Organized by The Metallurgy and Materials Society of CIM Short courses are offered to delegates and non-delegates of the conference. Any professional interested in pursuing their learning may register for the short courses. Short courses will be held in conjunction with the conference COM2014. The short courses mirror the technical program content of the conference, providing a rich learning experience for conference attendees. www.metsoc.org COM 2014 SHORT COURSES The Metallurgy & Materials Society of CIM (Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum) Held at the Conference of Metallurgists 2014 (COM2014) September 28-October 1, 2014 Vancouver, BC, Canada Hyatt Regency Hotel Risk Management Length: 2 days Organized by: ESI International Risk management is opportunity management. It is the ability to seize opportunities, minimize threats and achieve optimum results. Too often, risk management is seen as reactive, or worse, unresponsive. Nothing could be further from the truth. In this Risk Management course, the participant will work through the proactive approach to threat and opportunity - based on a clear understanding of the powerful nature of both qualitative and quantitative approaches to risk management. Risk Management examines threat and opportunity from both a top-down and bottom-up perspective using ESI’s eight-step risk management process. Using effective tools the participants will learn how to evaluate and respond to risk at the project and task levels. Included in the course is a multi-part, mining oriented case study that takes you from a risk overview at the beginning of a project through the challenges of ongoing assessment and reassessment of threats and opportunities. The course materials also include comprehensive reference materials specific to each unit of the course. The participant will end the course with new practices to apply in your environment and new insights on the implication and advantage of applying risk management well. Process Safety Management Awareness Length: 1 day Organized by: DuPont Sustainable Solutions Process Safety Management (PSM) plays an integral role in managing operational and enterprise risks. The purpose of this course is to broaden the participants understanding of the 14 PSM elements and how they work together to handle these liabilities. Case studies will be used during the course to illustrate the application of various elements. Participants will see what it takes to achieve process safety excellence, beyond compliance to regulations, to avoid potentially catastrophic process safety incidents.
