Course overview
The objective of this course is to deliver a broad level study of risk identification and management in process plant integrity management. Process integrity management (or as often referred to Process Safety Management) is important because accidents in process plants can cause significant casualties and serious financial losses with the potential impact on the community over a wide radius from the plant itself. This course focuses on high consequence and low probability events.
Course learning outcomes

- Assess the severity of the consequences of incidents
- Undertake a Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP)
- Explain the legal framework controlling process plant safety in industrialised countries
- Demonstrate how the root cause of incidents can be investigated and analysed and the various human and technical aspects of such causes
