Engineering Technical Safety Considerations
Course Info
Course Summary
As technological systems become increasingly advanced, it is more crucial than ever for organisations to focus on the safety of their engineers.
Process Safety Management is the process of accounting for all technical safety considerations an engineer may face while at work. Within the industry, there is a level of risk that comes with every task, and it is the role of management to account for these risks. They must analyse them utilising different methods and techniques, discover the ideal control measures, and implement them into business functions. All risk assessments and analyses need to be documented thoroughly to ensure every part of the organisation can comprehend the safety measures in place.
Being aware of risks and activities working to ensure safety is essential to maintaining business productivity. Any incidents, whether they be major or minor, has the potential to impact productivity and can cause the business to lose funds, assets and have the potential to cause great harm to employees.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the principles of hazard identification.
- Analyse the reliability concept and use of failure tracing methods.
- Identify risks associated with common practices and machinery.
- Evaluate the short-term and long-term effects of risks occurring concerning business productivity.
- Demonstrate the use of quantitative risk assessment techniques.
- Recognise the types of records that must be created and kept up to date for effective risk management.
- Advise others on the ideal processes depending on the level and type of risk.
- Understand the general and advanced requirements for developing safe systems of work.
- Account for local, regional, and international standards for reliability and safe machinery.
This course is designed for anyone with the responsibility of safety considerations within the engineering industry. It would be most beneficial for:
- Process Safety Managers
- Engineering Project Managers
- Operation Managers
- HSE Personnel
- Construction/Site Supervisors
- Construction/Site Managers
- Engineering Directors
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review real-world examples of PSM within engineering companies and projects to highlight areas of risk and possible control measures for them.
They will be supplied with the best equipment in the industry to carry out these learning exercises. The participants will be given ample opportunities to develop their knowledge of the taught subjects through their provided case studies, presentations, practical demonstrations, and activities. They will also be able to create their own risk assessments and analyses relating to risks in their respective roles to practice and demonstrate the learned skills.
