Sector:

Chemicals & Process – Safety and Loss Prevention

Technical Focus Area: 

Process Safety & Loss Prevention

About the Course

This course provides focused technical training on Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA), covering how this semi-quantitative methodology is applied to determine whether adequate safeguards exist for identified chemical process hazards. It is designed for professionals who conduct or review LOPA studies.

Participants examine initiating event frequency estimation, independent protection layer criteria, and risk tolerance criteria, building the practical skills needed to apply LOPA consistently and defensibly. Case examples illustrate LOPA applied to chemical process scenarios.

Learning Milestones

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

- Apply the LOPA methodology to a chemical process scenario.
- Estimate initiating event frequencies for LOPA studies.
- Identify valid independent protection layers.
- Apply risk tolerance criteria to LOPA outcomes.
- Determine safety instrumented function requirements from LOPA.
- Document LOPA studies defensibly.

Professional Audience

This course is ideal for professionals conducting or reviewing LOPA studies, including:

- Process safety engineers
- Instrumentation and control engineers
- HAZOP and risk assessment specialists
- Plant engineers supporting safety studies
- Safety instrumented systems engineers
