Course description
Human Factors Safety Critical Task Analysis Training
Human Factors is recognized as a key topic for addressing safety in the oil, gas, onshore chemical plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing and power generation sectors.
This course covers all the topics necessary to produce the human factors analyses to satisfy COMAH safety report submissions, together with guidance on producing the associated procedures and competency management documentation based on these analyses.
Key benefits:
- The course is in accordance with the EI guidance document on Human Factors Safety Critical Task Analysis.
