• Identifying the importance of training in PSSR
• Scrutinising scheduling considerations when conducting a PSSR

Session Three Why you cannot miss this event

Reviewing the key regulatory issues affecting your PSSR
• Going through an overview of PSSR industry guidelines and regulations
• Learning from best practices to carryout an effective PSSR for a safe start-up
• Grasping environmental, general safety, security and occupational health considerations
Session Four
Utilising a risk-based approach to PSSR
• Using the right risk analysis techniques to select the level of detail for a PSSR
• Drawing up a decision guideline for designing your PSSR
• Typical considerations for all PSSR
Hands on exercise:
• Going through an example of risk-based questionnaire
• Take home best practices from examples of using a risk-based approach to PSSR design
Commissioning of a new plant facility is a high risk. Engineers have to work under time
constraints and have to simultaneously execute many complex processes which could go
wrong. One of the biggest challenges is commissioning brownfield projects where a
new facility has to be integrated with existing facilities, with some facilities that are more
than 20 years old.
In order to achieve a safe and successful commissioning there has to be improved
project coordination and control on contractor and project management people and
also by the plant’s operations and control team. This conference will focus on the
important aspects of planning and the management of the commissioning process,
managing the interface between pre-commissioning, mechanical completion and
commissioning. All aspects of commissioning from handover to production and initial
start-up of the facilities will be discussed. Do not miss the opportunity to attend this
unique one of a kind international event.
