Introduction

The production of the process industry often involves hazards. Their nature can be both physical and chemical. Physical hazards derive from operating conditions that may be extreme, such as very low or very high temperatures and pressures. Chemical hazards are those associated with the materials present in the process, which can be toxic, flammable, exposable, or release energy due to spontaneous reactions. Indeed, it is necessary to put the substances into a reactive state in order to enable one to produce the desired products that may lead to hazards.

This comprehensive training course will provide an overview of each of the process safety management elements in the plant. Facilitators will also share best practices for implementing and managing each of these elements. The course is organized into 5 modules, each module will shed the light on the safety process that will be involved in the design of plants.

objectives

Learn how to identify process safety and major accident hazards in your facilities, and how to assess their risks and define critical controls (barriers)

  • Understand the concepts of static and dynamic barrier management, and how barrier management can be used to analyze process safety and root cause incident investigation. 

  • Get hands-on experience with the development of bowtie diagrams

  • Learn the characteristics of different types of barriers: hardware (plant), human (people), and organizational (process)

  • Understand how a PSM system can help manage process safety risks, by providing governance and structure in terms of:

    • Showing commitment of the organization to process safety

    • Understanding hazards and their associated risk

    • Managing risk in operations, maintenance, and when new projects are initiated, and

    • Learning from incidents.
