Course Description
Investigations of recent incidents have highlighted the importance of having a clear understanding of the principles of process safety and shutdown systems management throughout an organization. This must include staff at all levels from board members through engineers and other technical staff to plant and shift lead engineers and supervisors.
This 5 day course covers the fundamentals and aims to provide an understanding of the key principles of process safety and shutdown systems and its management with clear application in the Petrochemicals industry.
Throughout the course extensive use will be made of a range of real life case studies and of group discussions.
Course Objectives
- Improving participant’s safe operational knowledge, skills and attitudes effectively.
- Providing an understanding of the key principles of process safety and its management.
- Sharing the industry experience of various incidents.
- Realizing the human, environmental and business consequences of poor process safety in different plants.
- Recognizing the key factors influencing the basis for process safety within the Petrochemicals industry. This includes corrosion, gas leakages, start-up, and shut- down.
- Improving effectively participants limitations and know how to acquire further knowledge and understanding of process safety and Shutdown Systems management.
