Course Details

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;

1. Prepares for the study

2. Advises on the selection of team members

3. Methodology and definition of study scope

4. Oversees the team’s brainstorming of cause and consequences of possible accidents

5.Formation of recommendations for appropriate corrective actions

a) To lead teams in effective HAZOP Analysis

b) To perform multi disciplinary team study intended to identify and analyze the significance of potential process hazards

c) Make recommendations for eliminating the hazards for reducing the consequences of accidents

d) 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.

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences.  Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.

Very useful Course Materials will be given.

• 30% Lectures
• 30% Workshops and work presentation
• 20% Group Work& Practical Exercises
• 20% Videos& General Discussions
