HAZOP Leadership and Management

Overview

The HAZOP Leadership and Management course equips professionals with the essential knowledge and skills required to oversee process safety and operational risk effectively. Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP) are widely used to identify process deviations, assess risks, and prevent failures in complex industrial operations.

This HAZOP Leadership and Management Training strengthens the capability of leaders, facilitators, and team members to conduct comprehensive HAZOP reviews with accuracy and confidence.

It will develop and test the delegates’ knowledge, skills and behaviours for the effective leadership of process safety related HAZOP workshops. The course covers the fundamentals of HAZOP leadership, demonstrating how to apply the theory in practical situations and using real-world examples to illustrate key points.
