CANCELLED | Leadership in Safety and Risk Management Part 2: Methodologies and Tools for Risk Management

11 Mar 2025
Register by February 27, 2025

This course aims to equip participants with the technical expertise necessary for effective risk management within diverse engineering environments. Through comprehensive instruction, it will explore established risk management methodologies and tools utilized across various industries. Core concepts such as risk assessment, mitigation and control strategies, principles of inherent safety, and prevention through design will be thoroughly explored. The course leverages industry expertise and best practices to ensure relevance and applicability to contemporary engineering environments. Practical applications of risk review methodologies and tools will be demonstrated within the context of complex industrial operations across different engineering disciplines. Blending theory with practical application, the course integrates case study analyses and interactive exercises to facilitate active learning. Participants will acquire actionable tools to evaluate and mitigate higher-risk activities within their respective workplaces.

This course is designed for a diverse audience, including members-in-training, early-career professional engineers and geoscientists, and experienced professionals who may not have received formal training or education in safety and risk management within their organizational contexts.

 

Learning objectives

  • explain the value of effectively utilizing risk management tools in the workplace
  • recognize situations where different risk management tools can be used
  • evaluate several risk management tools (root cause analysis, bowtie analysis, what-if analysis, field-level risk assessment, semi-quantitative risk assessment)
  • make the business case for incident investigation in an organization
  • explain the value and process of Prevention Through Design
  • apply a root cause analysis to a case study loss incident
  • apply a semi-quantitative risk analysis tool or bowtie analysis to a workplace environment or case study
  • explain why a risk management system is important to an organization
  • develop corrective action recommendations that address latent causes and risk management system weaknesses

This workshop will be held at the APEGA Edmonton office.
