Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.---Elevate your process safety decisions with a rigorous, practice-ready program dedicated to Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA).This course gives you the tools, language, and discipline to turn complex scenarios into clear, defensible risk judgments that align with your organization's criteria. You will learn where LOPA fits in the process safety lifecycle, when to use it, and how to apply the method step by step—from selecting scenarios and defining Initiating Events (IEs), to assigning credible Probabilities of Failure on Demand (PFDs), applying Enabling Conditions (ECs) and Conditional Modifiers (CMs), and determining whether risk targets are met.Across the curriculum, we demystify what truly qualifies as an Independent Protection Layer (IPL) by drilling into Independence, Functionality, Integrity, Reliability, Auditability, Access Security, and Management Of Change (MOC).You will see how LOPA connects with Risk-Based Process Safety and PSM systems, how IPL performance is sustained through proof testing and asset integrity, and how to document a complete, auditable LOPA summary sheet that stands up to internal and external scrutiny. Realistic polymerization case studies, worked examples, and guided practice ensure you can replicate the workflow on your own facilities.This program has been designed and delivered by an experienced instructor who is both a CCPS-Certified Process Safety Professional (CCPSC) and a TÜV Certified LOPA Practitioner. Expect a crisp method, transparent assumptions, and evidence-based decision-making you can immediately apply in design reviews, MOC assessments, and operational risk evaluations.By the end, you will be able to quantify residual risk with confidence, identify the right safeguards, and communicate recommendations that win alignment from engineers, operators, and leadership.Enroll now and build LOPA competency that is technically sound, practical, and trusted.Master the Standards.
