Course Overview
Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on chemical exposure prevention both accrue interest. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations is controlled. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations so that teams can disagree productively about it. Participants gain a realistic view of what chemical exposure prevention costs and what it returns. Moving the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations and supervised application. Applied research in energy and hydrocarbon operations consistently shows that early structure around chemical exposure prevention reduces downstream rework. The programme works equally well for those formalising this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The programme closes with an action plan for the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability that each participant writes for their own organisation.
