Risk Management: Self-paced Online, Live Online and Face-to-Face Training Courses
The EI has taken advantage of its long-standing experience and expertise to develop a comprehensive training portfolio to support organisations in the fields of Human Factors, Process Safety, Quantitative Risk Management and Asset Management.
Understanding, evaluating and taking action on risks is vital in high-hazard organisations. The potential severity of the risks involved, highlighted by several high-profile incidents, demonstrates the importance of risk management in mitigating the dangers of any potentially hazardous activity.
The majority of our Training Courses are once again being held face-to-face in the classroom, giving delegates the opportunity to network and learn from each other. In addition to face-to-face courses, we continue to offer self-paced online courses that can be started at any time, and live online courses.
In-house options are also available and can be run virtually online or at your place of work, to suit your needs. Please contact webtraining@energyinst.org for further information.

Task Improvement Process
Task Improvement Process (TIP) is intended as a practical task analysis technique used by those who carry out activities at the front line. It is used to identify a) how tasks are actually conducted (i.e. work as done vs. work as imagined), b) what mistakes can be made (i.e. human error), and c) what improvements can be made to the task to reduce the likelihood of those mistakes happening.
This short self-paced online module provides instruction on how to carry out TIP, using videos, text, and quizzes. It also includes downloadable worksheets to be used when carrying out TIP to analyses tasks.
