Safety and Loss Prevention in Petrochemical Plants Techniques for Risk Assessment and Decision Making Course
Introduction:
It is important to always have in mind danger when you are safe and chaos when things are in order. When danger and mayhem are still forming, keep an eye out for them and take action before they become serious. The best of everything is this. Thus, the norm of military operations is not to anticipate adversaries' arrival but rather to rely on strategies for dealing with them; it is also not to anticipate adversaries' attacks but rather to rely on possessing what cannot be attacked. Sixth-century B.C. The Art of War.
Course Objectives:
This course will guide all participates to develop key concepts and techniques to logically analyzing risk assessment and decision-making. These key concepts can be utilized to make operating decisions that can improve your unit’s performance and Safety. Many aspects of operations can be improved including, product recoveries, purities, and energy utilization, and safety. This cannot be achieved without first an understanding of basic fundamental principles of risk assessment and decision making these principles need to be understood in advance of operating and troubleshooting process unit operation for the operator or problem solving to be effective.
Who Should Attend?
The course is intended for all staff from supervisors to senior management with roles and responsibilities for safety in the workplace. In addition, all safety professionals or risk managers need to have a full understanding of the modern tools available to be competent in accident investigations. The course will also benefit regulators and enforcement officers who may have to oversee certain classifications of investigations.
