Unexpected releases of toxic, reactive, or flammable liquids and gases in processes involving highly hazardous chemicals have been reported for many years. Incidents continue to occur in various industries that use highly hazardous chemicals which may be toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive, or may exhibit a combination of these properties. Regardless of the industry that uses these highly hazardous chemicals, there is a potential for an accidental release any time they are not properly controlled. This, in turn, creates the possibility of disaster.

A Process Hazards Analysis — or PHA — has two primary purposes. The first is to identify high-risk hazards associated with a chemical process — where a process is defined as any activity involving the use, storage, manufacture, handling or movement of chemicals. Once the high-risk hazards have been identified, corrective action can then be taken either to eliminate them or to minimize their impact.

The second purpose of a PHA is to create a way of thinking among all managers, employees and contract workers so that they will recognize process hazards during the normal course of their work.

The success of every company depends of each employee's understanding of the business's key components. Employee training and development will unlock the companies' profitability and reliability. When people, processes and technology work together as a team developing practical solutions, companies can maximize profitability and assets in a sustainable manner.

TRAINING DESCRIPTION:

This course is designed for participants experienced in the HAZOP technique. It begins by thoroughly revising the principles of HAZOP and the group response required for HAZOP to be most effective, and then concentrates on the organisation, leadership and management of HAZOP study teams. Almost half the time available is dedicated to workshops, enabling participants to practice leadership skills and team management under tutored observation. This provides an opportunity for expert guidance in a controlled environment before exposure in the real world. The course includes guidance on post-action procedures and the use of recording software, and highlights potential pitfalls that can significantly affect the efficiency of a study

Objective

Upon completion of this course, participants will have a complete understanding of the following:

How to plan and execute PHA study effectively and efficiently.
Understand the Concept of Safety and Risk in oil & gas industry
Identify Work related Hazards (HAZID)
Carry out (what if analysis)
Carry out Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)
Carry out Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP)
Understand the Limitation of HAZOP
Understand the Optimization of HAZAN
Carry out Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

To Learn how to effectively lead, manage and organise a HAZOP study team.

Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) studies are the foundation for process safety and risk management of hazardous process systems. They help companies identify hazard scenarios that could adversely affect people, property, or the environment.

There are several predictive PHA techniques and methodologies. They include Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP), What If Studies, Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA), and Major Hazard Analysis (MFA).

The HAZOP Team leader’s roles are;

Prepares for the study
Advises on the selection of team members
Methodology and definition of study scope
Oversees the team’s brainstorming of cause and consequences of possible accidents
.Formation of recommendations for appropriate corrective actions
To lead teams in effective HAZOP Analysis
To perform multi disciplinary team study intended to identify and analyze the significance of potential process hazards
Make recommendations for eliminating the hazards for reducing the consequences of accidents d) Improving the general facility safety
Improving the general facility safety

The goal of the course would be to refresh the knowledge of those who have a basic understanding of PHA techniques and to build a foundation to those who are new to the PHAs.

Audience

Those with previous HAZOP study experience and a basic knowledge of loss prevention and safe working practice, including:

safety managers
plant designers
process engineers
project engineers
operational personnel
maintenance engineers

Besides the above mentioned, the following personnel will also benefit

People who are making day to day decisions regarding operation, design, maintenance, and economics of process industry plants.
Ideal for veterans and those with only a few years of experience who want to review or broaden their understanding of process safety.
Other professionals who desire a better understanding of the subject matter

Content

TRAINING OUTCOMES:

How to perform a Process Hazard Analysis to meet Process Safety Management requirements for initial PHAs and management of change analyses.
How to analyze operating procedures for critical scenarios.
Realistic workshops

Apart from learning the above, the participants will gain the following benefits after attending the course-

How to organise a HAZOP study
ow to manage a HAZOP team
The importance of a positive approach to HAZOP
Post-action procedures
