Training Course Content
Purpose: To ensure that hazards (substances and conditions) are safely contained at all times whilst they are present within a facility.
Learning Points:
- Primary containment, control systems designed to match hazards
Inherent safety ensures the plant will automatically shut down or conditions can not cause a loss of containment / control – including designed safety margins
Scope of design considers risks to people, environment, assets
Meets legal codes and standards
Methods and design reviews/ failure modes effects analysis / HAZOP / LOPA
Life cycle stages and role of design at concept through to decommissioning
Design reviewed and assessed during modifications / upgrades / replacement & repairs
Protective and safety systems matched to worst case parameters – functional safety vs inherent safety
Safe access and egress
Safe by location – separation distances / confinement
Design and siting of occupied buildings
Design takes account of human factors and reduces the likelihood of error
Design and reliability of essential utilities and back-up systems
Design of emergency response equipment and escape routes
Design and design decisions documented and available
