HAZOP Leadership and Management

Overview

Live online course – from 6 June 2023, 08:00–11:00 AWST/MYT
Alternative dates – from 1 December 2022, 10:00–13:00 GMT.
Also offered face-to-face.

This course is designed to help those experienced in the HAZOP technique to understand best practice in HAZOP leadership and management.  

You will learn how to apply the HAZOP technique, and how to plan and manage study programmes effectively. You will also learn how to lead study teams effectively to ensure successful project execution. Case studies will allow you to undertake a range of project team roles and provide the opportunity to guide a virtual team through the HAZOP process.

Teaching will be delivered via four live sessions (approximately three hours in length each) and pre-recorded video content for independent study.

An e-certificate will be issued to participants who attend all modules and pass an end-of-course assessment. Please note that certification does not act as IChemE HAZOP leader accreditation/endorsement.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this course you will understand how to:

• prepare for a HAZOP study meeting and programme – including defining the scope of the study and choosing the team
• choose nodes (parts of the drawings or operation for HAZOP study)
• estimate the programme requirements for the successful completion of a study
• use facilitation techniques to motivate the team and keep them on task
• avoid common problems encountered during study meetings, including challenging behaviours
