The course will cover the basics of this approach as well as advanced features in the practices and procedures involved in the implementation. Participants will be exposed to current approaches and methodologies used to classify & quantify hazards. The course will provide the technical and leadership skills necessary for decision-making based on the likelihood and consequences of various hazards and is the first step for organizations interested in developing in-house leadership skills in process risk analysis

• To provide participants with a technical and managerial understanding of Process Risk Analysis
• Learn practical ways of using the results of risk analysis to effectively reduce risk by minimizing the consequences and impacts of chemical accidents involving highly hazardous chemicals on people and environment
• Use risk analysis results as one of the inputs in the decision-making process
• Appreciate the strengths, limitations, and possible uses of process risk analysis to support Process Safety Management
• The course aims to impart these principles using practical application of techniques, with industry-related case studies and examples
