Environmental & Public Health Risk Management Training Course

Course Overview

Learning Objectives

• Analyze the core principles of environmental and public health risk management and their application within Oil & Gas operations during the training program.
• Identify major environmental and public health hazards associated with exploration, drilling, production, processing, transportation, storage, and refining activities.
• Evaluate exposure pathways and potential health and environmental consequences using structured risk assessment methods.
• Apply practical techniques to assess chemical, physical, biological, and environmental hazards within operational facilities.
• Develop risk prioritization criteria based on likelihood, severity, exposure, vulnerability, and potential operational consequences.
• Assess air quality, water quality, wastewater, soil contamination, industrial waste, and emissions as components of environmental risk management.
• Design appropriate engineering, administrative, and operational controls to reduce environmental and public health risks.
• Develop monitoring approaches for tracking environmental conditions, occupational exposure, and relevant public health indicators.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of existing risk controls and identify opportunities for corrective and preventive action.
• Strengthen emergency preparedness and response capabilities for environmental releases, spills, contamination events, and hazardous material incidents.
• Develop practical performance indicators for measuring environmental and public health risk management effectiveness.
• Implement an integrated risk management action plan that connects environmental health, operational safety, emergency response, compliance, and sustainability objectives.
