Objectives
At the end of the course, students are expected to have basic knowledge about:
- what are types of consequences and what kind of consequences can be calculated using RBI methodology
- what is the scope of this calculation, models and required data for calculation
- applicability, advantages and constrains of Level 1 and Level 2 calculation of consequences
- steps in calculation of consequences of failure at Level 1 and 2, as defined by API 581, including premises and assumptions
Target Attendees / Participants
The course is dedicated to:
- professionals who wish to deepen their knowledge in the field of risk based inspection
- other professionals dealing with risk and safety in industry
- individuals with previous experience in the field of risk based inspection, but willing to extend their knowledge and take up new roles in this field within their companies.
