from board members through engineers and other technical staff to plant and shift managers and supervisors. EcoMan intensive five-day course covers the fundamentals and aims to provide an understanding of the key principles of process safety and its management.
Objectives
- Understand the human, environmental and business consequences of poor process safety
- Be aware of and understand the key factors influencing the basis for process safety
- Understand the hazards associated with process plant and how the risks can be controlled
- Understand the key process safety requirements at each stage in the life cycle of process plant from conceptual design through to operation, maintenance and modification
- Understand the ways in which their work depends on the knowledge and expertise of others (i.e. inter dependency and the need for overall organizational process safety management competence)
- Understand their own limitations and know how to acquire further knowledge and understanding of process safety management
At the end of the course delegates should achieve the following key learning outcomes:
Development of the course:
The development of the course has been steered by an expert group of safety professionals drawn from EcoMan specialist process safety community with wide experience of the best practice in organizations such as BP, INEOS, Yule Catto, GSK, HSE and Cambridge University. The oil and gas, petrochemicals, fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals industries are well represented. Throughout the course extensive use will be made of a range of real life case studies and of group discussions
Training Methodology
The training methodology is interactive with group exercises and is suitable for all employees involved in functions management. The pace and level of the training workshop is customized to the understanding of the delegates. Ongoing back-up and support is available after the training on request to the supplier, and the training course is also available for in-house presentation as well as for “Competency Transfer”. any course covers the fundamentals and aims to provide an understanding of the key principles of process safety and its management.
