    Course Summary

    This course is delivered face-to-face exclusively for your company. It is ideal for organisations that want to train multiple employees together, rather than joining a public class with participants from other organisations. The in-company format can be run at your site or a location of your choice.

    This course is a combination of a 2-day EFFECTS course and a 1-day RISKCURVES course.

    The “EFFECTS training” is aimed at introducing the principles of consequence modelling, the EFFECTS user interface, and giving an overview of all the models available within the software: release, pool evaporation, fire, explosion, dispersion, damage, and combined models. The training provides a general theoretical background that is consolidated with multiple practical exercises that will be elaborated during the training.

    The “RISKCURVES training” follows the EFFECTS training and provides information about what a “Quantitative Risk Assessment” (QRA) actually consists of, which risk criteria can be used, and of course how to conduct it using RISKCURVES. The training provides extensive information regarding RISKCURVES’ functionality and how to apply the software in QRA studies.

    Organisational Benefits

    In addition to the professional skill development of staff, the organisation will have the capability to utilise the comprehensive consequence modelling tool, EFFECTS, and its associated QRA tool, RISKCURVES. These tools will assist in carrying out safety-related studies effectively and accurately, including:

    • Process hazard analysis (HAZID, HAZOP, etc.)
    • Risk management (QRA, hazardous area classification, etc.)
    • Regulatory compliance (ATEX/ DSEAR, LPG Compliance Audits, etc.)
    • Modelling studies (explosion, dispersion, ventilation, and fire and smoke modelling studies, gas detector layout optimisation, etc.)

    Attendees Professional Benefits

    Attendees will be able to use EFFECTS and RISKCURVES for process safety-related projects, which includes:

    • Development of new skills and knowledge
    • Development of competency to carry out various process safety-related studies
    • Ability to come up with recommendations on safety-related studies
    • Ability to practice risk planning and mitigation
