Quantitative Risk Assessment
QRA Training
The Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) Course is specifically designed for professionals and enthusiasts eager to go into the complexities of risk assessment within the oil, gas, and energy sectors.
SOG Academy’s QRA training course aims to equip participants with the critical skills needed to assess, evaluate, and manage the risks associated with Major Accident Hazards (MAH) in facilities. By integrating the principles of hazard identification, risk analysis, and mitigation strategies, learners will be empowered to foster safer working environments and enhance operational integrity across the industry.
Course Outline
Introduction to Process Safety Management
Overview of the significance of process safety management in the oil and gas industry, setting the stage for a deep dive into Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA).
Hazard Identification (HAZID)
Detailed exploration of methods and techniques for identifying potential hazards within industrial operations, emphasizing the critical first step in risk management.
Fire and Explosion Assessment
This module covers the consequence modeling and frequency assessment of fire and explosion incidents, providing learners with the tools to predict and mitigate the impacts of such events.
Non-Hydrocarbon Hazard Analysis (NHHA)
An in-depth look at hazards not directly related to hydrocarbons but equally critical to the safety of oil and gas operations, including electrical, mechanical, and environmental risks.
Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)
Comprehensive training on conducting QRA, including data collection, risk calculation, and interpretation of results to make informed safety decisions.
Risk Reduction through the ALARP Principle
Strategies for minimizing risk to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) levels, including cost-benefit analysis and implementation of effective safety measures.
Mode of Delivery
The QRA Course leverages a dynamic, learner-centered approach, facilitated through:
- Interactive Online Modules
- Live Virtual Workshops
- Hands-on Case Studies
Who Should Attend
This qra training course is designed for a broad audience, including:
- Process and safety engineers who are involved in the design, operation, and maintenance of oil and gas facilities.
- Risk management professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of QRA and process safety.
- Operational staff and supervisors who are responsible for maintaining safe working environments.
- Regulatory and compliance personnel aiming to ensure industry standards are met.
- Anyone interested in pursuing a career or furthering their knowledge in process safety management within the energy sector.
Duration
4 Weeks
The course is designed to accommodate professionals’ busy schedules. Each week focuses on different core areas of QRA and process safety management, ensuring thorough coverage of the subject matter.

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.
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.
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.
