  • Technical Safety and Risk Management — ORS Consulting

    Technical safety and risk management is the set of activities to identify hazards and assess and manage risks. Technical risk management is a fundamental part of all sectors and industries where incidents and accidents can cause harm to personnel, environment, asset, or reputation. SERVICES Technical Safety and Risk Management Up Anchor 1 Technical risk management is a set of activities to identify hazards and assess and manage risks. Technical risk management is a fundamental part of all sectors and industries where incidents and accidents can cause harm to personnel, environment, assets, or reputation. The main activities within this area are: Technical risk advisory throughout a project or asset operation to ensure that safety design minimizes harm to personnel, environment, and asset, and meets regulatory requirements; Risk-based workshops for identification of hazards in a multi-discipline and collaborative environment; Performing risk analysis to establish risk picture, based on the frequency and consequence assessment, and benchmark with acceptance criteria. Technical Safety and Risk Related Studies Escape, EvaCuation, and Rescue (EER) Escape Evacuation and Rescue (EER) strategy and assessments ensure that a facility is designed and operated away allowing safety for personnel during the evacuation, availability of muster areas, the quick rescue of personnel, and controlled evacuation. Quantitative Risk Assessments (QRA) A QRA is a method to calculate and evaluate the frequency and consequences of the major accident hazards for a facility. The resulting risk picture is benchmarked with acceptance criteria and is efficient for ensuring a safe and robust design, as well as compliance with regulatory requirements. CFD is used at ORS for assessing the consequences of hazardous events such as fire, explosion, and toxic dispersion as part of QRAs. Gas Dispersion, Explosion and Fire Assessment Process plant layout and mechanical design need to be robust to minimize escalation if a loss of containment occurs. ORS has state of the art software solutions (such as CFD) and expertise for the assessment of dispersion, explosion, and fire (pool, jet, and spray fires) and the ability to interface this with blowdown and flare assessment to minimize the likelihood of vessel rupture in the event a release occurs elsewhere on the plant. Learn more > Safety Case A safety case is a demonstration of how health and safety hazards are managed for a facility. This requires systematic identification of hazards, evaluation of consequences and implementation of risk reducing measures to meet As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) principles. HAZID/HAZOP Hazard Identification (HAZID) and Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies are structured multi-discipline workshops in order to identify hazards for a system design, evaluate the consequences for safety, environment, and asset, and identify measures to reduce the risk. A HAZOP is typically performed for process systems with a potential for loss of containment. Learn more> EHAZOP/CHAZOP Electrical Hazard and Identification (EHAZOP) is similar to HAZOP with regards to identifying hazards and operability issues. However, unlike HAZOP, EHAZOP focuses only on electrical systems. A Control Hazard and Operability Study (CHAZOP) covers programmable control systems (e.g. PLC and SCADA) and IT systems. SAFOP/SIMOPS A Safety and Operability Study (SAFOP) is commonly carried out prior to operations to identify hazards, evaluate consequences and define mitigating measures to avoid accidents and incidents. WHAT-IF WHAT-IF analysis is a structured analytic technique used to determine what systems, activities, operations can go wrong in a facility based on different scenarios. Based on the answers to the what-if questions, a facility can then judge the consequences of the activities that can go wrong.

