Participants attending the programme will:

• Be familiar with key safety Codes of Practice introduced by major organizations, with particular reference to the Control of Major Accidents Hazards `COMAH` for onshore installations.
• Develop an awareness of the key elements for implanting the Safety Case concept for fixed and mobile offshore installations.
• Appreciate the role of Incident Root-cause Analysis and best practice used for promoting positive safety culture based on methodologies implemented by major organizations.
• Be able to carry out Task-based risk assessments that focus on human error and management systems failure.
• Develop skill in the application of Projects Health; Safety & Environmental Reviews ` best practice, by linking this review with the Capital Value Process `CVP` and the Management System.
• Develop skills in target setting, planning, implementing and measuring performance.

The Process

Participants will learn by active participation during the programme through the use of exercises, syndicate and group discussion, training videos and discussions on relevant types of accidents and "real life" issues in their organisations.

The Benefits

Attendees will be able to develop practical skills learnt from this training to achieve excellence in solving problems.

The Results

In addition to the professional development of staff, the organization should be able to priorities resources to demonstrate that process risks are adequately identified, analyzed and controlled, based on best practice.
