INTRODUCTION
Oil & Gas plants have the potential for large losses due to the severity of operating conditions and the volume of material being processed and stored. The main risk arises from the production and handling of flammable and explosive petroleum products such as LPG and gases under pressure such as natural gas (LNG). Loss of containment of these products together with formation of flammable mixtures with air and the availability of suitable ignition sources to ignite the mixture can give rise to various accident scenarios. In addition to the inherent risk of the chemical, and the hazardous nature of operation and process other factors such as degrading equipment and performance can also contribute to hazardous situations. Identification of hazards provides an early warning to management, which can then take the necessary measures. Operators require an improved understanding of the operation to troubleshoot the process and prevent hazardous situations. The course will cover assessment of process risk, matching risk levels to safety system performance requirements and estimating overall system performance. Safety aspects during design, implementation, and ongoing maintenance/ testing, emergency shutdown systems, etc., in the process industry will be discussed.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

  • Provide the basis for identifying and preventing hazardous occurrences.
  • Integrate Safety in normal operations
  • Acquaint with approaches and methodologies used to classify & quantify hazards.
  • Help understand the impacts of changing operating conditions and design modifications on the operation of a process.
  • Initiate response to deviations and deficiencies in process design and its control system;
  • Anticipate problems & implement corrective measures
  • Ensure safe practices and reduction of errors, mishaps and/ or accidents; analyze incidents & near-misses
  • Acquaint engineers and managers with recent advances in Hazard Assessment tools and supporting software.
  • Increase efficiency, safety and productivity
