IChemE’s ‘Inherent Safety in Design and Operation Development’ training course – held in Rugby from 25-26 September 2018 – provide users with a greater understanding of the concept of inherent safety, including the main principles, barriers, tools, measures, limitations and benefits of seeking to eliminate hazards completely.
Significant resources are invested in the daily management, control and mitigation of risks in the chemical and process industries.
However, avoiding or reducing hazards is inherently safer than controlling them and benefits and efficiencies can be achieved by promoting, understanding and creating a more inherently safer working environment for new and existing facilities.
Unlike other risk management strategies, inherent safety seeks to remove hazards at source, rather than control or mitigate the hazard.
Those attending the course will learn:
- how to identify the principles of inherent safety
- how to promote an inherent safety message throughout organisations
- how inherent safety forms part of a wider safety management system.
