Process Safety Concepts is the first in a series of eight training workshops specially designed to help people tasked with safety responsibilities gain the engineering and management expertise needed to operate a plant safely.

This practical 1-day workshop covers essential concepts on process safety management, the risks, as well as methodologies used to assess hazards. Through this workshop, you will:

  • Be able to recognise process hazards in operating plants and field operations
  • Understand the effects and impact of hazardous chemicals on people, equipment and environment
  • Learn about common safeguards used to prevent loss-of-containment incidents
  • Discover ways to control and mitigate the severity of hazards

Who Should Attend

  • Managers, engineers, operators, safety advisors and risk management practitioners
