Why Attend

Process safety is becoming increasingly important for maintaining the license to operate. The overall objective for process safety is to eliminate “loss of containment” events that can lead to fires, explosions or toxics being released. Implementation of process safety can result in greater equipment reliability, fewer process upsets, increased safety and fewer environmental incidents. The attendee will learn how the different elements of process safety can be easily developed and implemented for all types of E&P operations.

Who Attends

The course is intended for facility, production and drilling engineers; supervisors and managers involved with the design, construction or operation of production facilities or drilling operations. The course is applicable to all operations including onshore and offshore operations.
