Process safety Management (LOPA and SIL) Course
Introduction:
Across all industries, the most hazardous substances and procedures are handled by oil, gas, and chemical field businesses. Poor process safety management results in catastrophic events and casualties. Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) must be established for Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) in order for them to satisfy acceptable risk requirements, according to international and US standards for Safety Instrumented Systems (SISs), International Electrotechnical Commission IEC 61511 and ISA 84. The standards provide a number of techniques, such as risk graphs, risk matrices, and Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA), that can be applied in this way. How to employ these techniques is covered in this course. A thorough process for utilizing LOPA to determine SIL is given.
Course Objectives:
- Apply and gain an in-depth knowledge on OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM)
- Learn how to perform a LOPA study to evaluate the effectiveness of process safeguards
- Be able to determine required SILs for SIFs using LOPA, risk graphs and risk matrices
- Improve safety skills through techniques in process safety management
- Promote business continuity improvement through understanding of safer systems design
