Layers of Protection Analysis
Course: #  2727   CEUs: .7
 
This course is for process safety personnel who quantify the likelihood of safety incidents for the purposes of quantifying risk.

Overview

Layers of Protection Analysis, or LOPA, is a specialized version of event tree analysis that allows an analyst to quantify, within a half order of magnitude, the likelihood of safety critical event. This technique is gaining increasing acceptance in the process industries and is specifically cited in SIS standards. This one day course will prepare students to develop scenarios, evaluate
safeguards as potential layers of protection, and use appropriate probabilities for IPL in order to calculate frequency, or likelihood, of safety critical scenarios.
