Training Outlines

Introduction

This course develops the analytical discipline required to identify process hazards and determine whether protection is adequate. Participants prepare and facilitate process hazard analyses, define credible scenarios, assess consequences and frequencies, validate independent protection layers and document risk decisions.

Objectives

Select appropriate process hazard-analysis methods and scope.
Prepare process safety information, nodes and study boundaries.
Facilitate structured HAZOP and complementary analyses.
Develop credible cause-consequence scenarios.
Distinguish safeguards from independent protection layers.
Perform semi-quantitative layer-of-protection assessments.
Identify risk gaps and proportionate additional controls.
Document, close and revalidate PHA and LOPA actions.
