Free Live Online CPD Webinars in Functional Safety, Process Safety and OT Cyber Security

FALKIRK, Scotland - Dec. 20, 2024 - PRLog -- =Method delivers these increasingly popular FREE 1-day seminars twice a year. Topics are carefully selected to provide the basis for maintaining qualifications and which are believed to contain information that will be of interest to the audience. Delegates are typically engineers and managers who work in the UK process industries. =Method's own specialist UK consultants deliver each topic then take questions online which are usually answered at the time.

As an example the October 2024 agenda was:

* Fundamentals of Process Safety Management. The main elements required in a good process safety management system.
* Lessons Learned: The Smiler ride roller coaster crash. Lessons for chemical manufacturers from the Smiler ride roller coaster accident of 2015.
* Functional Safety Assessments. Discussing common failings and non-compliances and identifying the potentially dangerous failures these represent.
* Machinery Safety Devices. Issues that arise when using machinery safety certified devices in SIFs that should comply with IEC 61511.
Fundamentals of Cyber Security. The threat landscape is continually evolving and system complexity and inter-connectedness is increasing – so what should you do?
* Prior Use. A review of a prior use project scrutinised by the regulator.

The agenda for each up-and-coming seminar can be found at https://www.methodfs.com/seminar a month or two before each event.

There is no selling during these events. =Method believes that, by demonstrating competence, anyone who has a need for consultancy or training support may consider using their services if the need arises in the future. Plus of course its good to give back to the industry and help to make it a safer place.

The webinar is delivered with energy and a little humour. This helps make learning these sometimes dry topics easier to attend. This is reflected in delegate satisfaction scores which at the time of writing was 92.3%. A selection of testimonials can be seen on the website.

=Method was formed in 2013 primarily as a functional safety training company. The business quickly grew to take on consultancy work with a focus on best practice engineering. They gradually took on additional consultants wherever they found people who were trusted and who shared their ethos.

The companies' moto is "Do it Right" - which means "be compliant", but means "do it efficiently". All =Method's work is focused on these two elements.
