What If Training

What If Training Workshop conducted at Lote, Chiplun, India

Abhisam’s India office is pleased to announce that they conducted a What If training workshop for the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers Lote chapter, on 27th April 2022 at Hotel Omega, Lote, near Chiplun, India. More than 45 engineers and managers  from different companies in the Lote Parshuram Industrial Area attended this hands-on workshop that covered the What-If Analysis /SWIFT technique of Risk Assessment. What-If Analysis and SWIFT (Structured What-If Analysis) technique is one of the two PHA techniques used for Risk Assessment in the process industries (the other popular technique is HAZOP-Hazard and Operability Study). The What-If technique is not as popular as HAZOP, but scores several advantages over it in certain aspects and it is being rapidly adopted by many industries.

The participants were  enthusiastic chemical engineers from major chemical manufacturing companies in the region, such as Gharda Chemicals Limited, Vinati Organics Limited, SI Group, Rallis, US Vitamin and others.

The Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers  is the apex professional body of chemical engineers in India. It has a membership of about fifteen thousand, including Corporate Members and Student Members. There are forty-one Regional Centres and forty-seven Student Chapters of the Institute in different parts of India. The Institute represents the chemical engineering profession in India. Many members of the Institute serve on various technical committees of the Government of India and of chemical and allied industries.

What-If analysis and SWIFT (Structured What-If Technique) are Risk Assessment methods used in carrying out PHA (Process Hazard Analysis). Other Risk Assessment methods include HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study) and LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis).

As you know, Abhisam has e-learning courses on all of these subjects, including What-If Analysis that offer professional certification after completing the course and passing an associated exam.

Just get this Confined Space Safety e-learning course today and get trained in working safely in confined spaces.

Note that it includes all the knowledge that you need to have to know how to work safely in confined spaces.

Can I not get this information free from elsewhere?

There is a  common myth  “Just Google it”

It is a myth that you can simply Google for Confined Space   information and get everything that you need to know.

Most likely you will get a large number of occupational safety articles and information, some videos, some power point slides, but much of the information may be in bits and pieces.

While you can get some basic information about confined space safety from these sources, it may not be complete. Even if you do find enough material, it will take you a long time to sequence it all together in one coherent document that makes sense to you.

Even after doing all this there is a possibility that you may not get what you really need to know from an OSHA compliance perspective

Plus you will spend several hours of your time doing all this for zero returns on your investment!

On the other hand, when you take this Abhisam Confined Space safety course, you know that

    1.  It is very carefully made, with subject matter experts in the field of Occupational Safety, Process Safety & Industrial operations who have spent decades in the actual field creating permit systems, investigating incidents and streamlining methods to reduce or eliminate confined space safety accidents.
    2. Utilizes easy graphics, animations and simulations, real life examples of dos and donts, correct and incorrect practices  that enable you to understand everything easily.
    3.  Earn a Certificate when you pass the associated exam and also get an electronic badge that can be displayed online on places such as LinkedIn. Get Noticed.

Can I not simply buy a book? That will be much cheaper!

Of course, you could always pass this up and decide to go for  buy a book on this topic,

but,

remember that there are some disadvantages with this approach

    1.  The first is that not a single book is available  that covers all the topics that you need to know. On the other hand, there will be many books on general workplace safety, occupational safety, permit systems, that may be relevant to only those working in normal workplaces, not those having confined spaces.
    2.  Some of these books may be outdated and obsolete.
    3.  Nobody gives you a certificate if you simply read a book!
