Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) Masterclass

What you'll learn
Explain the purpose and principles of Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA).
Identify initiating events, independent protection layers (IPLs), and potential consequences.
Apply the LOPA methodology to evaluate process safety scenarios.
Determine whether existing safeguards meet acceptable risk criteria.
Understand the relationship between LOPA and Safety Integrity Levels (SIL).
Recognize common pitfalls and limitations in LOPA studies.
Integrate LOPA into broader process safety management frameworks.
Requirements
A background in chemical/process engineering or related disciplines is recommended but not mandatory.
Description
Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) is a widely used semi-quantitative risk assessment technique that helps organizations evaluate and manage process safety risks effectively. This course introduces learners to the principles, methodology, and application of LOPA, bridging the gap between Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies and advanced quantitative risk assessment. Participants will gain a practical understanding of how LOPA supports safety integrity level (SIL) determination, decision-making, and regulatory compliance.Through real-world case studies and guided exercises, learners will develop the skills to systematically evaluate initiating events, independent protection layers (IPLs), and consequences. The course emphasizes the structured approach to risk evaluation, highlighting how LOPA ensures risks are reduced to tolerable levels. Special focus is placed on industry best practices, standards, and common pitfalls in LOPA implementation.Designed for professionals working in safety, engineering, and risk management, this course balances theory with hands-on applications. Learners will discover how LOPA integrates into the broader process safety management (PSM) framework, supporting safer plant design, operation, and maintenance. By the end of the training, participants will be equipped with the confidence to contribute to or lead LOPA studies within their organizations be it the oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, food and process industries.Whether you are new to risk assessment or seeking to enhance your existing expertise, this course provides the foundation and applied knowledge to use LOPA as a reliable decision-making tool. It prepares learners to evaluate complex scenarios, identify gaps in protection, and recommend cost-effective safety measures that align with organizational and regulatory requirements. So, wait no more and enroll in this online course and learn at your own pace wherever you are!
