About
About the Course:
Safety and Risk Management are key issues affecting all staff on offshore production facilities due to the highly volatile nature of the product during production, processing and storage.
OFFSHORE SAFETY & RISK MANAGEMENT FOR THE OIL INDUSTRY is a two day, executive level training course will give you an insight into practical issues facing managers on offshore facilities, including different approaches used worldwide ensuring not only do you meet basic regulatory requirements, but ensure that your team is safe and productive.
Key Learning Objectives:
• Gain an understanding of health and safety requirements for offshore operations
• Identify offshore hazards and risks
• Link reliability to safety in an offshore environment
• Recognise the role of management in good safety regimes
• Apply human factors principles to offshore health and safety
• Benchmark against an analysis of past safety incidents
Who Should Attend?
• All managers working on offshore environments
• Non-safety executives
• Policy Makers in the Petroleum Sector
• Operations Managers
• Installation personnel
• Process engineers
• Recent graduates in the oil industry
• Facilities Manager
• Consultants to the Oil industry
Training Methodology:
The course reviews Hazard, Risk Analysis Techniques and Best Practice Approaches and uses past safety incidents to illustrate the issues. Safety incidents often involve human factors; the role of people must therefore be understood.
This intensive two-day master class will combine tutorial sessions and case studies with interactive learning exercises. All attendees will be provided with a workbook and a certificate of completion. This is an executive briefing and should not be substituted for basic training and accreditation.

Facilitator
Dr John Preedy (UK)
Dr Preedy worked for BP for 28 years as a Research Associate and Team Leader, working on feasibility studies and acting as a “trouble shooter” covering all aspects of BP’s businesses.
These covered field development projects in the North Sea and several novel resource recovery techniques, which were taken from concept to field pilot trials in Canada. His specific work in the offshore area covered subsea robotics/automation, seabed production concepts, seabed excavation methods, underwater repair techniques, flexible riser studies and maintenance cost reductions.
After leaving BP in 1992, he has continued working in the offshore oil industry through Azur Offshore Ltd, including activities in the assessment of emerging and novel technologies, technical and economic audits, deepwater studies, production sharing agreement evaluations, safety and environmental issues. Clients have included Chevron UK, BP Exploration, British Gas, Technomare, Trident Consultants, Fina UK and Cameron France.
In addition, John is responsible for co-ordinating and is the Course Director and Principal Lecturer for the oil industry training courses that Azur Offshore Ltd provides to professional engineers in Europe, USA, SE Asia, Australia and Africa.
Past projects have included Chevron North Sea – safety reviews, Nigeria – production sharing contract reviews, Total’s Otter Field – Subsea Team with FPSO and Tie-Back options, Ivory Coast FPSO – technical reviews, BP Greater Plutonio, Angola – training and operations instruction.
