Safety risk management is a key component of a successful organisation that deals with or is exposed to hazardous environments or equipment. It is crucial to such organisations that risks, and safety aspects are evaluated and monitored continuously in a structured manner.

Upon completing this Safety Risk Management Training successfully, participants will be able to:

• Recognise the purpose and benefits of risk and safety management
• Classify and document potential and actual hazards related to facilities and equipment
• Employ the principles of hazard identification and risk assessment to processes and machinery
• Understand the concepts and use of reliability and failure tracing methods
• Display a practical understanding of quantitative risk assessment techniques
• Advise management on the most effective control methods based on your risk assessments
• Identify and comply with the relevant international standards for dependability and machinery safety
