Modern Safety Systems
Where risks threaten workers, the environment or the public, a legal responsibility arises. The identification of hazards and the development of risk control measures to minimize the risk arising from them is increasingly a requirement of legislation, as well as being a practical way for organizations to recognize the conditions and circumstances which give rise to loss, damage and injury. The responsibility of managers is essentially to set up the systems of work and the infrastructure within which it takes place. The first need in setting up a system of work is to ensure that the required work can be done. In law, the obligation of managers is to ensure that the system and place of work, the equipment used, supervision provided and education given to workers is 'safe'. Being pro-active means actively assessing and periodically re-assessing the standards of risk control. Being systematic means looking at risks everywhere and using a documented process of assessment. Aims This course is designed to introduce Modern Safety Systems. The course will: Define the terms used in modern risk assessment Describe the various methods used in quantitative and qualitative risk assessment Develop practical skills in risk evaluation Learning Outcomes Recognize the occasions when Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments should be carried out Identify and document hazards in the workplace Collect information on hazards from a range of sources Review information in consultation with employees who do the work Complete the ‘Hazard Hunting’ Work-sheet for failure mechanisms Use a systematic method for estimating risk as a basis for setting priorities for risk reduction proposals Describe the risk verbally and analyze present and future circumstances Obtain a numerical value for the risk Identify options for control Evaluate and prioritize the risk control options considering financial, logical, legal, emotional and ethical issues Content Introduction Why should you identify hazards and assess risks? The principles of injury and damage prevention When should you identify hazards and assess risks? What is Process Safety? How does it differ from other methods? Hazards What is a hazard? How can they be controlled? How can they be measured? How can they be managed? Uncertainty and Risk Failure modes Chemical process failures Mechanical failures Internal and external influences Perception of risk The Risk Assessment Process Risk description Risk estimation — the formula Risk estimation – sources of information Risk reduction options Evaluating risk control options Specific Hazards Pressure vessels Thermal energy devices Flow controllers Software control systems Risk Control Human error characteristics Failure probability tables Principles of reliability engineering Decision Making on Risk Reduction Proposals Who should make the decision? Decision making and due diligence Target Population Managers who may be required to manage design or design alteration tasks; those who are to complete those tasks; operators who need to provide feedback on design outcomes in practical terms.
