Inherently Safer Design
Inherently Safer Design
This course is designed for professionals who want to enhance process safety by applying Inherently Safer Design (ISD) principles. ISD is a proactive approach aimed at eliminating or significantly reducing hazards at the source. This course provides a comprehensive overview of ISD strategies, techniques, and applications in various industries, helping learners understand how to integrate ISD into their safety and risk management frameworks.
The content is learner-centered with high interconnectedness between learners and instructors. The course would include tasks and world examples relevant for practice, delivered in an interactive and engaging approach. The course design is structured and guided with clear expectations, coupled with knowledge validation aligned with outcome.

More Courses
Process Safety Management (PSM) training is designed for those with a strong interest in the vital and expanding field of process safety. This field is crucial across various energy sources and ensures safety, compliance, and best practices.
Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) is a systematic approach used to examine the effects on the process system and the facility or plant as a whole in the event of a potential deviation from the intended process design and operation, ensuring thorough risk assessment.
Hazard Identification (HAZID) is the first step in the risk assessment process. It identifies foreseeable hazards in a plant or facility and outlines the prevention, control, and mitigation safeguards to manage these risks.
QRA training course is for those with a technical background interested in understanding different aspects of QRA. It allows learners to fully grasp and evaluate the risks from foreseeable Major Accident Hazards (MAH) present in a facility.
The ePSM e-learning program, accessible via LMS, provides a comprehensive understanding of Process Safety Management, emphasizing key elements critical for effective implementation and maintenance
The BRM training program focuses on the hands-on application of Barrier Management using the Bowtiie method. This risk management tool helps visualise the risk profile of MAHs so that various organisational stakeholders can better understand them.
ALARP training covers understanding and applying risk concepts, identifying control options, deciding on risk reduction measures, and grasping “tolerability of risk” and “As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)” principles.
Professional Development Programs
10 professional development programs: Safety Management Systems and Risk Management. Safety Management Systems are in PSM, Occupational Health Safety, Construction, Fire, and Industrial Safety. Risk Management covers safety, technology, and sustainability.
Eight certifications in process safety and risk management: PSM, P&ID, HAZID, HAZOP, ALARP, BRM with Bowties, Intro to Onshore/Offshore Facilities, and Essential Software for Safety Studies.
