Risk, Reliability and Safety Management for Critical Assets

Asset failure and human harm are usually two views of the same event, yet reliability and safety are managed by separate teams using different language and rarely comparing their lists of critical equipment. This course connects them. Delegates work through criticality assessment that accounts for both production loss and harm potential, failure data and the reliability measures built on it, and the barrier thinking that links a failure mode to a consequence. Quantitative techniques including fault and event trees are covered at a working level. Safety critical equipment and the performance standards that make it verifiable follow. Maintenance strategy for equipment whose failure hurts somebody is addressed. The course closes on integrating the two registers, on shared reporting, and on the decisions where reliability and safety genuinely conflict.

Course objectives

  • Assess criticality for production loss and harm potential together
  • Use failure data to derive reliability measures
  • Link failure modes to consequences through barrier thinking
  • Apply fault and event tree techniques at a working level
  • Define safety critical equipment and verifiable performance standards
  • Set maintenance strategy for equipment whose failure causes harm
  • Integrate the reliability and safety registers, and resolve conflicts

Who should attend

  • Reliability and maintenance engineers
  • Process safety specialists
  • Asset integrity managers
  • Risk engineers
