Learning
Fault Tree and Event Tree Analysis
Purpose
To enable participants to understand the principles of fault and event tree analysis and to perform their own assessments. The course looks at the development of fault tree and event tree models and populating them with suitable reliability data, human errors and dependent failures. It then considers quantification of the models and how they can be used to evaluate potential improvements.
Who is this for?
Managers, engineers, operators, HSE advisors and risk management practitioners.
Outline content
- Introduction to Fault Tree Analysis
- Fault Tree construction
- Minimal cut sets
