The key to any successful operation lies in the effective management of risks; the ability to seize opportunities, minimize threats, and optimize results. However, risk management is too often treated as a reactive process, or worse, not done at all. In this Operations Risk Management and Mitigation training course, you’ll work through the proactive approach to both sides of risk: threats and opportunities. The approach applies a proven six-step methodology of risk planning through identification, analysis, and control.
Maintaining a high level of productivity in today's successful businesses takes work and continuous learning in a variety of management skills and techniques.

The ASME Plant Inspector Level 1 training course provides the fundamental principles of the inspection, assessment, and management of fixed pressure equipment. The content of the course is delivered in a systematic manner, from the inspection planning process to inspection practices and evaluation of the associated equipment. It is aimed at the upstream and downstream Petrochemical industry but is equally relevant to stakeholders from other sectors that utilize pressure equipment.
This intensive course covers the in-service inspection methodologies and requirements for piping, pressure vessels, and above ground storage tanks.
