One of the key components of Safety Case is to demonstrate risk reduction to ALARP level by adopting and implementing control measures. Therefore\, there is a need to understand the use of these principles with respect to the level of uncertainty and on the risk criteria. In this case-study led workshop\, delegates will be taught on the key concepts\, and approaches taken to demonstrate or provide evidence on ALARP. The idea behind ALARP is to demonstrate risk reductions in MHI based on reasonable practicability and gross disproportion\, which is a balancing act between cost and risk. As far as the application of numerical risk criteria is concerned\, it is not always correct and thus the demonstration of ALARP and the usage of risk criteria should be justified based on the categorization of risk which may be either qualitative\, semi-quantitative\, or quantitative. Many Countries regulate Major Hazard sites using a \nsafety case regime based on a risk-based approach to process safety; Singapore is rolling out such a regime as mentioned. These regimes require that risk is controlled to ALARP (As Low AS Reasonably Practicable) level which is a very different approach to safety management than the compliance approach that many operators are familiar with. This course covers the important principles of ALARP\, which is a commonly misunderstood concept. It discusses the variability of ALARP requirements for managing similar hazards in different circumstances and the application of risk targets. It looks at different ways of assessing risk from quantified approaches to qualitative approaches for both consequence and frequency analysis and when to use these. The application of inherent safety principles and recognised good practice are discussed along with Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) and the concepts of reasonably practicable and disproportionality. Besides demonstrating ALARP in the safety case\, ALARP should be applied throughout the lifecycle of any facility. This workshop will touch on how to apply the concept in different situations such as during design\, specifying instrumented safety systems\, operating procedures\, and coverage during maintenance of safety critical equipment. Several case studies are presented for the delegates to work through and a discussion on common errors and how the concept is often misused. Throughout this workshop\, participants will be\ntaught on how to prove that ALARP has been properly implemented as part of effective risk management and how ALARP is implemented in the design\, development\, and operation of engineering systems. \nList of Case Studies & ALARP Principles\nThis workshop is designed to be interactive with participants getting to join in the discussion and will get to share and contribute his work experience for common learning experience. The trainer will provide and share a list of case studies to participants and it draws from his previous and present work experience when he works on ALARP and the list is as follow: \n\nVarying ALARP requirements – Tank Farm overfill\nApplying Inherent Safety principles in ALARP – Solvents tank farm\n\nNo industrial activity is entirely free from risk and so many companies and regulators around the world require that safety risks are reduced to levels that are As Low as Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). The ‘ALARP’ region lies somewhere between unacceptably high and negligible risk levels. Even if a level of risk has been judged to be in the ‘ALARP’ region\, it is still necessary to consider introducing further risk reduction measures\nto drive the remaining risks downward. Keeping ‘As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)’is an essential part of mechanical engineering across all major industries. The application of the ALARP framework varies depending on the technical and economic context. \nThe ALARP level is reached when the time\, trouble and cost of further reduction measures become unreasonably disproportionate to the additional risk reduction obtained. However\, during operations\, the attention is on collecting feedback\, improving procedures and managing change to maintain the residual risk at an ALARP level and the ALARP today may not be the ALARP tomorrow and hence\, periodic review is\nnecessary. In Singapore\, process safety is covered under the WSH Act and specifically under the following regulations: \n\nWSH (Risk Management) Regulations\nWSH (General Provisions) Regulations\nWSH (Registration of Factories) Regulations\nWSH (Safety and Health Management System) Regulations\nRecently WSH (Major Hazard Installations) Regulations\n\nWith the recently enacted WSH (Major Hazards Installations) Regulations\, companies are now required to draft and submit safety case to Major Hazards Department\, Ministry of Manpower in order to obtain Major Hazard Installation certificate of registration. In the safety case\, companies are required to submit PHA study and in it\, is the HAZOP study. \nWho Should Attend\nEngineers\, Executives\, Supervisors\, and Managers especially those who work in Technical & Planning\, Production/Operation\, Engineering\, and SHE departments in Refinery\, Chemicals\, and Petrochemical settings will benefit by attending this course. \nPotential attendees are listed out as follow: \n\nProcess Engineer\nProcess Champion\nEHS Engineer\nProduction Engineer\nProduction Supervisor\nMaintenance Engineer\nOperations Engineer\nMechanical Engineer\nPiping Engineer\nProduction Manager\nTechnical Manager\nTechnical Development Manager\n\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nLEARN the essential principles of ALARP and how it fits within a Safety Case\nGAIN the key concepts of ALARP principles and the fundamental approaches for its applications\nKNOW the HSE principles for Cost Benefit Analyses (CBA) in support of ALARP decisions\nUNDERSTAND the approaches to good practice and to demonstrate ALARP using different decision making criteria\nACQUIRE tools and techniques to determine factors in selecting or rejecting control measures\nWith each process deviation\, APPLY the concept of ALARP (As Low as Reasonably Practicable) or risk elimination on the causes and consequences\nBECOME familiar with PHA study\, its context in WSH Act and its relation in Safety Case regime\nExercise CAUTION in regards to reverse ALARP whereby CBA or QRA is used to justify higher risk URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/alarp-principles-guidelines/ LOCATION:Singapore\, Singapore CATEGORIES:Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:1.352083;103.819836 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170503 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170504 DTSTAMP:20260920T234608 CREATED:20170622T084644Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170622T085335Z UID:10000057-1493769600-1493855999@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Advanced Practical Centrifugal Pump DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis 3 day course will allow the participants the ability to improve pump reliability and reduce power consumption and therefore make a huge difference to the organization’s profitability.The over-riding aim of the pump and system training course is to reduce the costs associate with owning and running pumps.

