Course Description
Many accidents occur because workers simply failed to recognize a hazard – until it was too late. This 1-day course teaches workers how to recognize hazards and how to reduce risk as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). It is intended to give workers practical technical knowledge so they can effectively implement self-checking protocols such as STOP, Take Two, or STAR.
Course highlights include:
- An introduction to risk-based judgments
- A review of major accidents with emphasis on the missed opportunities to recognize and control the hazards
- A comprehensive review of hazard categories that should be considered, including chemical energy, electrical energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, and self (muscular) energy with workplace examples of each
- A discussion of effective hazard control strategies, ranging from inherently safer designs, engineered controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment
- A discussion of error–likely situations that promote human error and ways to improve worker performance
Short exercises are integrated throughout the course to give the class practical experience with the concepts presented.
At the conclusion of this course, the student will be well equipped to:
- Identify hazards in the workplace
- Select and implement effective controls
- Design better systems
- Participate more effectively in hazard analyses, management of change reviews, and incident investigations
A working knowledge of process safety concepts, principles, and tools is essential for those who design, operate, and maintain hazardous systems.
In this course, students will learn:
Basic process safety terminology (flammability limit, risk, design basis relief scenario)
How to identify hazards
Frequently encountered oversights (booby traps) in process designs
How to select appropriate levels of protection against a hazard
How to reduce human error
