COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

A Hazard identification (HAZID) study is the method of identifying hazards to prevent and reduce any adverse impact that could cause injury to personnel, damage or loss of property, environment and production, or become a liability. HAZID is a component of risk assessment and management. It is used to determine the adverse effects of exposure to hazards and plan necessary actions to mitigate such risks. 

 

HAZID study takes into account all of the process and non-process hazards. It helps to design and organize the health, safety and environmental issues in an organization. HAZID involves machine or equipment designers, management and end users, and ensures a full identification of hazards and safeguard procedures in a workplace. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of hazard identification, analysis and risk-based decisions. It covers the hazard and risk, accident model, physical and process hazards, the benefits of hazards identification and hazards types by industry; and the hazards through concept of recognition, basic human senses, relationship between senses and higher order processes and what causes hazards? 

 

 

By the end of the course, participants will be able to recognize the influence of human capabilities and limitations on hazard identification by applying visual detection, sound detection, odor detection, touch detection and hazard recognition; determine explosion hazards, chemical hazards, electrical hazards, weather phenomena hazards and other types of hazards; evaluate hazards covering field surveys, pre-job assessments, facility assessments, incident and near-miss reporting, hazard identification and analysis training; carryout HAZID study, HAZID process, HAZID recording and raising effective corrective actions; implement other hazard identification techniques, HAZOP, failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), plant walkdowns/audits, what if analysis and task analysis/job hazard analysis (JHA); employ risk-based decisions and risk ranking procedure; follow-up and call to action; and recognize the importance of managing change, published accident databases and resources, revitalized lessons learned, transfer knowledge and learn from incidents.
