The Operational Risk Readiness Assessment Training Course, under the specialization ofOperations Readiness and Assurance Training courses, provides comprehensive knowledge and practical skills for evaluating operational risk before facilities, systems, and processes enter or transition into operation. Within the Engineering maintenance and operation category, the course focuses on structured Risk Readiness assessments, operational risk identification, startup hazards, risk mitigation, and assurance practices.
Participants will learn how to assess operational preparedness, identify critical risks, evaluate controls, and integrate risk findings into readiness and assurance processes. The programme also addresses HAZOP integration, operational risk reviews, safety-critical systems, emergency preparedness, risk ownership, action tracking, and evidence-based readiness decisions to support safer and more reliable operational transitions.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Understand the principles and framework of Risk Readiness assessment.
Identify and evaluate operational risk throughout project and startup phases.
Recognise startup hazards and assess their potential operational impact.
Develop effective risk mitigation and control strategies.
Integrate HAZOP findings into operational readiness assessments.
Evaluate the effectiveness of existing operational controls and safeguards.
Establish risk-based readiness criteria and assurance requirements.
Assess personnel, procedures, systems, equipment, and emergency preparedness.
Develop risk registers, action plans, and readiness evidence.
Monitor outstanding risks and verify closure of critical actions.
Improve decision-making through structured operational risk assessments.
Support safe, controlled, and reliable transitions into operations.
