HE2311 : Process Hazard Analysis Methods Mainly HAZOP & LOPA

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Process Hazard Analysis Methods Mainly HAZOP and LOPA. It covers the process safety management (PSM), process hazard analysis (PHA) and hazard identification fundamentals; the risk assessment principles, process information requirements for PHA and the purpose and scope of HAZOP and LOPA; the HAZOP methodology and structure and HAZOP team roles and responsibilities; the guide words and process parameters, deviation analysis techniques, HAZOP documentation and reporting; and the risk ranking within HAZOP and safeguard identification and evaluation.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the human factors in HAZOP studies, specialized HAZOP applications and common HAZOP challenges and best practices; the layer of protection analysis (LOPA) and initiating events analysis; the independent protection layers (IPLs), consequence scenarios and risk criteria; the probability of failure on demand (PFD), LOPA calculations and documentation and safety instrumented systems (SIS) fundamentals; the SIL determination using LOPA, advanced LOPA applications and integration of HAZOP and LOPA; and the PHA revalidation and continuous improvement.
