Course overview

Effective risk assessment is fundamental to protecting businesses against the potentially devastating impact of process safety incidents; in most countries it is also a legal requirement.

This online course describes the processes used to identify, assess and communicate process risks from a safety, environmental or business perspective, from a simple qualitative approach to fully quantified assessments, together with the demonstration that risks are as low as reasonably practicable.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this course, you will understand:

• the concept of process hazard and risk
• the concepts of Tolerability of Risk (TOR) and As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)
• the Hazard Identification (HAZID) technique
• the Bow Tie Diagram
• semi-quantitative risk assessment
• fully quantified risk assessment
• occupied building risk assessment, bow tie analysis, LOPA and fault tree/event tree analysis

Who is it for?

Anyone involved in the risk assessment process including supervisors, managers and directors, plant/process operators including maintenance functions, process safety engineers and loss prevention specialists.
