Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. Old approaches to safe design in the process industry relied on the application of codes of practice and the design was usually based upon experience from specialists and operators in the industry. Such methods were able only to take into account problems and accidents that had already happened. With introduction of new technologies, unconventional design, complex plants and short operating experience, a proper PHA study is now a mandatory tool to identify potential hazards and operability problems. PHA is a systematic multidisciplinary team study intended to identify and analyze the significance of potential process hazards and make initial recommendations for eliminating hazards, for reducing the consequences of potential accidents and for improving general facility safety. PHA methods are used for new plants as well as for modifications to existing design. The methods have been developed primarily for the process industry and have been applied in great scale in the Oil and Gas sector. However, the PHA techniques are now applied with success for other industries such as offshore construction, power and water projects, space and military industries, and environment studies.This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of hazard operability (HAZOP). It covers the meaning of HAZOP, who does it, how it is done, where is it done and when is it done; the process hazard analysis and HAZOP covering process safety management versus personal safety, process hazard analysis and the use of HAZOP as preferred PHA technique; and the HAZOP methodology that include deviation, cause, consequences, safeguards and action
