The Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development adopts the latest scientific and professional methodologies in training and human resource development, aiming to enhance the efficiency of individuals and organizations. Training programs are delivered through a comprehensive approach that includes:

• Theoretical lectures supported by PowerPoint presentations and visual materials (videos and short films).
• Scientific evaluation of participants before and after the program to measure progress and knowledge acquisition.
• Brainstorming sessions and practical role-playing to simulate real-life scenarios.
• Case studies tailored to align with the training content and participants work nature.
• Assessment tests conducted at the end of the program to evaluate the achievement of training objectives.

Each participant receives the training material (both theoretical and practical) in printed form and saved on a CD or flash drive. Detailed reports, including attendance records, final results, and overall program evaluations, are also provided.

Training materials are prepared professionally by a team of experts and specialists in various fields. At the end of the program, participants are awarded a professional attendance certificate, signed and accredited by the Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development.

Program Timings:

• 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in Arab cities.
• 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM in European and Asian cities.

The program includes:

• A daily buffet provided during the sessions to ensure participants comfort.

Introduction

With the increasing complexity of industrial operations, occupational safety and risk analysis have become essential pillars for ensuring the protection of personnel, assets, and the environment. This course integrates the foundational principles of OSHA with advanced process hazard analysis techniques such as HAZOP and QRA. It is designed to equip professionals with comprehensive knowledge and practical tools to proactively manage safety and prevent incidents in high-risk industries.

General Objective

To enable participants to understand and apply occupational safety systems and advanced operational risk analysis methods to reduce incidents and maintain a safe and efficient working environment.

Specific Objectives

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Understand the basic principles of occupational safety based on OSHA standards.
• Identify unsafe behaviors and conditions in the workplace.
• Conduct Job Safety Analysis (JSA) and prepare incident investigation reports.
• Lead accident investigation processes and determine root causes.
• Apply first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques.
• Understand risk assessment methodologies: qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative.
• Apply HAZOP methodology for hazard identification and analysis.
• Facilitate HAZOP sessions and manage team dynamics effectively.
• Analyze potential consequences of industrial incidents such as fire, explosions, and toxic releases.
• Utilize event and fault tree analysis tools in Quantified Risk Assessments (QRA).

Target Audience

• Safety, Health, and Environment (SHE) managers and supervisors
• Process and operations engineers
• Risk management and quality assurance professionals
• HAZOP team members and safety analysts
• Staff working in oil, gas, chemical, and heavy industries

The Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development is committed to hosting all training programs in dedicated and well-equipped hotel facilities specifically designed for conducting and delivering training sessions, unless explicitly stated otherwise on our website. Participants will be notified of the program venue within 7 to 21 days prior to the programs start date, based on the Academys assessment and the programs circumstances. The Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development emphasizes that it holds no responsibility for any force majeure events that may prevent the program from being held at the designated venue. Nevertheless, the Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development will make every effort to provide suitable alternatives and extend the necessary support to participants in the event of a venue change due to unforeseen circumstances.
