Introduction :

    The management of safety of process facilities is of increasing concern to the industry due to the growing pressures of regulation and the need to prevent or reduce losses due to major hazards. Thus, the area of process safety is a rapidly growing field of both research and practice today. It is now a scientific discipline embodying many rigorous and complex technical concepts and theories. Their application in the area of industrial practice so as to improve it is, therefore, a major challenge.

   Several training course modules have been developed (see below) for introducing the relevant concepts to industry personnel, especially those managing process operations and safety. The approach adopted is a practice-oriented with an emphasis on quantitative techniques, wherever necessary. Each module is supplemented by detailed course material which features case studies that illustrate the basic concepts. Hybridized and customized courses can also be made available as required.

 Course Duration :

    The duration of each course module ranges from 2 to 5 days depending on the scope and rigour desired by the organization.

    The titles of the course modules are shown below, while content details are presented in the rest of the document.
