About Our Offshore Safety & Risk Management Course

Time Training Center’s 5-day, 30-hour Offshore Safety & Risk Management Course equips you with the knowledge and practical skills to identify, assess, and control risks in offshore operations. Operating in offshore environments presents a complex array of safety challenges, from vessel operations and diving activities to working over open water and managing confined spaces. These dynamic and often hazardous conditions demand a robust safety and risk management framework that integrates regulatory compliance with practical, on-the-ground strategies to prevent incidents and safeguard personnel, assets, and the environment.

This comprehensive course on Offshore Safety & Risk Management provides participants with the knowledge and tools required to effectively identify, assess, and control risks across offshore operations. Emphasis is placed on understanding international safety legislation, developing and implementing Safety Management Systems (SMS), and applying risk assessment methodologies. The course also explores specialised topics, including HAZOP studies, emergency response protocols, hazardous materials management (HAZMAT), and best practices in confined space entry and gas testing.

Through case studies, practical exercises, and scenario-based discussions, participants will enhance their ability to anticipate and mitigate offshore risks, improve existing safety systems, and cultivate a culture of continuous safety improvement. This training is designed to empower professionals with the capability to drive both safety excellence and operational efficiency across offshore environments.
