PHA/LOPA training program summary

This course is intended to give participants an overview of the PHA/LOPA process by teaching techniques and tools to assist in guiding teams through the qualitative risk analysis process.

The PHA/LOPA portion of this combined course consists of one day in-person with two days of eLearning courses. eLearning modules will be sent before the start date with two days’ worth of material.

Course Learning Objectives:

Participants will learn techniques and tools to assist in guiding teams through the qualitative risk analysis process. This course will cover a basic understanding of best practices in a successful process hazard analysis and semi-quantitative tools like LOPA . At the end of the course, participants will have the ability to practice techniques and tools covered in mock PHA/LOPA sessions to better prepare them for participating in an actual study.

Who should attend?  

Process safety managers, engineers, operators, or I&E/Maintenance, project engineers, or anyone else who is anticipated to be involved in a PHA study, whether for an operating company, for an engineering company, or as a consultant.

 

Why should someone take your course?

To acquire the skills to become an effective PHA and LOPA facilitator and/or team member.

The course will discuss the following elements:

  • Introduction to HIRA techniques
  • Hazard identification (HAZID)
  • What-if analysis and checklists
  • HAZOP method review
  • Preparation, Facilitation, and PHA Variants
  • LOPA method review
  • Mock sessions practicing analysis methods

Hazards Awareness (Testing Demonstrations) course summary

In the Hazards Awareness portion of this combined course, you’ll learn about actual industry events. See what has caused the incidents that have shaped our industry and discuss the lessons learned. In the second half of the day, visit the Wilfred E. Baker Test Facility (Scull Crossing) in-person to witness an actual loss of containment event. Feel the heat of a jet fire on your face and the pressure from a vapor cloud explosion on your chest. You will be able to return to work with a new understanding of how hazards become incidents.

Course Learning Objectives:

Participants will learn about historical incidents that have shaped the process safety industry, the physics behind accidental releases, vapor cloud explosions, fires, and structural response to these hazards.  You’ll feel the thump on your chest from explosions and the heat of a jet fire on your face, giving each participant an appreciation for process hazards in a safe and fun environment.

Who should attend?  

Process safety staff, management, and all employees on site who would benefit from a better appreciation of the hazards and the importance of process safety

Why should someone take your course? 

There’s a saying in occupational safety, the person who best appreciates ladder safety is the one who’s fallen off a ladder.  This course helps make process safety personal and provides an exciting and insightful experience that your employees will remember for a lifetime!

Course Content:  

The course will include both classroom instruction and hazard demonstrations of:

  • Gaseous dispersions (PSV, flange, orifice)
  • Gaseous and liquid jet fires
  •  Flash fires
  • Multiple explosions (propane, hydrogen, dust, and vented deflagration)
  • Structural response to a blast
  • Dropped objects with and without a hard hat
  • Bursting pressure vessel (BPV)
  • Contact us to request custom demonstrations

Important Notes

We recommend registering for both courses (PHA & LOPA Training and Hazards Awareness [Testing Demonstrations]) but if you want it to be broken up you can register for PHA & LOPA Training or Hazards Awareness Course (Testing Demonstrations) separately.

For PHA/LOPA trainings covering 1 day in-person with eLearning courses: eLearning modules will be sent before the start date with 2 days worth of materials and 1 day in person
