Course Description

Make risk-based decisions in a Process Hazard Analysis that work for the project and create value in operation.

Identify, assess and manage risk based on Process Hazard Analysis methodologies practiced by the world’s leading organizations and recognized in IEC and ISA standards.

More than a physical on-site class

Whether you are a process engineer, control room operator or project manager, you’ll be taking your decision-making skills to the next level with this course. Each lesson is designed to be extremely practical, visual and fun. In addition, you can learn the content on your own time rather than in a compressed schedule. You also don’t have to leave your office to attend a physical class, because this course covers all the content and more.

Real world examples and techniques that you can apply tomorrow

Developed by the author of the Process Hazard Analysis Handbook, a TÜV Functional Safety Engineer and IEC 61508 standard committee member, this online course incorporates real world learning from experiences with thousands of practitioners in all types of oil and gas processes around the world. If you’re looking for the best place to apply the powerful techniques of HAZOP, LOPA and SIL studies, start with this course today.

Applied by the biggest corporations

You will be learning how to use the proven HAZOP, LOPA and SIL study methodologies used by successful companies worldwide. Learn the techniques and concepts that are used for both brownfield and greenfield projects. Both project and operation teams have discovered and changed the way they think about process safety.
