UNIT I INTRODUCTION TO DOMINO INCIDENT INVESTIGATION AND MORT ANALYSIS
Domino incident investigation – technique, logic diagram, input requirements, output, example. Unavailability analysis of protective systems – technique, logic diagram, input requirements, example. Reliability analysis of automatic control systems – PES safety system development logic diagram system analysis, calculation of fractional dead time, application, strengths and weaknesses.
UNIT II BASIC CONCEPTS ON LOPA
Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) – Overview of relevant standards and guidelines, risk tolerance criteria. Preparation of LOPA-LOPA methodology, the LOPA team.Scenario development – components, inherently safe considerations.Initiating causes / effects – identification, estimation of frequencies. Independent protection layers – IPL criteria, allocation of IPL credit – basic process control systems, operator response, pressure relief device, safety instrumented system.
UNIT III SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT AND PROTECTION
Security for chemical process industries – Assessments and regulatory environment, methods for assessing security vulnerability, emerging security regulations, government development and industry activities that relate to security for process facilities. Strategies and counter measures – prevention of intentional releases and theft of chemical releases at process facilities. Case study.
UNIT IV BEHAVIOUR BASED SAFETY IN ORGANIZATIONS
Behavior- Based Safety (BBS) – Fundamentals of BBS Management – people based safety, BBSexperience, Outcomes of BBS work, psychology of BBS, Implementation problems in BBS, Behavioral safety Observation Process. Mangers role in developing BBS culture.BBS steering committee. Main steps of True BBS approach.
UNIT V SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Safety Management Systems: SHEMS, OHSAS 18001 and OSHA¥s PSM – Policy, planning, training, implementation, management control and review.
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
