S1: Risk Based Process Safety Management
Location: Grand Hyatt - Seguin A
Price: $600
Instructor: Prabir Kumar Ghosh
Risk Based Process Safety Management is based on four pillars.
Risk is: What can go wrong? What are the impacts? How likely it is?
The course will expose participants with the four pillars of Risk Based Process Safety Management System as outlined in CCPS publication.
The elements of the each pillar of the Risk Based Process Safety Management systems will be explained in detail which will help participants in designing, developing & installing, such a system.
The objective of the course is to equip the participants to find effective ways to improve their existing process safety management system to become more effective and operate process safely based on Risk Based Process Safety Management system of CCPS.
The scope of the course is to introduce in a simplified manner the work breakdown structure of all the twenty elements comprising four pillars of Risk Based Process Safety Management system starting with description of the element, the key principles, essential features, work activity and implementation options.
S2: Human Factors
Location: Grand Hyatt - Crockett C
Price: $500
Instrustor(s): Dr. Ginette Collazo-Ramos and/or William G. Bridges
Human error is widely acknowledged as the major cause of quality, production, and safety risks in many industries. This course explains the underlying reasons why humans make mistakes and how you can prevent these mistakes. Although it is unlikely that human error will ever be completely prevented, there is growing recognition that many human performance problems stem from a failure within organizations to develop an effective policy for managing human reliability.
The course will provide hands-on experience of practical error reduction techniques, using real-life case studies. You will also gain an understanding of the underlying causes of human error and how to reduce its occurrence by changing the culture of the organization and changing the design of the processes. Workshops are used throughout the course to illustrate concepts and to demonstrate human error analysis applications.

S4: Determining and Using Risk Tolerance Criteria for Process Safety Applications
Location: Grand Hyatt - Crockett B
Price: $500
Instructor: Dr. Paul Baybutt
Process safety decisions must be made with reference to risk tolerance criteria, either explicit or implicit. Increasingly, risk analysis methods and codes, standards and regulations around the world are moving towards the use of numerical criteria, for example, with the use of Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA) and standards for safety instrumented systems such as IEC 61511 / ISA 84. Various issues must be addressed if such criteria are to be set correctly and used meaningfully. This training course covers various issues that must be addressed in setting risk tolerance criteria and the many pitfalls that can be encountered in using them. Participants are taught a procedure to use in setting criteria for their process safety studies.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
Be able to determine and use numerical risk tolerance criteria for use with risk analysis methods such as Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA) and to comply with standards such as IEC 61511 and ISA 84 for safety instrumented systems.
