Course Overview
A procedure for pressure vessel and tank safety that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. The cost of an incident involving tank safety lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. What blocks progress on this area of occupational health and safety is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Where pressure vessel and tank safety is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The content is relevant to those who own the practice within occupational health and safety and to those who are held accountable for its results. Every module pairs a short input on tank safety with structured practice on the participant's own material. The programme is built to be used, and every section of pressure vessel and tank safety it covers ends in something applicable. They leave able to brief senior management on tank safety in terms that support a decision. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the wider occupational health and safety agenda rather than a set of notes.

- Identify the hazards in tank safety and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
- Record what was learned when pressure vessel and tank safety did not go as planned.
- Set leading indicators for tank safety that predict rather than count.
Session 2Who answers for tank safety, and to whom
- Test that protective equipment specified for pressure vessel and tank safety fits and is maintained.
- Confirm that controls on tank safety sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
- Audit application of pressure vessel and tank safety controls at the workface.
- Assess long-term health exposure created by tank safety and arrange surveillance.
Tank safety: procedures, permits and practical controls
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Building lasting competence in tank safety
- Verify six months later that changes to pressure vessel and tank safety have held.
- Arrange the handover of tank safety so capability survives staff changes.
- Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to pressure vessel and tank safety.
- Anticipate the objections tank safety will raise and prepare the answers.
Session 2Auditing tank safety in the field rather than in the file
