COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of safety in process design. It covers the implementation of safety concepts, methods and standards in process design including redesign of existing processes for safety considerations; managing process safety including risk and process hazard analysis; and minimizing the risk of process hazards in the design of oilfield processing equipment and facilities. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the various types of corrosion; the different types of health hazards including chemical hazards, noise, radiation, thermal stress; the evaluation of reactive chemical hazards by using experimental screening, reaction hazard index and hydro-peroxide; the equipment design and operation; the strategies to prevent fires and explosions; and the issues associated with the process design of a facility and in developing “inherently safer” designs. 

 

 

During this interactive course, partcipants will learn to eliminate hazards through process design; identify human error including unintentional errors, misleading information and poor design; improve the techniques used in the modification process used in process design; apply the various methods in the prevention of incidents; employ risk assessment as applied in process design and recognize its importance; and demonstrate how process design, management of change, and inadequate safeguards have all contributed to major accidents.
