Operational Risk Management HAZOP

This DIXONTECH course provides an in-depth understanding of Operational Risk Management (ORM) and Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP) for process safety and reliability. Participants learn to identify, assess, and control operational risks in line with international standards such as ISO 31000 and IEC 61882. The training emphasizes structured methodologies, risk scenario analysis, and multidisciplinary teamwork to enhance safety performance and minimize operational disruptions.

TRAINING TOPICS

• Fundamentals of Operational Risk Management

• Principles and Objectives of HAZOP

• Identifying and Classifying Process Hazards

• Risk Assessment and Control Techniques

• Integration of ORM and HAZOP in Safety Systems

BY THE END OF THIS TRAINING COURSE, DELEGATES WILL BE ABLE TO:

• Conduct structured HAZOP and risk studies

• Recognize and classify operational hazards

• Develop preventive and corrective risk controls

• Integrate ORM practices into daily operations

• Lead effective HAZOP workshops

• Apply ISO and IEC standards to risk management

• Improve operational safety and reliability

TRAINING IS TAILORED TO:

• Process Engineers and Plant Managers

• Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Officers

• Risk and Compliance Professionals

• Maintenance and Reliability Engineers

• Project and Operations Managers

• Safety Auditors and Consultants

• Quality and Performance Managers

TRAINING METHODOLOGY

Through lectures, group discussions, and real case simulations, participants engage in applied learning using process flow diagrams, deviation tables, and risk matrices. DIXONTECH employs interactive exercises and HAZOP role-play workshops to ensure that participants master both technical and managerial aspects of operational risk analysis and control.
