Description

Process hazard analysis (PHA) studies are performed by companies to manage process risks. Increasingly, companies are performing layers of protection analysis (LOPA) studies to improve their risk management. Typically, LOPA is performed on hazard scenarios obtained from PHA studies.

However, common PHA practices for performing studies often result in hazard scenarios with insufficient information to perform LOPA. This necessitates updating the PHA study and interferes with the performance of LOPA making it inefficient. LOPA will take longer to perform and may be inaccurate.

This course provides guidelines for capturing information in PHA studies for hazard scenarios so that these problems can be avoided and LOPA can be performed smoothly and without difficulty. 

What you will learn:

  • PHA details needed for LOPA
  • Problems to avoid
  • Guidelines for recording studies

Facilitators and team members for PHA and LOPA studies.
