Advanced Risk Analysis And Prevention In The Oil & Gas Industry

Course overview

In practically every industry in the world, workplace security and safety are top priorities, particularly in those that deal with dangerous materials or involve settings that are prone to hazards. Management of operational hazards is crucial for preventing accidents in a dangerous work environment.

In order to facilitate least harm and maximum safety, accurate risk assessments and prior accident investigation reports are reliable sources of knowledge for decision-making in dangerous situations. Particularly in the maritime business, formal risk assessment and management support is needed to protect people, the marine environment, cargo, ships, and other marine vessels.

Risk analysis is a thorough and involved procedure. It starts with identifying potential risks and/or hazards, evaluating their impact, ranking them according to importance and criticality, controlling or putting in place systems to control or minimize their occurrence or effects, and reviewing the control measures and systems put in place to ensure that standards and systems are upheld and followed.

Every time a new position or job is added to an organization, or whenever significant and persistent signals point to a problem someplace, risk assessment should be a continual process. Quantitative risk analysis matrices display the degree of risk associated with every activity or process.

Accident investigation entails capturing key information from the accident scene, gathering information from other sources, analyzing this information to identify the underlying cause, and taking corrective action to lessen the damage and avoid recurrence.

Similar to risk assessment, accident investigation helps to prevent loss of life, property, and money and fosters a safe and secure work environment. To guarantee that the corrective actions put in place are correctly understood and prudently carried out by individuals involved in activities in a hazardous environment, training of staff is essential in both situations.
