PROCESS SAFETY ENGINEERING

Course Code: EM 78

 

Course Objective

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

  • describe the overall production chain and explain main techniques and equipment used in the Oil & Gas facilities,
  • detail process safety elements and purpose,
  • describe process safety management roles and responsibilities,
  • contribute to process hazard analysis studies, events analysis and investigation reporting and monitoring,
  • develop leadership techniques to enhance safety culture in the organization.

 

Target Audience

  • Anyone who needs to work with process safety engineers; this would include facilities engineers, operations and maintenance supervisors, project engineers and managers, entrylevel process safety engineers, experienced professionals new to oil and gas, and anyone who needs a general understanding of the breadth of the process safety engineering discipline. Technical staff from insurance companies and regulatory agencies have found the course useful.
