Introduction:

The course will introduce the key principles of safety, security and fire management, prevention and control at a primary management level and make delegates aware of and understand the vast range of topics involved in fire, safety and security by reviewing application of risk management to the three elements of fire, safety and security, what needs to be considered in managing fire, safety and security and why it is important that the three elements are managed in a holistic and coordinated manner. Course highlights are:

• Review of operations, maintenance, engineering, inspection, fire safety and security
• Examination of work permits, emergency plans, plant modification controls, emergency shutdown testing and engineering standards
• Assessment of standards of design and construction, layout, process controls, plant condition and housekeeping
• On-site inspection of process units, tankage, utilities, control room, jetty/truck/rail loading, firefighting equipment and security systems

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

• Understand the moral, business and possible legal reasons for putting fire, safety and security as a core activity
• Understand the main concepts of fire, safety and security management
