Course Summary
Within the ever-growing engineering industry, there is an increasing potential for minor and major accidents to occur, especially if an organisation is not fully risk-aware.
As an engineer and those in a leadership or management position, it is incredibly important to be fully competent and aware of the risks associated with the industry. Risk management aims to identify hazards, document risks, and create and implement control methods. A vast number of methods can be utilised to analyse risks and aid in establishing preventative measures, and these can be extremely beneficial as they can help negate the potential for human error.
Enforcing stricter health and safety processes is essential for an organisation to maintain peak productivity. Major incidents can impact funds and assets and lead to engineers' injuries. Complete knowledge and understanding of risk management can enable a business to function to its maximum potential.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the importance of health and safety within an organisation.
- Assess how and why incidents may occur.
- Identify hazards utilising different methods and techniques.
- Evaluate the short and long-term effects of incidents on business productivity.
- Review what records and documents must be created and maintained when conducting risk assessments.
- Account for regional and international health and safety regulations.
- Explain what health and safety circumstances are commonly faced within the industry.
- Advise on the ideal practices to reduce risk.
- Assess what control measures can be applied to manage risk.
This course is designed for anyone in the engineering industry responsible for maintaining health and safety. It would be most beneficial for:
- HSE Personnel
- Engineering Project Managers
- Construction/Site Supervisors
- Construction/Site Managers
- Engineering Directors
- Process Safety Managers
- Operation Managers
- Chief Engineering Officers (CEOs)
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review real-world examples of risk management documents to highlight risk areas and what factors may lead to accidents.
They will be supplied with all the necessary tools and equipment to conduct the learning exercises effectively. A combination of video materials, presentations, and practical activities will provide ample opportunities for participants to develop their knowledge and practical skills related to the taught content. Furthermore, they will be able to create their own risk management plans about their respective roles to gain a full understanding of the processes.
