TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Engineer Training Programme: Process Hazard & Risk Analysis
Controlling risks within high hazard industries requires a robust process safety management (PSM) system and the experienced application of process hazard and risk analysis (PH&RA) techniques. This course covers the fundamentals of Process Safety Management, demonstrating how to apply theory in practice, using simple and more complex examples to illustrate key points.
This PH&RA course is part of the TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Training Programme. Eligible participants who successfully pass the examination will receive a FS Engineer (TÜV Rheinland) Certificate.
