PSM 315: Inherently Safer Design

COURSE DESCRIPTION                                                                                  DURATION: 2 Days

This course provides an introduction to the basic principles of Inherent Safety (IS) and highlights the differences between a traditional and inherently safer design. The participants will learn about how to implements inherently safer design (ISD) principles, where it fits best in the design life cycle and how to measure it.
