Process Safety Fundamentals for Refining Operations

This course introduces key process safety principles relevant to refining operations. It covers hazard identification, risk mitigation, safety barriers, and operational control systems to prevent major accidents and support safe plant operations.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Recognize key process safety hazards in refining environments.
• Apply risk assessment tools like HAZID and bowtie analysis.
• Understand layers of protection and safety barrier management.
• Implement operational controls and safe operating procedures.
• Contribute to a strong process safety culture and incident prevention programs.

1. Introduction to Process Safety and Major Accident Hazards
2. Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Tools
3. Layers of Protection and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)
4. Operational Controls, Safe Work Practices, and Procedures
5. Process Safety Culture, Leadership, and Lessons Learned

Operations personnel, process engineers, HSE coordinators, and shift supervisors involved in refinery safety and process hazard management.

Real-life case analysis, risk scenario workshops, safety system walkthroughs, and team simulations.

Participants will develop foundational skills in process safety, enabling them to support risk reduction and safe operations in refining facilities.