This legislation places a high demand on those operating hazardous plants to demonstrate that they have taken ‘all reasonable measures’ to prevent major accidents and limit their consequences. \nFor sites holding an inventory of dangerous substances above certain thresholds for flammibility\, toxicity or eco-toxicity\, a key requirement is to write a Safety Case. This document presents a demonstration that all Major Accident Hazards suitable risk controls have been implemented which provide protection throughout the lifecycle of the plant. There needs to be robust management arrangements to support the required level of protection\, covering key elements of a Process Safety Management system. \n  \nPreparation of Safety Cases in the UK follows detailed guidance from the UK Health & Safety Executive (HSE)\, which gives key criteria for information to be included in the Safety Case. This requires prescribed information and demonstrations under the headings; Descriptive Aspects\,\nPredictive Aspects\, Management System\, Technical Measures\, Environmental Aspects and Emergency Planning. This course will provide practical guidance on providing this data to a suitable level of detail\, outlining the need for a multi-disciplinary team and detailed project programme with key milestones. \n  \nA key requirement for Safety Cases is to identify potential Major Accidents and conduct a proportionate risk assessment to demonstrate that ‘all measures necessary’ have been applied. This aspect is fundamental to all the other demonstrations in the Safety Case\, and has resulted in many being rejected by the HSE during the assessment phase. This course will provide a detailed approach for identifying major accidents\, developing a ‘representative set’ of scenarios for the site\, and carrying out a proportionate and quantified risk assessment for these scenarios. The objective is to show that ‘relevant good practice’ has been applied in order to reduce risks to ‘as low as reasonably practicable’ (ALARP). \n  \nWho Should Attend\nThis course has been designed for people likely to be affected by the new Safety Case regime.

Consideration of the costs over the whole life of an asset provides a sound basis for decision-making. With this information\, it is possible to:- \n\nAssess future resource requirements\nUncover potential costs of potential acquisitions\nDecide between sources of supply\nAccount for resources used now or in the past\nImprove system design\nOptimise operational and maintenance support\, through more detailed understanding of input requirements over the expected life cycle\nAssess when assets reach the end of their economic life and if renewal is required\n\nThe life cycle costing process can be simple as a table of expected annual costs or it can be a complex model that allows for the creation of scenarios based on assumptions about future cost drivers. The scope and complexity of the life cycle cost analysis should generally reflect the complexity of the assets under investigation\, the ability to predict future costs and the significance of the future costs to the decision being made by the organisation. \nA life cycle cost analysis involves the analysis of the cost of a system or a component over its entire life span. Typical costs for a system may include: \n\nAcquisition costs\nOperating costs\nCost of failure\nCost of repair\nCost of spares\nDowntime costs\nLoss of production\nMaintenance costs\nCost of corrective maintenance\nCost of preventative maintenance\nCost of predictive maintenance\nDisposal costs\n\nThis course take delegates through the six steps of LCC which are “Problem Definition”\, “Cost Elements definition”\, “System Modelling”\, “Data Collection”\, Cost Profile Development” and “Evaluation”. \n  \nWho Should Attend\n• All plant Engineers engaged in maintenance\, turnarounds and minor projects\n• All project personnel involved in the project design and management\n• Plant financial personnel\n• Contractor personnel involved in plant maintenance and projects \n \n\nKey Learning Points Include:\n• To make plant personnel aware of theimportance of overall equipment availability atthe least cost\n• To share financial principles to enable engineers to arrive at the least cost options in solving technical problems\n• To enable project managers/engineers to justify higher initial cost where lower overall life cycle cost and higher reliability result\n• To make all participants aware of the time value of money and the Cost of Non Conformance (PONC) \n  \nEndorsed by: \n   \n    \n  \n \nOur definitive portal\, The Power Times provides information and news on power generation\, transmission and distribution entities.
