Advanced Risk and Incident Analysis

An essential part of risk and incident analysis is to provide management with decision making criteria for determining and subsequently establishing an organisation’s range of acceptable, tolerable, and unacceptable risk category levels for the effective management of all their significant health, safety, and process risks. Such tools are essential for avoiding major industrial incidents that can result in death, destruction, and commercial losses.

Duration:       5 Days

Target Audience

• Management and those with responsibilities for analysing risks and incidents.
• Production, process, maintenance, and HSE personnel
• Line management involved in planning and / or implementing the organisation’s risk and incident analysis programmes.

Objectives

At the end of the course, the participants will be able to:

• Gaining an appreciation of risk and incident analysis techniques
• Understanding the role and the importance of “Barriers” in avoiding incidents and mitigating their consequence
• Identification of potential plant, process, and work task related risks
• Developing and implementing Risk Management programmes
• Understanding how to carry out comprehensive incident analysis using evaluation tools, including root cause analysis (RCA)
• Appreciating the roles of Leading and Lagging Indicators in incident avoidance
• Develop skills for analysing new and existing risk control measures and improving incident analysis techniques of pre and post risk and incident management arrangements.
