What You Will Learn

DAY ONE

Fundamental principles of Risk Analysis

In simple terms, risk management is an approach used by organizations to control losses. It involves identifying hazardous situations in the work environment and assessing the associated risks; then acting to minimize the possible consequences of these situations.

  • Exercise Spot the Hazards
Definitions and acronyms used in RBI assessments.
Basic concepts of risk acceptance, perception of risk and using event tree analysis

ETA is a primary tool of Probabilistic Risk Assessment. In technical risk assessment, the initial state, or “initiating event,” is generally a hazard or failure, the intermediate events are potential propagation paths, and the final states are either conditions of loss (degradation, damage, destruction, death) or successful loss mitigation.

Understanding Risk Based Asset Management (RBAM) and Risk Based Management (RBM)

Fundamentally, a risk-based asset-management system collects relevant information based on the importance to the value stream and uses this information to make fiscally responsible decisions that will, in turn, create greater value to the organization. There are four phases in the risk-based asset-management model that are critical for the success in deployment of this strategy. The four phases are: Classify, Analyse, Control, and Measure.

  • Video Asset Integrity Management

  • Asset life cycle and life cycle cost management implications to RBI

    A key process within asset management is the understanding of asset life cycle. There are four key stages of the asset lifecycle, which this section will classify and describe. The four key stages of the asset lifecycle are: Planning – Acquisition – Operation and Maintenance – Disposal Organisations need to implement a Risk-Based Maintenance strategy if the risk of consequence far outweighs the cost of equipment.

  • DAY TWO

    Assessment of probability of failure (PoF) and consequence of failure (CoF)

    Probability of Failure (POF) is likelihood that a piece of equipment will fail at a given time and an important part of effective risk analyses. POF is half of the equation when determining risk as part of Risk Based Inspection (RBI) methodology. The POF, calculated together with the Consequence of Failure (COF), helps operators establish the risk level for a particular piece of equipment and set inspection intervals based on the calculated risk.

    POF is calculated for individual pieces of equipment by looking at the potential damage mechanisms it could be susceptible to, a general frequency of failures, and management system factors. More details on POF are provided in the American Petroleum Institute’s Recommended Practice 580 – Risk Based Inspection (RBI), which contains directions on developing, implementing, and maintaining an effective RBI program.

    Using data and knowledge in QRA as a useful decision-support tool

    A Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) is the systematic development of the safety and risk management tool through engineering, procurement, construction and operation for oil, gas, chemical and petrochemical plants. The QRA is the identifying risks and evaluating possible accidental events (frequency and fatality), and calculation of the risks for leaks and explosions of the plant.

    Principles and main steps of risk analysis

    Risk analysis is the methodical study of uncertainties and risks we encounter in business, engineering, public policy, amongst other areas. Risk Analysis an essential tool when your work involves risk. It can help you identify and understand the risks.

    • Exercise Principles and main steps of Risk Analysis
    • Video Hazard and Risk
    Qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative approaches

    Qualitative Risk Assessments and Quantitative Risk Assessments are specialised methods for calculating risks to individuals, public (societal risk), the environment and/or assets. As part of the formal safety assessment required in the project HSE management, a QRA is highly demanded by clients to identify major accident hazards and reduce the significant risk contributor according to the As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) principle.

    DAY THREE

    Nature of Risk and its definition

    According to ISO 31000, risk is the “effect of uncertainty on objectives” and an effect is a positive or negative deviation from what is expected.

    Risk probability and impact.

    The Risk Impact/Probability Chart is based on the principle that a risk has two primary dimensions: Probability – A risk is an event that “may” occur.

    • Case Study Case Study Structural Deviation
    Probability impact matrix

    Low impact/low probability – Low impact/high probability – High impact/low probability – High impact/high probability

    With the Risk Impact/Probability Chart, you map out each risk – and its position determines its priority. High-probability/high-impact risks are the most critical, and you should put a great deal of effort into managing these. The low-probability/high-impact risks and high-probability/low-impact risks are next in priority, though you may want to adopt different strategies for each.

  • Exercises using Corrective Maintenance Prioritisation tools.

  • Applying mitigation methodology

    Risk mitigation strategies are action plans you conceptualize after making a thorough evaluation of the possible threats, hazards or detriments that can affect a project, a business operation, or any form of venture. The purpose of such strategies is to lessen or reduce, if not totally eliminate the adverse impacts of the known or perceived risks inherent in a particular undertaking, even before any damage or disaster takes place.

    DAY FOUR

    Deviation Analysis, Hazard and Operability Studies, Energy Analysis

    The Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study is the most widely used Process Hazards Analysis (PHA) technique in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, oil and gas, nuclear, and other process industries worldwide. HAZOP is used during the design stages of a new process or project, for major process modifications, and for periodic review of existing operations.

    • Case study What is HAZOP?
    Failure Modes, Effects Analysis, HAZOP’s (Hazard and Operability Studies)

    Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is an alternative method of hazard identification: it is less formalized than Hazop and involves the consideration of the possible outcomes from all discerned failure modes or deviations within a system.
