Engineering Risk Management and Loss Control Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply technical knowledge to identify potential engineering loss scenarios in a given context.
• Analyze risk factors using appropriate methodologies to prioritize loss control measures.
• Evaluate existing risk management systems and recommend improvements to minimize losses.
• Design a risk management plan that integrates technical controls, administrative procedures, and personal protective measures.
• Implement loss control strategies in accordance with relevant legislation and organisational policies.
• Demonstrate the ability to communicate risk assessment findings and control measures to stakeholders.

Target Audience

Engineers, engineering technicians, and technical managers involved in operations, maintenance, or project management within industrial or engineering environments.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals reinforce theoretical knowledge through hands-on exercises in risk identification, analysis, treatment planning, incident investigation, and emergency response. Learners apply techniques to real-world engineering scenarios, building competence in using risk assessment tools and implementing loss control measures.

Practical Activities

• HIRA Practical: Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment — Learners conduct a HIRA on a simulated engineering process (e.g., chemical mixing or machine operation), identifying hazards, analysing risks, and documenting findings. (4h)
• FMEA Workshop: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis — In teams, learners perform an FMEA on a simple engineering system (e.g., a pump or conveyor), identifying failure modes, effects, causes, and controls. (4h)
• Incident Investigation Simulation — Learners investigate a simulated workplace incident, gather evidence, interview witnesses, and perform a root cause analysis using the 5 Whys and fishbone diagram. (4h)
• Risk Treatment Planning and Emergency Drill — Teams create a risk treatment plan for a given scenario, then participate in an emergency drill (e.g., fire or chemical spill response) and debrief. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
