This course is tailor-made for anyone with a strong interest in the growing field of process safety, which is an essential consideration in a diverse range of energy sector industries from petrochemicals, oil and gas field development, mining, fertilisers, etc. This course will give learners an overview of process safety, risks posed by process hazards and available techniques for managing risks.

SOG’s Process Safety Management (PSM) course examines the following five critical aspects:

1. Introduction to Process Safety
2. Process Safety Culture
3. Process Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment
4. Managing Process Safety Risks
5. Review and Improvement

The content is learner-centred, with high interconnectedness between learners and instructors. The course would include tasks and world examples relevant to practice, delivered in an interactive and engaging approach. The course design is structured and guided with clear expectations and knowledge validation aligned with the outcome.

This course is tailor-made for anyone interested in understanding the different aspects of Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) to allow the learner to assess and evaluate the risk arising from all foreseeable Major Accident Hazard (MAH) identified within a facility.

SOG’s QRA Training course examines the following five critical aspects:

1. Hazard Identification (HAZID)
2. Fire and Explosion Assessment (consequence modelling & frequency assessment)
3. Non-Hydrocarbon Hazard Analysis (NHHA)
4. Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)
5. Risk Reduction through the ALARP principle

The content is learner-centred, with high interconnectedness between learners and instructors. The course design is structured and guided with clear expectations and knowledge validation aligned with the outcome.

This course provides learners with the knowledge to understand and implement practical Basic Risk Assessments within the workplace. Risk Assessment is a practical and systematic methodology employed globally, especially within the energy/processing industry. Learn from experienced technical safety practitioners about how risk assessment can transform your organisation. 

This course answers and address several important issues: 

1. What are the hazards and risks?
2. What are the hazards applicable to your facility? 
3. Who/what can be harmed? 
4. How likely are hazards to occur?
5. How can we categorise our hazards? 
6. How can we prevent the hazards from happening?
7. How can we minimise the effects or recover from the hazards?
8. How effective are our risk control barriers?

This course comprises one day of classroom-style tuition with practical example exercises to illustrate the key concepts. Participants will also be guided through a mock Risk Assessment workshop exercise where they will be able to put into practice all the knowledge from this course.

This training focuses on the hands-on application of the Barrier Management Course or a BowTie diagram, an established risk assessment tool to create an easy-to-understand visual risk picture that all levels of the organisation can understand. The BowTie diagram has been applied throughout numerous industries worldwide, such as Oil & Gas, Mining, Aviation, Healthcare, Chemical Processing, Maritime, Rail Transport and Business/IT services.

This course comprises two days of classroom-style tuition and practical guidance in using the BowTieXP software. This course includes a fundamental overview of the risk management process and the critical role BowTies can play in defining and managing the safety barriers.

Practical exercises will be performed throughout the course based on real-life examples by expert software practitioners. Participants will also be guided step by step through developing BowTies and provided with practical advice on implementing BowTies within their specific organisation.

Hazard identification (HAZID) is the first step of the risk assessment process and functions to identify and assess/suggest appropriate prevention, mitigation and control measures for hazards present within a plant or facility. The HAZID review will also evaluate the adequacy of safeguards available and propose additional safeguards where deficiencies are identified. The effectiveness of the HAZID approach is highly dependent upon the expertise of the personnel involved in the HAZID review. 

This course will give learners an overview of the HAZID methodology process, key roles expected of the participants, and commonly employed reporting methods. This course’s content is learner-centric, emphasising practical knowledge sharing by experienced instructors who have facilitated numerous HAZID workshops.

Upon completion of the training, learners will be able to:

1. Understand the importance of clearly defined hazards specific to a given facility and the potential benefits
2. Learn common approaches employed to carry out hazard identification (HAZID)
3. Recognize the role which they play as individuals within the HAZID process to maximise its effectiveness
4. Learn means to categorise hazards, especially identification of Major Accident Hazard (MAH)
5. Understand key outcomes from HAZID studies

With the ever-increasing complexity of industrial processes, it is more important than ever to have effective solutions for determining hazards, increasing plant safety and reliability, and reducing maintenance costs. Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) is a systematic approach used to examine the consequential effects on the system, equipment, and facility as a whole in the event of a potential deviation from the intended process design and operation. The effectiveness of the HAZOP approach is highly dependent upon the expertise of the personnel involved in the HAZOP review. 

This course will give learners an overview of the HAZOP methodology process, key roles expected of the participants, and commonly employed reporting methods. This course’s content is learner-centric, emphasising practical knowledge sharing by experienced instructors who have facilitated numerous HAZOP workshops.

Upon completion of the training, learners will be able to:

1. Understand the benefits of conducting HAZOP and the situations in which it can be most relevant
2. Familiarize themselves with the typical methodology employed during HAZOP
3. Recognize the role which they play as individuals within the HAZOP process to maximise its effectiveness
4. Conduct reporting on HAZOP studies

This self-paced eLearning course on Process Safety Management is positioned at the awareness/introductory level. This course will take approximately 4-hours and is intended to give participants an understanding of crucial constituent parts of adequate Process Safety Management arrangements and how they operate.
