About this Training Course Managing process hazards in the hydrocarbon and chemical processing industries is a critical function that requires relevant knowledge and skills due to the risks involved. The Advanced Process Safety Engineering course will discuss the interrelation of the various techniques of process safety for analysing, with a particular emphasis on engineering design aspects, as well as how to manage process hazards in a safe and effective way and how they can potentially be avoided. In this 3 full-day advanced level course, the expert course leader will provide participants with insights and examples from his career and experience to show how their learning should be applied in real-life situations. Feedback and questioning is highly encouraged. Reference material and reports can be provided to give more information on any particular topic of interest. Individual and group exercises, tutored exercises and video case studies will be provided throughout the course to underpin the key learning points. Training Objectives Upon completion of this course, participants will acquire in-depth knowledge of: Risk management and 'As Low as Reasonably Practicable' (ALARP) principles. Different aspects of process design that influence process safety. Approach to 'inherently safer' design. Defence in depth using 'layers of protection'. Process for ensuring the technical integrity of safety-critical equipment. Hazards associated with process materials. Range of hazard identification and consequence modelling techniques. Causes and mitigation of human error. Reliability and availability of safety-critical protection equipment. Role of engineered safety-critical equipment and systems. Target Audience This course is suitable for industry professionals who need to acquire a comprehensive understanding of process safety. This includes those who are required to make managerial decisions where process safety is a key consideration, those who are moving into process safety positions or those who wish to broaden their process safety knowledge within their existing discipline. It is particularly suited for anyone involved in the design, operation, modification or maintenance of a major hazard installation, and will demonstrate a substantial understanding of process safety for those engaged in Continuous Professional Development or aiming for Chartered Engineer status. This course will benefit professionals such as: Operations and maintenance supervisors Process, mechanical and chemical engineers and technicians Design engineers, project engineers and HSE managers Control, automation and instrumentation engineers Course Level Advanced Trainer Your expert course leader has 50 years' experience in chemical and process safety engineering. His early career included 20 years in design and project engineering with various fine chemical and pharmaceutical companies where he designed chemical processes, specified plant equipment and selected materials for highly corrosive and toxic processes, often where textbook data was not available. This was followed by 10 years in offshore oil and gas design projects where he was responsible for setting up a Technical Safety group to change design safety practices in the aftermath of the 1988 Piper Alpha disaster. In recent years, he has been called upon to conduct various offshore and onshore incident investigations. His career has given him experience in project engineering, project management, process design and operations, safety engineering and risk management. He is a Fellow of the UK Institution of Chemical Engineers. He served on the Scottish Branch committee, and was elected chairman for a two-year term in 1991. He has also been chairman of the Safety and Reliability Society - North of Scotland Branch. He has delivered training courses in Process Hazard Analysis (HAZOP and HAZID), Process Safety Management, Hazard Awareness, Risk Assessment, Root Cause Analysis, Failure Modes & Effect Analysis and has lectured on Reliability Analysis to the M.Sc. course in Process Safety and Loss Prevention at Sheffield University. In addition to delivering training courses, he currently facilitates HAZOP / HAZID / LOPA studies and undertakes expert witness roles advising lawyers engaged in contractual disputes, usually involving the design or construction of chemical plants or Oil & Gas production facilities, or criminal prosecutions. POST TRAINING COACHING SUPPORT (OPTIONAL) To further optimise your learning experience from our courses, we also offer individualized 'One to One' coaching support for 2 hours post training. We can help improve your competence in your chosen area of interest, based on your learning needs and available hours.

About this Training Course Process Hazard Assessment using the HAZOP Technique is an intensely participative course that will both explain the key facets of the HAZOP technique as well as provide ample opportunities for participants to practice and become familiar with the technique using generic and real-life examples. HAZOP Team Leader Training is an intensely participative course that will develop participants already familiar with the HAZOP technique, the skills, knowledge and attributes of a HAZOP Team Leader. An in-depth syndicate exercise will provide the opportunity to lead a HAZOP team (consisting of other participants) and to be observed performing the role for constructive feedback. This 5 full-day course has been reviewed and approved by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). IChemE is the global professional membership organisation for chemical, biochemical and process engineers and other professionals involved in the chemical, process and bioprocess industries. Their knowledge of professional standards, close involvement with industry, education and regulators, and their expertise as a leading global training provider, means they are uniquely positioned to independently assess and approve training courses and professional development programmes across the world. Training Objectives Process Hazard Assessment using the HAZOP Technique By the end of this course, participants will be able to: Understand the basic HAZOP Technique Fulfill roles as competent HAZOP Team Members Understand the role of HAZOP in risk management Understand how Hazard Identification can predict accidents and incidents Understand how HAZOP complements other hazard identification tool HAZOP Team Leader Training By the end of this course, participants will be able to: Understand the role of the HAZOP Team Leader Practise the role in a classroom environment Provide feedback to participants on their performance as HAZOP Team Leaders Appreciate the leadership skills required as HAZOP Team Leader Plan, organise, manage and successfully undertake a Hazard and Operability study Target Audience This course will benefit: All key persons in the organisation, who by their discipline and/or position, are likely to be called on to initiate, participate or review a HAZOP study. All who have responsibility for the management and supervision of process & safety including but not limited to Senior Management, Plant Managers, Process and Maintenance Engineers (all disciplines), Line Supervisors, Team Leaders, Safety Specialists, and Process Training Instructors.
