Course Summary

Organisations operating in high-hazard, asset-intensive, and safety-critical environments increasingly require professionals who can move beyond foundational frameworks and apply advanced analytical techniques with precision and depth. As systems become more complex and regulatory expectations more demanding, the ability to conduct rigorous risk, reliability, and safety assessments has become essential for ensuring operational integrity and preventing major failures. The Advanced Risk, Reliability & Safety Management Techniques training course is designed for experienced professionals seeking to strengthen their capability in advanced quantitative and qualitative risk analysis across critical industrial sectors.

This training course provides exposure to globally recognised methodologies used in leading organisations across energy, manufacturing, process, infrastructure, and defence industries. Participants develop the ability to integrate advanced risk assessment, reliability engineering, and safety management techniques into governance, asset integrity, and strategic decision-making processes. The Advanced Risk, Reliability & Safety Management Techniques training course enables professionals to enhance technical rigour, improve safety performance, and support risk-informed decision-making at the highest organisational level.

  • Failure data collection, analysis, and the application of Weibull to maintenance optimisation
  • Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD): series, parallel, and complex system configurations
  • RAM (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability) modelling: principles, inputs, and output interpretation
  • Risk-Based Inspection (RBI): API 580/581 methodology, degradation mechanisms, and inspection planning
  • Risk-Based Maintenance (RBM): integrating reliability data into maintenance strategy optimisation
  • Workshop: Weibull analysis and RAM modelling exercise using representative equipment failure data    
Day 4

Human Reliability Analysis & Human Factors Engineering

This day focuses on human error, behaviour, and system interaction in high-risk environments. Participants examine structured methods for analysing human reliability. The topics covered will include:  

  • Human factors in major accident causation: lessons from process safety incidents
  • Human error taxonomy: slips, lapses, mistakes, and violations in operational contexts
  • Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) methodologies: THERP, HEART, and ATHEANA
  • Task analysis: hierarchical task analysis (HTA) and its application in HRA
  • Human factors engineering in system design: controls, displays, alarms, and procedures
  • Organisational and management factors: safety culture, workload, fatigue, and team dynamics
  • Workshop: human reliability analysis exercise applied to a high-consequence operational task   
Day 5

Process Safety Management, Safety Cases & Advanced Integration

This day integrates all advanced methodologies into process safety management and governance systems. Participants focus on safety cases and major accident prevention. The topics covered will include:  

  • Process Safety Management (PSM) systems: US OSHA PSM 1910.119 and EU Seveso III Directive requirements
  • Safety case development: purpose, structure, content requirements, and regulatory submission
  • Major Accident Hazard (MAH) identification, assessment, and bow-tie development at an advanced level
