This includes understanding the principles behind each of the major PHA methods (HAZOP, What-if? , Checklist, FMEA), learning how to deal with challenging personalities within the PHA team, and how to avoid common pitfalls and traps so PHA studies run smoothly.
Price: $2,200 CDN
SIL Determination/ LOPA Workshop
http://www.acm.ca/course.aspx?menu_id=16&id=502 Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada April 21-22, 2014 This 2-day course is designed to deliver expert instruction on how to successfully plan and execute Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Determination studies efficiently, effectively and in accordance with the IEC 61511 standard. This includes understanding the principles behind three of the most commonly used SIL Determination methods (Layer of Protection Analysis, Calibrated Risk Graph and Safety Layer Matrix), learning how to deal with challenging personalities within the SIL team and how to avoid common pitfalls and traps so studies run smoothly.
Price: $1,850 CDN
SIL Validation Workshop
http://www.acm.ca/course.aspx?menu_id=16&id=500 Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada April 23-24, 2014 This 2-day course is designed to provide students with the tools necessary to perform SIL Validation studies compliant with the IEC 61511 standard. The practical course uses real life examples to demonstrate to students how to conceptually design multiple Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) to meet the specified safety integrity levels.

Process Hazard Identification and Awareness
Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada By understanding of the basic types of hazards, participants will be able to conduct effective workplace hazard assessments and develop mitigations to reduce or eliminate them. Common process hazards will be examined in detail.
Understanding Fires and Explosions
Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada A loss of containment in a hydrocarbon process often results in a fire and or explosion and represents a significant threat to life, the environment and assets. Using case studies this one day course will provide basic knowledge of hydrocarbon fires and explosions. Note: the aspects of emergency response or the application of safeguards are not covered.
Control of Hazardous Energy
Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada While there are several effective methods for controlling a variety of hazardous energy associated with potentially harmful machines, equipment, and processes, lockout is recognized as the primary method. In this 1-day, interactive course we review the important aspects of CSA Z460 Control of Hazardous Energy – Lockout and other Methods.
