Introduction
Everybody agrees that a proactive approach to risk management is essential for any business to flourish. Process safety has received a lot of attention from businesses and policymakers in recent years as a way to lessen the dangers posed by dangerous industries. It is well acknowledged that Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) is a key element in the implementation of an effective risk management system.
There will be more emphasis on this particular component of Process Hazard Analysis because Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies are now widely acknowledged as the qualitative risk assessment methodology of choice in the Process Industries.
In this program the delegates will learn:
- How to apply advanced risk assessment techniques
- Mechanics of dispersion, fire, explosion, and toxic releases
- The concept of Quantified Risk Assessment “QRA”
- Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study methodology
- HAZOP team leadership
Course Objectives of Advanced Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Process
Delegates attending this program will:
- Understand the concepts of Risk Assessment and Risk Management
- Understand the estimation and evaluation of risks - Qualitative, Semi-Quantitative, and Quantified Risks
- Techniques for Hazard Identification and Analysis - Check-Lists, Risk Profiling, HAZOP, FMEA, and Task-Based Risk Assessment
- Cause-Consequences Analysis - The Role of Fault Trees and Event Trees in Accident Prevention
- Understand HAZOP studies their benefits and their shortcomings
- Understand the requirements of a Team Leader or Facilitator, scribe, and team members during HAZOP studies
- Be able to facilitate a HAZOP study
Training Methodology of Advanced Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Process
well as looking at case studies and real-life situations.
Organizational Impact of Advanced Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Process
In addition to the professional development of staff, the organization should be able to prioritize resources to demonstrate that process risks are adequately controlled
Personal Impact of Advanced Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Process
Attendees will be able to apply skills learned from this training at a practical level to identify sources of major hazards and prioritize decisions for their control
