Conception, Design and Implementation of Plant Safety Systems

 
  November 20, 2007  
     
 
The Center for Professional Advancement, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
12-14 March 2008


Who Should Attend
This course is intended for those who are actively involved in the design and/or operation of industrial plant safety systems; for those concerned with day-to-day operation of manufacturing facilities; and for those that would benefit from an understanding of potential risks (and options available to reduce those risks), which are inherent in operating chemical plants. This includes but is not limited to:
  • Technologists
  • Engineers
  • Technicians
  • Managers

Description
The intent of this course is to address the three aspects of plant safety system design:

  • Identification of hazards which have the potential to cause or lead to undesirable events as well as quantification of risk associated with those hazards using Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA)
  • Definition of the process design intent to eliminate, mitigate or safely respond to those hazards
  • Proper implementation of a plant safety system that performs as designed over the life of the plant
Emphasis will be placed on guiding principles relating to these aspects of plant safety systems. Discussions will center on issues that need to be addressed in order to make informed and logical decisions.
