This course will enable delegates to identify hazards, particularly those resulting from human error, evaluating risks and targeting resources to prevent accidents through effective risk management. It will also provide familiarity with Quantified Risk Assessment (QRA) and review latest software on fire, explosion and dispersion modeling following hydrocarbon and toxic releases.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• Risk assessment and risk management
• Hazard and risk - Concept, definitions and terminology
• Risk comparison: voluntary v. involuntary risks and tolerability of risks
• Types of risk: Individual, societal, economic and environmental risks
• Framework for risk assessment
• Estimation and evaluation of risks: qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantified risks
• The link between risk assessment and risk management: Framework for risk management
• Elements of risk management: prioritizing actions, planning and implementing
• Human error and accident causation (latent and active errors): Bhopal and Piper Alpha
• Techniques for hazard identification and analysis
• Cause-consequences analysis: the role of fault trees and event trees in accident prevention
• Techniques for human reliability analysis
• Preparation of action plans
• Prioritizing and targeting corrective and preventive measures

EH&S personnel, personnel involved in carrying out risk assessment and accident prevention and personnel from senior management, supervisors and senior operators
