This 45-minute self-paced online module covers risk assessment in the context of process safety management (PSM).
This is Module 3 of 15 from the EI's Process Safety Management full training course, designed to provide an introduction to PSM and illustrate how the PSM Framework can be applied to identify address the hazards that are involved in the most industries and provide assurance that risk is being managed to a tolerable level. Each module can be purchased individually, but individuals will benefit most from the full course covering all 20 elements.
Based on content from the EI’s renowned High level framework for process safety management guidance ('PSM framework'), a comprehensive process safety management framework which captures industry good practice in PSM, and taught by a leading expert in process safety and former deputy director of the UK Health & Safety Executive, using recorded presentations and exercises.

Agenda
Purpose:- To make judgements about how to prevent hazards causing harm. To decide what represents sufficient protection and mitigation.
- What risk assessments should be used to determine:
- the fundamental plant design and the basis of safe operations,
- designation of operating parameters – safe operating envelope & designation control systems & alarm protocols
- design of maintenance programmes
- Risk assessment to identify – failure modes of plant, equipment and control systems
- Fault trees
- Failure modes effects analysis
- Taking account of human factors – aiming to reduce human error and avoid fatigue.
- When risk assessment is appropriate (plant design, Management of Change & learning from experience both internal and external)
- Major incident likelihood
- Concept of as low as reasonable practical (ALARP)
- Use of QRA and qualitative risk assessment
- Setting out and documenting Major Accident Scenarios:
- Identification of worst credible events
- Methodologies:
- HAZOP
- LOPA
- What if questions
- Human reliability analysis
- Bow Tie analysis
- Recording conclusions:
- Risk register
- Bow Tie Diagrams
- HAZOP conclusions
- Risk Matrices
What will I learn?
- How risk assessment is used to determine plant/process design, operating parameters and asset management programmes
- Familiarity with the range of risk assessment methodologies in common use
- Concept of ALARP
- Why risk can’t be eliminated in high hazard industries
Who is this suitable for?
- Anyone who would like to develop and expand their understanding of process safety, within the energy sector and the wider network, such as water, power and nuclear sectors.
- Anyone involved in major hazard processes, design and operations
- Safety professionals
- Engineers
- Graduates
How good is it?
- Taught by a leading expert in process safety and former deputy director of the UK Health & Safety Executive
- Based on the EI’s renowned High level framework for process safety management guidance document, which provides the energy industry with a consistent and effective approach to answer two key questions with confidence:
- How will we assure the integrity of the operation?
- How will we know we are doing it?