  • Process Safety and SIL — ORS Consulting

    ORS is a leading provider of Process Safety and SIL. We are helping businesses and facilities with a wide range of services, including all lifecycles of functional safety management, HAZOPs, dynamic process simulations, process safety time assessments, and overpressure protection assessments. services Process Safety and SIL Up Anchor 1 Any process that handles hazardous substances has the potential for a loss of containment event that could lead to a significant incident. Asset owners need to ensure that the process equipment is designed, maintained, and operated to minimize the likelihood of this. Process Safety is a framework for ensuring that the process design envelope is protected and has resilience against system failures and degradation. Process safety consequently focuses on preventing or mitigating loss of containment scenarios that could lead to fires, explosions, and accidental chemical releases at process facilities. An important part of Process Safety is Functional Safety. The core of functional safety is about defining requirements for instrumented safety systems and so-called safety instrumented functions, which normally include an input device, logic solver, and a final element. ORS is a leading provider of Process Safety and SIL. We are helping businesses and facilities with a wide range of services, including all lifecycles of functional safety management, HAZOPs, dynamic process simulations, process safety time assessments and overpressure protection assessments. Process Safety and SIL ReLAted Studies HAZOP HAZOP is a structured, multi-discipline assessment of a process system to ensure that the risk for loss of containment is minimized and that the design meets process safety-related standards. Learn More> Dynamic Process Simulation Dynamic simulation of a process plant behaviour to better understand the effects of failures and the ability of the design to safely address these failures. Process Safety Time Assessment Ensuring that Safety Instrumented Systems can react within a suitable period following a process disturbance and avoid the design envelope from being exceeded. Steady-state and dynamic methodologies are used to meet IEC 61511 and ISO 10418 requirements. Flare, Venting, Relief, & Blowdown System Performance Safe disposal of fluids in an emergency situation is an essential part of any process plant design. Hence flare systems are considered safety-critical. We use Flare System Analyzer and other industry-standard tools to ensure back-pressures, velocities, momentum, flare tip radiation, and low-temperature material design constraints are all met. Overpressure Protection assessment Different combinations of instrumented and mechanical overpressure protection systems exist in all process plant designs. Vessel and piping design reviews, relief valve sizing and selection to the requirements of API 520/521/526, and reliability assessments of instrumented systems under IEC61511 are all necessary to ensure the system is suitably protected. Functional Safety Management Plan The Functional Safety Plan describes the project plan, organization and principles to ensure functional Safety throughout the entire period of the project development and asset operation. A functional safety plan must state a set of measures to ensure that the target Safety Integrity Level (SIL) is achieved. SIL Allocation/LOPA SIL allocation, e.g. with Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA) is a methodology for defining performance requirements for safety instrumented functions. In addition, the assessment can be used to evaluate whether adequate protection layers are in place to reduce risks to acceptable levels. SIL Compliance verification A SIL Compliance verification is applied to confirm that Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) meet the performance requirements, as detailed in the functional safety process. Such requirements include reliability requirements, architectural requirements as well as a demonstration of avoidance and control of systematic errors. Functional Safety Assessment (FSA) FSA is a third-party evaluation of the functional safety activities in a project, to confirm that standards (such as IEC 61508 and 61511) as well as Company requirements are correctly applied. FSAs are typically performed in steps depending on the phase and maturity of the project. The FSA prevents systematic failures and helps to ensure that functional safety is achieved in facilities. Safety Manual A Safety Manual is documentation provided by equipment or system suppliers justifying use in SIL-related functions. The intention with the Safety Manual is to provide input documentation for the overall SIL Compliance verification, and to demonstrate that the supplier organization, management systems and manufacturing process ensure sufficient reliability and minimizes systematic errors. SIS Performance Monitoring Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) performance monitoring involves follow-up and benchmarking of SIS component failure frequency against design documentation and acceptance criteria. Among others, this can be used to adjust test intervals, improve test and maintenance regime or input to modification projects. Process safety training We support organizations with tailormade training courses within all aspects of process safety. For example, ORS has supported asset owners with SIL training for operators, functional safety management, technical safety, and planning / execution of Process Hazard Analysis. Proof test procedures Proof Test Procedures involve systematic testing of Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) to detect hidden dangerous failures that diagnostics might miss. These procedures ensure that sensors, logic solvers, and final elements can respond to hazardous conditions as intended, maintaining the required Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and optimizing maintenance intervals. Pre start-up safety reviews (PSSR) Pre Start-Up Safety Reviews (PSSR) are comprehensive evaluations conducted before initiating operations of new or modified equipment. The PSSR process verifies that all safety, environmental, and operational requirements are met, ensuring the facility is safe to start up. This includes reviewing documentation, field verification, and addressing any outstanding safety. cause and effects (c&e) The cause-and-effect diagram offers information about different causes and their trip effects on the field equipment. This document is used for e.g. emergency shutdown (ESD), process shutdown (PSD) and fire and gas systems (F&G) to identify various causes and their associated trips in a matrix style for better and simpler interpretation. Causes can include a change in the state of a digital input, a High High/Low Low alarm from an analogue input, and interlock logic. Effects can include i.a. tripping a motor or pump, closing a valve, opening a pressure relief valve or activating an emergency alarm.
