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. It is particularly suited for anyone
involved in the design, operation, modification or maintenance of a major hazard
installation. This includes:
* Supervisors, operators and maintainers in Oil & Gas, Petrochemical and
Chemical industries,
* process, mechanical and chemical engineers and technicians
* Design engineers, project engineers and HSE managers
* Control, automation and instrumentation engineers
It will also demonstrate a substantial understanding of process safety for those
engaged in Continuous Professional Development or aiming for the Chartered
Engineer status.
Course Level
* Basic or Foundation
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. This is a great opportunity to improve your
capability and confidence in a particular area of expertise. It will be
delivered over a secure video conference call by one of our senior trainers.
They will work with you to create a tailor-made coaching program that will help
you achieve your goals faster.
