Pilot Plant Operations & Scale Up

This course provides a practical understanding of Safety Integrity Level (SIL) assessment and Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) used in process safety and risk management. Participants will learn the fundamentals of process hazards, risk reduction, and the role of independent protection layers in preventing major incidents. The course explains LOPA methodology for evaluating hazardous scenarios and determining the required level of risk reduction. It covers SIL concepts, SIL determination, and the relationship between process risk and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). Participants will understand how initiating events, consequences, safeguards, and protection layers are identified during a LOPA study. The course also introduces SIL verification concepts and the importance of probability of failure on demand (PFD). Practical examples will help participants understand how SIL and LOPA studies are applied in process and engineering projects. The course is relevant to process, instrumentation, control, HSE, and safety engineering professionals working with hazardous processes. By completing this course, participants will develop a structured approach to risk assessment and safety system requirements.
