Learning Outcomes:
Introduction to the concept of process safety in Industry and understanding the PHA (Process Hazard Analysis) and Risk Assessment, with further focus on understanding and application of HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study) and QRA to real life problems.
A HAZOP is a Qualitative PHA technique, wherein a set of Guide words are used, to review the plant in a series of meetings, during which a multidisciplinary team methodically “brainstorms” the plant design. The Design & Operation of a system are systematically reviewed to identify the potential for accidental releases of hazardous material, or operability problems.
Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) is not just a tool to help you comply with regulations but we go beyond in making you understand the risk and provide effective risk mitigation measures for a complex systems/plant.
- This training module aims to enhance the participants knowledge on estimation of types of consequences (Jet/Pool Fire, BLEVE, VCE, Dispersion etc) associated with handling & storage, transport as well
- Frequency estimation and its significance in estimation of risk to own employees and public; Further how to evaluate the risk wisely against tolerable criteria
- This course enables all the participants to conduct a quantitative risk assessment and relate the results into their design and operations in Oil and Gas and Process/Manufacturing industries
