Course Overview
Almost every serious incident involving high-pressure process safety was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. The cost of an incident involving the wider occupational health and safety agenda lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this area of occupational health and safety, not for observers of it. Buying a tool rarely fixes high-pressure process safety; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. It treats the practice within occupational health and safety as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the wider occupational health and safety agenda is rarely technical. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a safety procedure for high-pressure process safety as they go. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this part of occupational health and safety. Participants leave with a plan for this aspect of occupational health and safety sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.

Course Modules
High-pressure process safety: procedures, permits and practical controls
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Rescue arrangements for high-pressure process safety that have been rehearsed
- Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for high-pressure process safety, do not just publish it.
- Identify the hazards in high-pressure process safety and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
- Check that high-pressure process safety still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
- Plan the sequence in which improvements to high-pressure process safety will be introduced.
Session 2Where high-pressure process safety typically breaks, and why
- Set leading indicators for high-pressure process safety that predict rather than count.
- Anticipate the objections high-pressure process safety will raise and prepare the answers.
- Set out the decisions in high-pressure process safety that require sign-off and by whom.
- Prepare the response for the most likely failure in high-pressure process safety.
High-pressure process safety: contractors and shared workplaces
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Checking that protective equipment for high-pressure process safety actually protects
- Close out corrective actions on high-pressure process safety with a named owner and date.
- Apply management of change to any modification affecting high-pressure process safety.
- Agree the smallest change to high-pressure process safety that would be visibly useful.
- Investigate the last incident involving high-pressure process safety to root cause, not to immediate cause.
Session 2The permit regime high-pressure process safety needs, and the one it does not
- Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in high-pressure process safety is current.
- Record what was learned when high-pressure process safety did not go as planned.
- Close out actions on high-pressure process safety rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for high-pressure process safety.
High-pressure process safety: reporting, investigation and root cause
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Reading the current state of high-pressure process safety honestly
- Name a single owner for each element of high-pressure process safety.
- Confirm that controls on high-pressure process safety sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
- Check that lessons from high-pressure process safety reached other sites doing similar work.
- Check the procedure for high-pressure process safety against how the work is actually done.
Session 2The exposure from high-pressure process safety that shows up years later
- Identify single points of dependency in high-pressure process safety and reduce them.
- Agree what will be standardised in high-pressure process safety and what will not.
- Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in high-pressure process safety.
- Assess long-term health exposure created by high-pressure process safety and arrange surveillance.
High-pressure process safety: emergency response and rescue
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Making near-miss reporting on high-pressure process safety safe to do
- Arrange the handover of high-pressure process safety so capability survives staff changes.
- Benchmark the organisation's high-pressure process safety against comparable operations.
- Build the internal briefing that explains high-pressure process safety to those affected.
- Ask the people doing high-pressure process safety what makes the procedure hard to follow.
Session 2Testing high-pressure process safety before relying on it
- Test the procedure for high-pressure process safety against a realistic scenario.
- Make the reporting route for hazards in high-pressure process safety short and non-punitive.
- Verify permits covering high-pressure process safety are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
- Test that protective equipment specified for high-pressure process safety fits and is maintained.
