Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Safety Integrity Level/Layer of Protection Analysis (SIL/LOPA). It covers the concepts, importance, methodology and applications of safety integrity level (SIL) and layer of protection analysis (LOPA); the risk assessment and management, hazard identification techniques, consequence analysis, severity assessment, likelihood assessment, frequency analysis and risk matrix and risk ranking methodologies; the significance of safety integrity level (SIL), concept of tolerable risk and risk reduction, SIL classification levels, SIL selection criteria and SIL determination methods; the layer of protection analysis (LOPA) methodology and scenario identification; and collecting relevant data and information, documenting scenarios and initiating events, consequences and safeguards. During this interactive course, participants will learn the frequency of initiating events; the sources of data and information, analyzing historical data and incident databases; the uncertainty factors and calculating event frequencies; the consequences of potential incidents and consequence estimation methods and models; calculating initial risk for each scenario and risk estimation methods and techniques; the risk reduction measures, selecting appropriate safeguards and protection layers and documenting risk reduction measures and their effectiveness; preparing LOPA reports and documentation; reviewing and verifying the LOPA analysis and independent assessment; and auditing, implementing and maintaining LOPA results. link to course overview PDF
