ABI6012 -ABIOSH International Executive Certificate in Terminal and Jetty Health and Safety Regulatory Compliance©
The ABIOSH international management seminar in Terminal and Jetty Health and Safety Regulatory Compliance is a must attend workshop for terminal/jetty owners and senior management (irrespective of the type of terminal: Cargo, Ro-Ro, container, chemical; oil and gas etc) and those who regulate the movement, transfer, storage and handling of dangerous cargoes, bunkers, ballast and tank cleaning operations on all ships and at all marine terminals and facilities within or connected internal and territorial waters.
Rapidly developing technology and the need to control costs have resulted in fundamental changes in the way terminals around the world are being managed and operated. Technical developments have continued with the introduction of increasingly sophisticated cargo- handling equipment with greatly increased capacity and reach. While many of these changes in cargo-handling methods have resulted in significant improvements for the safety of terminal workers, some changes have introduced new hazards and work is still regarded as an occupation with very high accident rates.
Moreover, privatization in the industry has led to considerable changes in the organization of terminals and the employment of people in them, including increased use of contract workers. Unfortunately, systems for identifying and managing risks have not been fully developed and the need for investment in the training and skills of terminal workers has been increasingly lacking due to conflicting interests, economic downturn and most especially lack of understanding of the HSE compliance requirements on running a terminal/jetty on the part of the owners and senior management which have resulted to closure of some terminals and other enforcement actions being carried out.
This seminar will equip delegates with the legal framework and the role health safety and environment (HSE) has in ensuring safety at terminals and jetties all over the world. It focus on management’s primary role and responsibilities, regulatory requirements for ensuring safety is adhered to during the design, construction, and operation of terminals and jetties and ensuring appropriate emergency plans are developed. Owners and management will understand the terminal needs to develop working practices that will safeguard the safety and health of workers in the light of its own specific circumstances based on international guidelines, code of practice, and on the well-established general principles set out in the relevant international standards and regulations
This seminar also describes the regulators legal framework and advisory roles in the adherence to good health and safety standards, laws, codes, guidance’s, land use planning system etc. It also identifies the interfaces between regulatory bodies that also have responsibilities associated with the operations in terminals and jetties.

ABI9010 – ABIOSH Certificate in Incident/Accident Investigation©
ABIOSH INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE IN INCIDENT/ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION (ICIN)
INTRODUCTION
The ABIOSH International Certificate in Incident and Accident investigation is a 6 (six) days intensive course that prepares those who will be involved in incident and accident investigation team for effective investigative activities.
It should be emphasised that no one should investigate incidents without appropriate accident investigation training. All incidents whether a near miss or an actual injury-related event, should be investigated. Near miss reporting and investigation allow you to identify and control hazards before they cause a more serious incident.
Accident/incident investigations are a tool for uncovering hazards that either were missed earlier or have managed to slip out of the controls planned for them. It is useful only when done with the aim of discovering every contributing factor to the accident/incident to “foolproof” the condition and/or activity and prevents future occurrences. In other words, your objective is to identify root causes, not to primarily set blame.
This course teaches the principles of incident/accident investigation. They are practically based, enabling delegates to understand how to conduct an investigation from the examination of the scene to submitting the report. The course contains practical discussions to highlight the possible pitfalls in both the processing and recording of information. The sessions are challenging but constructive, aimed at achieving understanding of how vitally important identifying safety management system failures is. The course is delivered from the basis of a reasoned approach to business/operational/service management.
The part 2 deals with effective problem solving and identifying the causes of the incidents/accidents; direct and root causes using Root Cause Analysis. This is a perfect first course in effective problem solving for anyone and a required course for anyone who participates in a Root Cause Analysis
The course is designed to be entirely complementary to any internal accident reporting and investigating procedures or systems already in place in your organisation. It can easily be extended to incorporate training in these local arrangements.
The part 2 deals with effective problem solving and identifying the causes of incidents/accidents; direct and root causes using Root Cause Analysis. This is a perfect first course in effective problem solving for anyone and a required course for anyone who participates in a Root Cause Analysis
