About Our Quantitative Risk Assessment in Process Plants  Course

Time Training Center’s 5-day, 30-hour Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) in Process Plants Course equips professionals with the skills to identify, assess, and mitigate risks in complex process plant operations. Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) is a critical methodology used in process plants to evaluate and manage the risks associated with complex industrial operations. This course is designed to equip professionals with the skills to effectively apply QRA techniques to identify, assess, and mitigate hazards in process plant environments. By combining both theoretical and practical approaches, the course enables participants to understand the core principles behind QRA, the role it plays in ensuring safety, and the tools required for successful implementation.

In this program, you will explore the various types of hazards commonly found in process plants, including chemical, mechanical, electrical, and operational risks. Through hands-on exercises and real-world case studies, delegates will gain proficiency in applying quantitative analysis methods to assess the probability and impact of potential accidents and to develop strategies for risk mitigation. Emphasis will also be placed on using QRA as a key component in compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements, such as those defined by OSHA and relevant environmental, health, and safety (EHS) regulations. Upon completion, attendees will be equipped to implement robust risk management practices, improve operational safety, and contribute to the continuous improvement of plant processes.
