Course description
Advanced Hazard Assessment Techniques for SIL Determination
Management of risk and the demonstration of appropriate risk reduction measures are becoming increasingly important in industry today. This can be relevant to compliance with aspects of legislation, such as COMAH, and in the application of standards such as IEC 61508 and IEC 61511.
This course is designed for those who need to understand the causes and sequence of failure that can lead to significant hazardous events occurring and be able to identify the key contributors to the level of risk - to people, business or the environment.
