EEA Short Course

Richard Robinson, R2A Director, continues to present the two-day public short course on Risk Management for Engineering Education Australia (EEA).

The course presents how current and emerging techniques can achieve engineering due diligence for businesses and projects. It is based on experience although the theoretical basis of the ideas is covered as needed.

The course attracts the risk advisers for major organisations, regulators, lawyers, general managers as well as responsible project managers. In fact all those who wish to see the current effort directed at risk management become more useful than it has been to date.

Course Outline

This course presents how current and emerging risk and reliability tools and techniques can be used to achieve engineering due diligence for organisations and projects. It is based on the very sensible ethical position of the common law, namely, that all reasonable practical precautions are in place based on the balance of the significance of the risk versus the effort required to achieve it.

 

Who should attend?
