Training Course Overview
This Risk, Reliability & Safety Management training course offers a comprehensive approach to understanding and mitigating risks across operational environments. By examining failures and disasters from real-world case studies, participants will gain valuable insights into the systemic weaknesses that lead to crises and learn methods to prevent recurrence. The course delves into practical techniques in risk assessment, operational research, reliability engineering, and decision-making processes to reinforce safety management frameworks. A special focus is placed on the dynamics of high-reliability organizations (HROs) and how their best practices can be adapted to various sectors. In addition to technical competencies, participants will strengthen their people management skills and learn how to enhance reliability through structured quality audits and benchmarking. Through scenario analysis and critical evaluation, this training course prepares professionals to lead initiatives in performance improvement, reliability assurance, and risk control, fostering safer and more resilient operational environments.
MODULES
This training course is split into two modules:
MODULE I - Case Studies for Learning from Major Incidents – Towards an Operational Excellence
MODULE II - Advanced Risk, Reliability & Safety Management Techniques
Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.
Training Course Objectives
This Risk, Reliability & Safety Management course aims to equip professionals with the practical expertise to apply reliability and safety strategies and assess operational vulnerabilities using real-life case studies. By the end of the course, participants will be prepared to identify best practices and implement safety improvements across different industries.
- Learn to distinguish best and poor practices through failure-based case study analysis
- Gain industry-relevant competencies for roles in safety, reliability, maintenance, and quality
- Understand the value of adopting High Reliability Organization (HRO) practices
- Identify effective performance metrics and how to apply them
- Critically assess current methodologies and develop improvement strategies
