    This 1-day workshop aims to teach participants the fundamental principles and application of Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) for evaluating risk. LOPA is a semi-quantitative risk assessment method used to approximate risk based on categories for cause frequency, consequence severity, and likelihood of failure of independent protection layers. The workshop covers hazards identification, process hazard analysis interface, initiating events, consequence analysis, risk assessment principles, LOPA concepts and rules, and practical exercises. Attendees would be process plant managers, engineers, and operators involved in safety integrity level determination.

    TRAINING

    Layer of Protection Analysis Workshop


    This 1 day workshop is intended to take participants through the fundamental
    principles of performing the Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) process
    method of evaluating the effectiveness of independent protection layers (IPL) in
    reducing the likelihood or severity of an undesirable event.

    Who should attend?


    Process plant managers, engineers and operators involved in safety integrity
    level (SIL) determination for risk assessment of safety instrumented functions.

    The objectives of the workshop are to equip participants with:


    The objective of this workshop is to introduce participants to LOPA and instruct
    them in principles of using this semi quantitative method of risk assessment.
    Participants will learn how to apply LOPA as a relatively simple risk
    assessment method to approximate the risk of a scenario, where LOPA is
    based on order of magnitude categories for cause frequency, consequence
    severity, and the likelihood of failure of independent protection layers (IPLs).
    They will understand how to use LOPA as an analysis tool to build on the
    information developed during a qualitative hazard evaluation, such as a
    process hazard analysis (PHA), and they will be shown how to implement
    LOPA using a well defined set of rules.

    The LOPA workshop will include:

    ƒ Hazards and associated risk;


    ƒ The process hazard analysis (PHA) interface with LOPA;
    ƒ Initiating events of hazards and likelihoods;
    ƒ Multiple event analysis;
    ƒ Analysing hazardous scenarios;
    ƒ Analysing consequence severities;
    ƒ Understanding of the concept and objectives of risk assessment;
    ƒ Understanding of the ALARP principles;
    ƒ Understanding of the principles of LOPA;
    ƒ Setting tolerable risk targets for safety, the asset and the environment;
    ƒ Calibration of LOPA risk assessment for different consequences;
    ƒ Analysis of cause events and likelihood data;
    ƒ Cause and consequence scenarios;
    ƒ The probability of failure on demand (PFD);
    ƒ Independent protection layers (IPL) and associated rules;
    ƒ An understanding of the differences between risk prevention and risk
    mitigation;
    ƒ Assigning values to risk reduction layers;
    ƒ Safety, Asset and environmental conditional modifiers;
    ƒ Avoiding common cause issues (double dipping);
    ƒ Participate in numerous LOPA risk assessment exercises;
    ƒ An introduction to a LOPA based software tool.

    The workshop will use a number of practical LOPA examples and team
    exercises to stimulate a realistic risk assessment experience. The
    methodology will be based on ‘Layer of Protection Analysis Simplified Risk
    Analysis; American Institution of Chemical Engineering ISBN 0-8169-0811-7.
