"HAZOP, SIL, LOPA and Functional Safety"

Description

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.
