Introduction
Safety and Risk Management requires a twin approach of following the legislative standards and seizing the opportunities available in good risk management. Risk management is the identification assessment and prioritisation of risk and then monitor and control such risks. Offshore hazards include the hazards of vessel, working over water and diving operations. Safety Management is applicable in all companies whether by following an accredited Safety Management System or by purely following a Hazard Register with the appropriate Risk Assessments.
Additionally, the course will cover confined space entry and safe shift handover two areas that are continually the cause of incidents and loss.
This course will feature:
- Risk Management
- Hazards of Vessels
- Safety Management Systems
- An Introduction to HAZOP
- Confined Space Entry
Objectives
Participants attending the course will:
- Understand the legal background to Offshore Safety
- Appreciate what risk management is about
- Hazards of Vessels & Working over Water
- Gain knowledge about the elements of a Safety Management system
- Evaluate hazardous material
- Understand the hazards of confined space entry
Training Methodology
Participants will learn by active participation during the course through the use of exercises, case studies and open discussion forums. Videos shown will encourage further discussions. The course will be run using power point slides, copies of which will be distributed both in hard and soft format.
