Explore the HAZOP methodology for identifying hazards and operability issues using a multi-disciplinary team, guidewords, and P&ID based analysis across project phases from pre-project through FEED to detail design.
Identify SIFs from HAZOP or shutdown logic diagrams, apply IEC 61511 risk graphs using frequency and avoidance to assign SILs, and prepare SIF tables and P&IDs for the SIL workshop.
Explore how LOPA guides SIL allocation through an IPL-focused safety review, alarm evaluation, and safety instrumentation system actions by a cross-functional team to meet target risk levels.
Track SIL action responses and sign-offs on risk graphs and LOPA action sheets, with agree, disagree, or to-be-followed decisions, supported by a SharePoint-based SIL monitor.
Verify that SIFs meet allocated SILs using PFD-based analysis, reliability data, and a data dossier, detailing PFD, availability, and RRF across detector, logic, and final element subsystems per IEC 61508/61511.
Explore functional safety audits and management plans for safety instrumented systems, per IEC 61508/61511, detailing risk assessment, SRS development, lifecycle planning, verification, and traceability.
This E-Course covers the methodology, procedure and terms of reference for conducting HAZOP, SIL, LOPA AND FUNCTIONAL SAFETY for a project.
HAZOP is a study technique employed as part of the project audit system in order to identify the potential hazards and operability problems that may be inherent in the process design. HAZOP, SIL allocation are a structured hazard identification and integrity tools using a multi-disciplined team and they have become accepted as the main technique for the identification of process hazards and safety integrity in the design and operation of a facility. They allow the project team to further develop an understanding of the matters that need to be addressed as part of managing HSE in a project.
This E-Couse should be used to ensure a common understanding by all parties prior to commencement of the HAZOP and SIL assessment.
The objective of HAZOP is to detect latent faults or hazardous interactions and identify where improvements to safety and operability are necessary. SIL, LOPA AND FUNCTIONAL SAFETY investigate the safety integrity of safeguards identified in HAZOP and other independent safety related barriers.
The objectives of the HAZOP, SIL, LOPA AND FUNCTIONAL SAFETY are to:
Ensure that the facilities are operated safely and efficiently
Identify any potential hazards
Provide a checklist of actions which must be progressed by the project team to address identified hazards.
