Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Management Competence

Identify hazard as the potential for harm in the workplace, distinguish it from risk, and classify hazards into biological, chemical, stored ergonomic, physical, psychosocial, and safety categories.

Identify and compare physical, biological, chemical, and psychosocial hazards in the workplace, and understand how PPE and work design and management mitigate risks and affect health outcomes.

Define risk and hazard, assess exposure, and evaluate probability and severity to prevent harm, then use hazard identification, risk analysis and evaluation, and risk control to reduce incidents.

Conduct formal, documented risk assessments to identify hazards in the workplace and evaluate severity and probability, guiding proactive safety programs.

Identify hazards by collecting information, inspecting the workplace, and addressing health hazards. Apply the risk assessment approach and the hierarchy of controls to reduce severity and likelihood.

Explore ergonomics as the science of interactions between humans and system elements to optimize well-being and performance, noting ergonomics and human factors are interchangeable.

Identify, evaluate, and control process hazards using a process hazard analysis methodology, addressing past incidents, engineering and administrative controls, human factors, and consequences of control failures by a multidisciplinary team.

Conduct a hazard analysis and operability (hazop) study to review a process systematically, identify deviations, consequences, and safeguards, and reduce risk across continuous or batch processes.

Apply quantitative risk analysis to review design, identify deviations, assess consequences, and implement safeguards, guiding equipment purchases and supplier questions to improve facility safety.

Identify and describe health, safety and environmental hazards early using HAZID, a qualitative technique that guides project decisions by assessing threats, controls, and safety opportunities.

Explore bow tie analysis as a hazard analysis technique that combines fault tree and event trees to link initiating events to accidents and map barriers before and after events.

Use what-if analysis to brainstorm undesired events, identify hazards and safeguards, and propose risk-reducing alternatives; establish baseline data, screen hazards, perform hazard analysis, and rank controls.

Perform hazard identification to alert management early, assessing probability of occurrence and severity of consequences; a qualified team analyzes design, construction, installation and decommissioning sources to produce permanent hazard report.

Identify hazards and assess consequences, identify safeguards, and propose prevention, control, or mitigation, while setting risk screening criteria to guide design, construction, operations, and decommissioning decisions.

Conduct a hazard identification study by gathering project information and blueprints, agreeing on client standards, and forming a study team with a leader, recorder, and defined terms of reference.

Explain the basic chemistry of fire as rapid oxidation of fuel with oxygen, describe the fire triangle and fire tetrahedron, and outline ignition, flames, and classifications (A-F) and extinguishment concepts.

explore fire extinguisher types such as water, foam, powder, co2, and wet chemical, and their suitable fire classes a, b, c, and f, plus how to operate using pass.

Master essential basic first aid procedures, including airway, breathing, and circulation (ABC), rescue breathing, CPR, bleeding control, wound care, and choking relief to provide immediate life-saving care until professionals arrive.

Learn practical first aid procedures for bones, burns, nosebleeds, frostbite, and bee stings, including cooling burns, splinting fractures, elevating injuries, and pain relief protocols.

Explore bow tie analysis as a risk visualization tool that links sources of risk to consequences, detailing controls, escalation factors, and preparedness within risk management.

Explore bow tie analysis methodology to map sources of risk to consequences, detailing sources, likelihood controls, escalation and consequence controls, and a representative bow tie structure.

Identify hazards and top events, analyze threats and scenarios, map consequences, and build a bow tie diagram with preventative and recovery barriers, escalation factors, and responsibility for barrier effectiveness.

Explore hazard and operability study (hazop) as a structured, systematic examination that identifies design and operability risks by reviewing process nodes with a multidisciplinary team using guide word prompts.

Identify, evaluate, and control hazards and risks in complex processes using the hazard and operability study, a structured risk assessment enabling early mitigation during planning and design.

Form a multidisciplinary hazard team to analyze processes and P&ID and op notes, define safe operating limits with guide words, and establish controls, monitoring, and communication for safer operations.

Explore the four-phase hazards and operability study (hazop) process, where a multidisciplinary team defines scope, prepares data, examines process steps, and documents follow-up actions.

Identify hazards and determine the safest way to perform each basic step through a job safety analysis, integrating safety into every task by observation and group input.

Learn how to conduct a job hazard analysis by involving workers, observing the job, breaking it into steps, and identifying hazards and preventive measures, prioritizing high-risk tasks.

Explore the final stage of job hazard analysis: eliminating, substituting, modifying, containing hazards, reducing exposure, implementing personal protective equipment, procedures, and emergency facilities, with ongoing review.

Evaluate high consequence scenarios with layers of protection analysis (LOPA) to determine risk reduction, independence of protective layers, probabilities of occurrence, and severity.

Explore layer of protection analysis (LOPA) II, defining independent protection layers and their probability of failure on demand, and how multiple layers reduce risk.

Explore layer of protection analysis (LOPA) as a quantitative extension of process hazard analysis, using initiating events and independent protection layers to define safety instrumented functions and systems per CCPS.

Explore process hazard analysis within process safety management, identifying hazards and preventing risk pathways in high risk chemical and manufacturing industries, to prevent explosions, fires, and toxic chemical releases.

Conduct a structured process hazard analysis to identify potential causes and consequences of fires, explosions, and releases in chemical plants, operating procedures, equipment, human factors, and external factors.

Assemble a team of engineers, operators, maintenance supervisors, and other staff to lead a process asat analysis and apply bow tie analysis and failure model effects analysis to identify hazards.
