Risk is a common thread that runs throughout all engineering disciplines. From concept to design, installation to operation, and decommissioning, every engineer faces the challenge of making decisions that take risk into account. In this online course, you’ll learn how to understand and identify hazards in your industry, analyze risk and understand the importance of a comprehensive management system. In addition you will see how Artificial Intelligence is making its way into real applications to improve process safety and in the last of the 6 units in this course you will be introduced to the Codes of Conduct and how professional ethics aid in risk based decision making.
The course starts with an introduction to the basic understanding of Process Safety along with the hazards associated with many different engineering disciplines and industry types. Significant emphasis is placed on a risk-based approach in evaluating and reducing the potential for risk. The business case for process safety is also included in this course. If your goal is making risk-based decisions while reducing the overall risk to your organization and the public at large - take this course!
This course is made possible by UEF and available to the United Engineering Foundations members at no cost.
