SUMMARY:Essential Guide to Safety Case Regime
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe Singapore Ministry of Manpower (MoM) plans to introduce a Safety Case regime for high hazard plants in the Process Industry\, using a similar approach to the European Union ‘Seveso’ Directive which has been enacted in the UK as the ‘Control of Major Accident Hazard’ (COMAH) \nRegulations. This legislation places a high demand on those operating hazardous plants to demonstrate that they have taken ‘all reasonable measures’ to prevent major accidents and limit their consequences. \nFor sites holding an inventory of dangerous substances above certain thresholds for flammibility\, toxicity or eco-toxicity\, a key requirement is to write a Safety Case. This document presents a demonstration that all Major Accident Hazards suitable risk controls have been implemented which provide protection throughout the lifecycle of the plant. There needs to be robust management arrangements to support the required level of protection\, covering key elements of a Process Safety Management system. \n  \nPreparation of Safety Cases in the UK follows detailed guidance from the UK Health & Safety Executive (HSE)\, which gives key criteria for information to be included in the Safety Case. This requires prescribed information and demonstrations under the headings; Descriptive Aspects\,\nPredictive Aspects\, Management System\, Technical Measures\, Environmental Aspects and Emergency Planning. This course will provide practical guidance on providing this data to a suitable level of detail\, outlining the need for a multi-disciplinary team and detailed project programme with key milestones. \n  \nA key requirement for Safety Cases is to identify potential Major Accidents and conduct a proportionate risk assessment to demonstrate that ‘all measures necessary’ have been applied. This aspect is fundamental to all the other demonstrations in the Safety Case\, and has resulted in many being rejected by the HSE during the assessment phase. This course will provide a detailed approach for identifying major accidents\, developing a ‘representative set’ of scenarios for the site\, and carrying out a proportionate and quantified risk assessment for these scenarios. The objective is to show that ‘relevant good practice’ has been applied in order to reduce risks to ‘as low as reasonably practicable’ (ALARP). \n  \nWho Should Attend\nThis course has been designed for people likely to be affected by the new Safety Case regime. It will provide a greater understanding for Senior Managers\, Process Safety Professionals and Senior Engineers in the detailed requirements for preparing Safety Cases and the resources\nand timescales likely to be required. \nKey Learning points\n\nGain awareness of the Safety Case regime planned for Singapore\nUnderstand what needs to be included in a Safety Case\nHave insight on a practical approach for identifying and assessing Major Accident Hazards\nUnderstand the significant time and resource requirement to write a safety case\nBe an intelligent buyer of specialist support for aspects of the Safety Case\nImprove awareness of best practices in stringent regimes that can be adopted to meet safety case regulation planned for Singapore.\n\n  \nEndorsed by:

SUMMARY:Prioritizing Data and Information Management for Operations
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nIn the oil and gas industry\, organizations must apply new technologies and processes that will capture and transform raw data into actionable insight to improve asset value and yield while enhancing safety\, reducing risk\, and protecting the environment. One of the challenges the industry faces is “data democratization\,” or making validated data available to decision-makers across several departments\, functions or disciplines in a way that supports meaningful business decisions. Often\, data is in silos or closed systems\, and not easily accessible. This course gives participants hands-on techniques for breaking down those barriers and making data available to decision makers. \nIn today’s “lower for longer” oil price environment\, mission critical data is as likely to come from operational production\, facilities engineering or drilling logistics groups as it had previously from geology\, geophysics and reservoir engineering. This course draws case studies and examples from all the information on how hydrocarbons flow from the reservoir \, through the  well and production facilities\, to the sales point. Better data analysis can help oil and gas companies boost production and improved use of data results in better up-time. \n  \nWho Should Attend\nThis course is designed for professionals whose role is linked to operational data management and include job titles such as: \n\nData managers\nData analysts\nData technicians\nDocument managers\nFacilities data managers and technicians\nEngineering records managers\nEnd users of operational\, facilities and engineering data\nAsset team data managers\nIndustry content providers\nTechnical assistants working with operational data\nData architects\nTechnical librarians for asset teams\nSurface data content managers\nOperational information managers\n\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nManage data as an asset with standard procedures\nLearn how an organization analyses and oversees maintenance of operational data information stores and solutions\nExamine how organizations apply quality management methods to assess\, improve operational data in accordance with industry and organizational business rules\nCommunicate operational aspects and value in a clear and timely manner to align with business strategy\nApply policies\, practices\, and procedures used in operational master data management and compliance\nExecute policies and processes for operational data security management\nUse coordinates and mapping to accurately represent the position of operational assets\n\n  \nEndorsed by:
