Key learning outcomes

Master the Fundamentals of QRA

Understand the principles of Quantitative Risk Assessment, including probabilistic risk analysis, failure mode effects analysis (FMEA), and the use of statistical models to quantify and prioritise risks.

Implement Barrier Risk Management (BRM)

Gain expertise in identifying, evaluating, and managing barriers that prevent or mitigate risks. Learn to apply the Bowtie method to visualise and manage barriers effectively.

Integrate QRA and BRM for Optimal Risk Management

Learn how to combine QRA and BRM to develop a comprehensive risk management strategy that is both quantitative and proactive. Understand the interplay between assessing risks and implementing barriers.

Apply Industry-Specific Case Studies

Engage with real-world case studies from industries such as energy, aerospace, and transportation to see how QRA and BRM are applied in practice. Learn from both successes and lessons learned in high-risk environments.

Develop Actionable Risk Management Plans

Leave the course with the skills to create and implement actionable risk management plans that can be tailored to your organisation’s needs.

This course is delivered in partnership with Synergen OG.

Who should attend?

This course is aimed at anyone with a strong desire to develop their understanding of quantitative risk assessment process safety and personnel at all organisational levels with an emphasis on operational/maintenance supervisors, facilities engineers, design personnel and workforce members with responsibility for site safety.
