Course Overview
Risk Assessment
From Hazard Identification to Suitable and Sufficient Assessment
Most safety systems fail at the same point: an assessment that is generic, out of date or unusable at the task face. This course builds genuine command of the method, from structured team techniques and risk scoring through to ALARP demonstration, dynamic reassessment, RAMS writing and the framework that keeps assessments alive across a business.
What You Will Learn
The main objectives of the course are:
- Define what makes an assessment suitable and sufficient.
- Distinguish hazard, risk and consequence precisely.
- Work the five-step risk assessment loop.
- Apply inspection, task and data-driven hazard identification.
- Build and interpret qualitative risk matrices.
- Run quantitative risk assessment and consequence modelling.
- Facilitate HAZID, HAZOP and FMEA studies.
- Construct bow-tie diagrams with preventive barriers.
- Break jobs into steps using job safety analysis.
- Apply the hierarchy of controls to residual risk.
- Demonstrate ALARP and the gross-disproportion test.
- Document, communicate and review assessments and RAMS.
Who Should Enroll
This certificate is designed for risk assessors, HSE officers and advisors, method statement authors, operations and maintenance supervisors, project and process engineers, permit issuers, quality and compliance staff, and managers accountable for signing off risk assessments.
