About this Training Course This 5 full-day course covers all the main elements of IChemE's Process Safety Competency framework: culture, knowledge and competence, engineering and design, human factors, systems and procedures, and assurance. Participants will achieve at least the second level of competence 'Basic Application', which is defined as 'Performs fundamental and routine tasks. Requires occasional supervision. Increased functional expertise and ability. Works with others.' This course examines the interrelation of the various techniques of process safety for analysing and managing process hazards in the hydrocarbon and chemical processing industries. There is a particular emphasis on engineering design aspects with extensive participation in individual and group exercises, tutored exercises and video case studies throughout the course to underpin key learning points. The learning is consolidated in a comprehensive case study and requires collaboration between members of each syndicate. This course has been reviewed and approved by the Institution of Chemical Engineers. 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 By the end of this course, participants will be able to: Acquire the underpinning knowledge required to achieve process safety competency Gain a comprehensive understanding of process safety management Understand the concept of the safety life cycle of a process plant from conceptual design onwards including operation, maintenance and modification Understand the hazard scenarios associated with a process plant Understand how risks can be controlled by hardware and procedural measures Identify and analyse hazard causes and consequences Recognise when specialist analytical expertise is required Generate effective and appropriate measures to reduce risks Justify and communicate practical solutions to non-technical personnel Explain the rationale for process safety measures to decision makers Target Audience This course is suitable for process industry professionals who need to acquire a comprehensive understanding of process safety management, those moving into process safety positions or those who wish to broaden their process safety knowledge within their existing discipline.
