It included procedure development for internal risk assessment activities, various techniques in conducting risk assessments (such as fault tree analysis, event tree analysis and Hazop) as well as qualitative risk assessment. The 16 participants were engaged in actual plant visits to conduct risk assessments, followed by group discussions on the findings and the development of corrective actions.

RRC ME have developed a partnership with OMIFCO to help develop and further their safety standards and held several basic safety training courses last year at the OMIFCO plant. This is an on-going programme that both parties are happy to see progress and positive results have already been identified.
