In oil and gas industry, plant operation involves long hours, large equipments and sometime hazardous materials. Major hazard incidents which involve the release of hazardous process material from plants have the potential to kill people and also damage the environment. This course intends to highlight methods of identifying, analyzing and quantifying these hazards or risks and suggests ways to avoid or at least, minimize them. The task of making Safety works involves the right approach and attitude from top level management to lower level operators. Therefore this course hopefully will be beneficial to all who attends. This course provides an integrated approach to managing a process and human to achieve maximum safety at work. The techniques for analyzing the risk are simple and practical. Above all, the solutions offered cover a wide range of practical schemes to achieve maximum safety with values for money.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Recognize safety, health and environmental regulations
• Understand the concept of safety and risk in oil & gas industry
• Carryout Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)
• Use Hazard Identification methods such as Mond Index, Concept Hazard Analysis, Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) and Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP)
• Use Hazard Analysis method such as Fault Tree and Event Tree Analysis

This course is intended for process designers, chemical engineers, technologists, chemists, scientists, managers, rig technicians and plant operators
