This course provides an overview of safety reviews in a project and highlights the main principles to design and maintain the prevention, mitigation and protection barriers.
Public :
Managers, engineers, technicians in charge of the design, the modification, the maintenance or the operation of industrial facilities.
Level :Knowledge
Prerequisite :
Provide evidence of a basic technical knowledge in process, instrumentation, static and dynamic equipment.
Course Content
RISK IDENTIFICATION
-
Duration : 1.25 Days
Risk identification and acceptability with respect to people, environment and assets - Hazard and risk - Residual risk - Risk assessment matrix.
Review of hazardous phenomena: gas dispersion, toxic release, thermal radiation, overpressure blast.
Preliminary risk quantification: evaluation of risk consequences (grass root project or revamping) based on HAZID/HAZOP reviews.
Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) - Typical architecture of Safety Instrumented Systems: hierarchy, interaction with process control system and Fire & Gas system.
Flammability control: minimizing ignition sources, hazardous area classification, equipment selection and location in hazardous areas.
DETECTION, MITIGATION & PROTECTION SYSTEMS
-
Duration : 0.75 Day
Fire and gas detection system: technology of sensors, selection and location - Cause and effect matrix, voting - Relationship with mitigation systems.
Passive fire and blast protection: description of material, location, monitoring and inspection - Identification of surface/elements to be protected.
Fixed systems with water or foam: elements of the fire main system (main ring, fire water pumps, consumers, water tank, foam solution), application rate.
DAY-TO-DAY INDUSTRIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
-
Duration : 0.75 Day
Human factors: functioning of the human being - Examples of systems embedding human behavior or human error: equipment accessibility, plant ergonomics, graphic display design, alarm management…
Management Of Change (MOC): technical, organizational and human expertise (reliability of documentation, suitability/application of the procedures, corporate’s specifications...).
Maintaining the efficiency of the barriers - Example of a risk management tool: the bow tie.
Learning Objectives
Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
Be instrumental in the safety reviews done during a project or plant modification,
Improve process safety practices and reinforce the integration of the human factor from the design stage,
Strengthen the integration of the human factor from the design stage.
Ways & Means
The pedagogy is active and builds on the experience of the participants and the knowledge of the site:
several exercises and applications (50% case studies or tutorial exercises), with a ‘’rolling case’’ on a typical processing unit
safety impact of a simple modification,
identification of safety barriers with the impact of their maintenance on their effectiveness.
a number of visual aids: videos, learning from incidents (Texas City, Buncefield, Achinsk…).
Learning assessment
Quiz.
