Course Overview

The one day NHC FMECA Overview Training Course is designed to provide delegates with an understanding of the methodology, purpose, function and application of a FMECA, in addition to the approach for reviewing existing FMECA’s.

Although the FMECA awareness course is a stand-alone module, it also acts as day one of the three day course designed for FMECA practitioners.

FMECAs are designed to:-

• Identify potential failure modes for a system
• Assess the risk associated with those failure modes
• Rank the issues in terms of importance
• Identify corrective actions required to address the most critical concerns

Although applicable to any industry, the NHC FMECA Awareness Course has been designed to specifically focus on Saturation Diving Systems.

The aim is to identify potential failure modes before they occur and to minimise the risk of failure by proposing:-

• Design changes
• Operational procedures
• Preventative maintenance plans
