Human Reliability Analysis

28 April 2025

Online / Crewe

Have you made your operator tasks as safe as possible? Can you demonstrate that? The competent authority expects major accident hazard sites to take all measures necessary to prevent and mitigate the consequences of major accidents. This includes Human Factors, and applies to warehousing, distribution, blending, etc, at upper and lower tier COMAH sites. Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) is a qualitative approach used to identify potential human failures that may occur when a task is undertaken, identify and categorise the types of human failure, the consequences of those failures, and develop actions to reduce the likelihood and/ or mitigate the consequences of a failure. This course will introduce the concepts and methodology of an HRA as it is applied to safety critical tasks – those tasks associated with a site’s major accident hazard where any error in the execution of the task may potentially result in a major accident hazard. By the end of the course, candidates will be able to undertake simple HRAs, or to usefully contribute to more complex HRAs led by a Human Factors practitioner, and be an intelligent customer of Human Factors services. The course will be delivered in the context of chemical businesses, drawing on relevant case studies and industry specific experience.

DGSA 2- Day Refresher June 2025

2 June 2025  to 3 June 2025

Crewe / Online

The five-year gap between DGSA requalification’s and the fact that most people only use very specific provisions on a day-to-day basis often means that candidates are less prepared than they would like.   To aid those considering requalification, the Chemical Business Association has designed a two-day workshop to update and refresh all aspects of the ADR chapters and provide specific exam guidance and question practice.   The exam is an ‘open book’ format and so all the information necessary is at the candidate’s fingertips. However, candidates also need to understand ‘how to apply the knowledge’, ‘what the markers will be looking for’ and ‘how to reference the answers’
