HSE Management of Oil Storage Facilities Course

Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) management in oil storage facilities is no longer just about compliance with safety manuals and regulatory inspections. It is about preventing catastrophic incidents, protecting lives, safeguarding surrounding communities, and ensuring operational continuity in a high-risk environment. Modern storage terminals operate in a landscape shaped by volatile markets, aging infrastructure, extreme weather events, and heightened ESG expectations.

Learning Objective:

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate key HSE risks associated with oil storage facilities, including fire, explosion, spill, vapor release, and structural integrity hazards.
• Identify and assess operational, environmental, and occupational health risks using structured hazard identification and risk assessment tools (e.g., HAZID, HAZOP, JSA).
• Design comprehensive HSE management systems tailored to oil storage terminals, tank farms, and depots.
• Apply process and safety management principles to prevent major accident hazards in hydrocarbon storage operations.
• Develop effective fire prevention, explosion control, and emergency response strategies aligned with international best practices.
• Implement spill prevention, containment, and environmental protection measures to minimise soil and groundwater contamination.
