Case Studies for
Learning from Major Failures -
Towards an Operational Excellence

This Case Studies for Learning from Major Incidents training course presents a new methodology for learning from major disasters and driving change in industry safety. It explores the root cause of disasters and various preventive measures. It also links theory with practice in regard to risk, safety and reliability analysis. It uses analytical techniques originating from reliability analysis of equipment failures, multiple criteria decision making and artificial intelligence domains.

The Case Studies for Learning from Major Incidents training course is intended to be from different industries such as oil and gas, nuclear power generation, aviation, marine, and process industries. It focuses on a number of well-known case studies from various industries such as Oil and Gas, Process, Aviation, Nuclear and Marine Industries. This includes many examples for modelling and decision analysis. There is then a set of generic lessons that can be learnt as common themes, which will benefit those who are also working in other industries.
