Course Goal: This course aims toprovide learners with an overview of industry best practice associated with pressure vessel inspection

 

Learning Objectives:

LO1 Define what is meant by a ‘pressure vessel’

LO2 Give examples of pressure vessels

LO3 Identify the factors that can cause pressure vessel incidents

LO4 Identify the hazards posed by pressure vessel failure

We investigate to learn, to implement preventive measures and prevent recurrence of adverse events. Investigating an incident is like peeling an onion. We start with the direct causes which are the most visible. To get to the bottom of the events we must uncover "layer upon layer" which others causes lay behind. The technological development, and new forms of organizations, increase the complexity and it becomes more difficult to understand the connection between the incident and the underlying causes. This course presents method, organization and process for the implementation of investigations. The course can also be offered in combination with a classroom session.
