UNIT I SAFETY SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT IN INDUSTRY

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 PROTECTION ANALYSIS IN INDUSTRY

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, safety instrumented function.

UNIT III SAFETY IN CHEMICAL PROCESS INDUSTRIES

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.

UNIT IV SAFETY SECURITY IN PROCESS INDUSTRIES

Site security for process industries – Essential elements – threat analysis, security counter measures, mitigation and emergency response. Specific security measures – information security, cyber security, physical security, policies and procedures, training, mitigation and response, inherently safer processes. Case study.

UNIT V SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
