X223 Chemical Engineering for Scientists and Other Engineers and X222 Process Risk Assessment (PRA) have been tailored after an initial trail and delegate feedback to ensure they are providing appropriate focus for Environment Agency staff. The other two courses will remain as “off-the-shelf” training courses by IChemE. This is because they are foundation process safety courses for people new to the discipline. These are X224 Introduction to Process Safety (PS Intro) and X221 Fundamentals of Process Safety (FOPS). The proposed delivery programme and budget for 2026/27 is provided below.
