Training Course Content
Key Points to cover:
Purpose: To make judgements about how to prevent hazards causing harm. To decide what represents sufficient protection and mitigation.
Learning Points:
- Risk assessment to determine:the fundamental plant design and the basis of safe operations, designation of operating parameters – safe operating envelope & designation control systems & alarm protocols design of maintenance programmes
- Risk assessment to identify – failure modes of plant, equipment and control systems
- Fault trees, failure modes effects analysis
- Takes account of human factors – aim to reduce human error and avoid fatigue.
- When – risk assessment mainly when plant is designed but also important within Management of Change & learning from experience both internal and external
- Likelihood of a major incident should be reduced to as low as reasonably practicable – ALARP. Use of QRA and qualitative risk assessment
- Major Accident Scenarios set out and documented:
- Identification of worst credible events
- Methodologies:
- HAZOP / LOPA / What if qns / Human reliability analysis / Bow Tie analysis
- Conclusions to be recorded
- Risk register
- Bow Tie Diagrams
- HAZOP conclusions
- Risk Matrices
