Advanced Fire and Explosion Investigations
2016-08-03 | Malaysia, Malaysia
Overview
A US Chemical Safety Board study found 26 explosions and fires since 1983 at conventional oil and gas sites that killed 44 members of the public and injured 25 others. The percentage of death caused by fire and gas explosions while a small percentage, is certainly unacceptable, and industry safety should be a No. 1 priority. Measures have been adopted throughout the industry to prevent fires and explosions, such as better design standards, gas detectors, strict control of potential ignition sources, rigid smoking restrictions and new firefighting equipment. Fire and gas explosion investigation continues to be of paramount importance to understand what could go wrong and how to prevent past fatalities from happening.

Human Factors Safety Critical Task Analysis (SCTA)
2024-11-21 - 2024-11-22, 2025-12-10 - 2025-12-11, 2026-02-02 - 2026-02-03, 2026-04-20 - 2026-04-22, 2026-06-22 - 2026-06-23, 2026-06-24 - 2026-06-25 | Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Why Choose this Training Course
Human Factors is recognized as a key topic for addressing safety in the oil, gas, onshore chemical plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing and power generation sectors.
What is Safety Critical Task Analysis (SCTA)?
Task Analysis refers to the study of what actions and mental processes a person needs to perform to achieve a goal (Kirwan and Ainsworth). It often breaks down tasks into smaller subtasks to describe how they are done.
Safety Critical Task Analysis (SCTA), on the other hand, focuses on tasks that are critical to preventing major accidents. These are tasks where human factors can contribute to, cause, or fail to mitigate a major accident.
Definition of a Safety Critical Task (SCT):
An SCT is any task where human error could:

Cause or contribute to a major accident
Fail to prevent or mitigate one

SCTs occur in various operational contexts, such as:

Operational tasks: e.g., loading liquid petroleum gas (LPG), sampling hazardous substances, or isolating piping/equipment.
Prevention and detection: e.g., testing safety systems or overriding safety functions.
Control and mitigation: e.g., testing pressure safety valves or firewater pumps.
Emergency response: e.g., deploying firefighting equipment or launching lifeboats.

A “major accident” refers to an event like a large emission, fire, or explosion that poses serious risks to health or the environment, as defined by the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations.
SCTA Process

Identify Safety Critical Tasks: Determine which tasks are critical to safety.
Prioritize SCTs for Analysis: Decide which tasks need deeper analysis.
Analyze Human Actions: Study which human actions or inactions could lead to failure.
Install Layers of Protection: Develop safeguards to reduce human error or its consequences.

SCTA is often conducted during project design or safety updates, but it’s increasingly embedded into operations as an ongoing activity, especially when tasks and equipment change.
Importance of Embedding SCTA in Operations
For large-scale operations, getting specialist input at every site may not be practical. Therefore, companies are building SCTA knowledge within their workforce, especially at the management and supervisory levels. This approach improves:

Risk assessment quality
Incident investigations
Improvement suggestions

SCTA also supports better maintenance and safety culture by giving personnel a structured way to examine their procedures. This can reveal key barriers to safety and the steps necessary to protect them.
Performance Influencing Factors (PIFs)
A key element of SCTA is understanding PIFs. These factors can either strengthen or degrade safety barriers. Personnel who are familiar with these factors can:

Recognize when safeguards are failing
Understand how human performance impacts safety

Benefits of SCTA
A well-executed SCTA program can lead to:

Improved major accident hazard (MAH) safety performance
Fewer environmental incidents
Reduced production downtime
Improved quality
Cost reduction in major projects

In summary, SCTA is a powerful tool for analyzing human factors in safety-critical tasks, helping to prevent major accidents and improve safety performance across industries.
Who Should Attend

Plant Managers
Process Safety specialists
Process plant designers
Supervisors
Senior process operators
Procedures and training developers

Key Learning Objectives

Understand Human Factors and SCTA
Understand the different types of human error that need to be addressed within process safety
Be able to use techniques such as Hierarchical Task Analysis, Human Failure and Consequence analyses, and Performance Influencing Factors evaluations for simple tasks
Be able to develop risk-informed procedures and competency standards based on the results of the SCTA work
Start to think about developing policies and a programme of work using SCTA to address human factors in process safety, with particular emphasis on satisfying regulatory requirements such as COMAH
