Advanced Process Risk Assessment & Risk Management Conference

Course Category : Risk Management

This advanced conference offers a comprehensive, practice-oriented platform for process risk assessment and risk management, combining state-of-the-art methodologies, in-depth consequence analysis, and safety culture enhancement to support safer, more resilient, and high-performing industrial operations.
Duration: 05 Training Days
Level: Advanced

Introduction

Health, safety, and environmental (HSE) management systems rely on a balanced combination of proactive incident prevention and reactive performance monitoring. In high-hazard industries, risk assessment must be systematically applied to all activities that may affect people, production, assets, the environment, and corporate reputation. A structured process for risk assessment and risk management is therefore critical to organisational success.
This advanced conference provides participants with a thorough understanding of process risk assessment and risk management techniques. It covers the full spectrum—from qualitative methods such as HAZOP and FMEA to quantitative approaches such as QRA, fault trees, event trees, and detailed consequence analysis of fires, explosions, and toxic releases. The programme also addresses the role of human factors, advanced incident investigation, and the promotion of a strong safety culture within the HSE Management System.
Through expert-led presentations, interactive workshops, and case-based discussions, participants will enhance their practical skills, deepen their technical knowledge, and gain confidence in applying advanced risk assessment and risk management strategies within their own organisations..
