Human errors have contributed to a number of major industrial accidents with many leading to multiple fatalities and almost every accident analysis usually uncovers human related errors and deficiencies. The root cause of these deficiencies is typically inadequate application of human factors in the development or application of various standards, procedures and management systems. Therefore, it is useful to understand where the deficiencies lie and where simple human fallibility can prove critical to safe operations. To accomplish safety improvements, human factors must be effectively applied and managed within an organization. The benefits of taking human factors into account for an organization are, fewer accidents and near misses, reduced potential for human error and its consequences, improved efficiency, lower lifetime costs associated with maintaining and re-engineering systems and a more productive workforce. Its proper application can result in improved operating effectiveness and reliability. Proactive integration of Human Factor throughout the lifecycle of an asset - from the design stage, through commissioning, operation and maintenance and looking ahead to decommissioning - is critical. Quite simply, the success of any organization depends on the performance of humans because every facet of any industrial organization involves human factors. The course is about explaining how human factor influences human

behaviour in a way which can affect process safety performance at all

levels of an organisation. The course covers topics on human factors’ key

issues, factors affecting human performance and systematic approaches

in predicting and reducing human error. The course will also include case

studies to assess human error in the process industry and propose

human error prevention techniques to enhance process safety.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able: To understand human factor aspects in the

operations of process industries and its influences towards process safety performance.

To evaluate factors affecting human performance and predict and reduce human error.

Prof. Dr. Azmi Shariff, is a lecturer in the Chemical Engineering Department, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. He is currently the Director for Institute of Contaminant Management and a member at the Centre of Advanced Process Safety (CAPS) and CO2 Research Centre (CO2RES) in UTP. He is also an Associate Member (Process Safety) at The Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE UK), a member in the Board of Engineers (BOE) and a Chartered Marine Engineer at The

Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (ImarEST). In process safety, his research works are in the areas of Process Safety Management (PSM), Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA), Inherent Safety, Electrical Safety and Behaviour Based Safety. He is experienced in conducting PSM, QRA and other professional course for few local companies in Malaysia.

Dr. Azizul Buang, is a lecturer at the Chemical Engineering Department, UTP teaching process safety courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Before joining UTP, Dr Azizul was a process engineer at Multisafe Sdn Bhd - a medical glove manufacturing plant. He has a strong interest in process & occupational safety as well as wastewater treatment technology. He is currently one of the Committee Members of the National Management Committee in IECEx (Explosive Atmosphere) Malaysia for the term of 2015-2017. Dr Azizul’s current research is on dust explosion and storage tank fire hazard management

specifically in the topics of analysing the temperature profile in the burning liquid

hydrocarbon and predicting boilover phenomenon in storage tank fire.

Prof. Dr. Faisal Khan, is a Professor and the Canada Research Chair Tier I of Offshore Safety and Risk Engineering. He is also a member of Oil and Gas Engineering Board of Studies at Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, in the Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada and a visiting professor at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Perak. Dr. Khan’s areas of research interest include: safety and risk engineering, inherent safety, risk management, and risk-based

integrity assessment and management. He is actively involved with multinational oil and gas companies on the issue of safety and asset integrity. In 2006, he spent a few months as risk and integrity expert with Lloyd's Register, a risk management organization. He has also served as Safety and Risk Advisor to Government of Newfoundland, Canada, Lloyd's Register EMEA, SBM Modco, Qatargas and others. In 2008 and 2009, he visited Qatar University and Qatargas LNG Company as Process Safety and Risk Management Chair. He has offered training programs/workshops on safety and risk engineering in different places including St John's, Tehran, Dubai, Beijing, Aberdeen, Doha, and Kuala Lumpur.
