Accident Analysis Using Event Causation Technique هذه الدورة تدرس باللغة الإنجليزية

تفاصيل الدورة

This course aims to introduce valuable safety management lessons derived from major accident inquiries in Singapore. This is an important part of Singapore’s engineering history and, it is necessary to capture the lessons in the form of case studies so that they can be shared with current and future managers, engineers, supervisors, technicians and workers. The recently published book by Goh and Soon (2014) describes three major accidents in Singapore and their safety management lessons. This seminar will introduce some of the chapters from the book and extends the discussion further. The discussion will focus on incident analysis techniques, the Nicoll Highway collapse case study and discussion on topics such as design, organisational structure, culture, and major hazards monitoring.

The aim of the discussion is not on the legal and liabilities aspects of the major accident. Instead the focus is on learning from past the accident (based on the details in the Committee of Inquiry report) so as to improve safety management and prevent future major accidents. 

Course objectives:
