Course overview
This course develops the knowledge and practical judgement needed to integrate service performance, HSE and operational assurance around organisational priorities. The learning sequence begins with asset functions and service dependencies, then develops the tools and decisions involved in criticality and consequence assessment. Participants connect these foundations with the remaining modules and complete applied work focused on implementation and change planning.
The programme is intended for cross-functional corporate teams, operational managers, FM/HSE professionals and contractor interfaces. Examples are examined from both the person delivering the work and the person reviewing its adequacy. Participants practise identifying the relevant requirement, gathering evidence, recognising uncertainty and documenting a justified recommendation. The emphasis and level of challenge follow the approved advanced level and the stated duration of 2–3 Days.
Learning combines facilitator explanation, structured questions, case analysis and practical outputs that can be reviewed against the objectives. Corporate groups can use agreed, anonymised procedures and records to make the discussion relevant to their own operations. Exercises distinguish a training recommendation from an authorised workplace decision: local law, client requirements, contracts, engineering standards and manufacturer instructions remain applicable. The closing activity produces a specific improvement or review plan, with responsibilities and evidence requirements that participants can discuss with their own management.
Why this course matters
The course connects asset functions and service dependencies with implementation and change planning. Participants practise making the reasoning and evidence behind an operational decision clear enough for others to review.
Learning objectives
- Explain the scope of asset functions and service dependencies.
- Identify the key requirements for criticality and consequence assessment.
- Apply a structured approach to safety functions and sce interfaces.
- Evaluate evidence relating to maintenance strategy selection.
- Develop a practical output for inspection, testing and evidence.
- Justify recommendations concerning backlog and impairment decisions.
- Review responsibilities for reliability, availability and lifecycle value.
- Prepare an implementation plan for assurance measures and management review.
Who should attend
cross-functional corporate teams, operational managers, FM/HSE professionals and contractor interfaces
Prerequisites
Relevant workplace exposure and familiarity with basic subject terminology are recommended. Advanced technical workshops require suitable prior knowledge; participant suitability and any specialist preparation are confirmed before booking.
Course curriculum
-
Asset functions and service dependencies
Identify the activities that depend on an asset function and connect service continuity to the people, premises, information, utilities and suppliers it requires.
-
Criticality and consequence assessment
Review the consequences of losing the function in its operating context, clarifying the asset's function, location, condition and ownership rather than ranking by purchase price alone.
-
Safety functions and SCE interfaces
Connect equipment and systems to their role in preventing or limiting a major accident, identifying interfaces and the evidence needed to review that role.
-
Maintenance strategy selection
Compare the purposes of preventive maintenance, condition monitoring and corrective work, linking selection to failure behaviour, consequences and approved technical requirements.
-
Inspection, testing and evidence
Define the review criterion before judging acceptance, distinguishing observation, result, conclusion and the limits of the available evidence.
-
Backlog and impairment decisions
Review what deferral or barrier degradation could mean for the protective function, assigning communication responsibility and competent review of compensating measures.
-
Reliability, availability and lifecycle value
Use maintenance evidence to understand recurring failures, service effects and lifecycle choices, referring technical limits and tests to competent specialists and approved requirements.
-
Assurance measures and management review
Connect an important outcome or control with evidence of its effectiveness, explaining review limits and implications for resources, priorities and accountability.
-
Risk-based maintenance workshop
Bring functions, consequences, dependencies and maintenance evidence together in a justified recommendation, identifying gaps requiring authorised review.
-
Implementation and change planning
Connect work demand with capacity, prerequisites and dependencies, recording completed work, open risks, changed conditions and the next responsible person.
Practical learning
A company is mobilising an integrated support-services contract for an operating site. Accommodation, catering, maintenance and HSE teams have separate plans with unresolved interfaces. Leaders must agree a common readiness, performance and assurance approach.
Participants examine this fictional case through the course modules, identify missing information and prepare a justified response. Corporate examples can be adapted within the agreed scope.
Assessment approach
Knowledge checks assess understanding, while a practical case output tests application. Review criteria are accuracy, use of evidence, recognition of limitations, clear responsibility and feasibility. The facilitator provides feedback; joining instructions confirm attendance requirements and any formal pass criteria before delivery.
Completion information
An Al-Warkaa professional-development completion certificate may be issued against the confirmed attendance and assessment requirements. This is not a claim of professional licensure, regulatory authorisation or third-party accreditation.
