TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Training Program – Process Hazard & Risk Analysis (PH&RA) Training

The topics cover the concepts of identifying hazards using tools such as What-If, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and HAZard and OPerability (HAZOP). This will be further developed into the analysis of risk and methods of risk reduction to consider the effectiveness of preventative and mitigating layers of protection. The use of preventative safeguarding efficiencies will be introduced for use with the PHA Matrix, along with the advantages/disadvantages of using the PHA Matrix with different Hazard Analysis methods.

The different questioning techniques used by a Hazard study leader to guarantee a systematic study methodology are investigated, as is the HAZOP lowsheet design, by considering the use of the HAZOP for specific needs such as LOPA. A LOPA exercise will actually be carried out from the output of the course HAZOP exercise. Consideration of constructing effective nodes will be examined and better definition will be given to claims of double jeopardy.

Practical exercises will be carried out for Semi Quantitative methods such as risk graph and LOPA. The shortfalls of the quicker methods will be investigated to allow the analyst to appreciate the limitations of screening tools. The most popular semi quantified method, Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA), will be explored in depth.

The effective use of Event Tree Analysis will be looked at in two different forms (Mitigation ETA and Traditional ETA). The course will focus on how ETA can be used to qualitatively support the analyst in mapping out the various consequences given various events with safeguard success or failure. Analysts can then select those events which generate consequences of interest for which FTA may be required.

Realistic practical exercises and case studies will be used to compliment the instruction.

Key Learning Objectives

• Equipped with the knowledge and methods for undertaking various types of qualitative and quantitative risk assessments
• Investigating best practices for SMS with the use of Bow-ties linking the Hazard and its safeguards to the SMS
• Go through the requirements for safety management and the framework of a Safety Management System (SMS) for achieving effective process risk management
• Gain insights into how process safety KPIs can be used to better align engineering and management in the prevention of major accident hazards
