6-Stage Hazards

6-stage hazard studies have shown that they can improve process safety and enhance project management from concept through design and construction to operation they give better financial control, better time management and reduce last minute changes. The system allows critical issues to be identified and resolved early in the life of a project, reduces reliance on HAZOP at too late a stage in the design and provides a framework for incorporating health, safety and environmental issues.

This course will show you how hazard studies fit into a project programme and stress their benefits and potential pitfalls. It allows time for small group work so that you can understand the individual studies, and get a feel for how they work in practice and appreciate the preparation needed to make them go smoothly and efficiently.

KPIs are used throughout business to monitor performance against targets in areas such as production, finance or safety. But safety related KPIs can often be overly focused on reactive aspects such as lost time injuries (LTIs) which provide little insight into the potential for major accidents.

Developing effective safety performance indicators is not always straightforward. A balanced approach that considers leading as well as lagging indictors is the best way to manage major hazards, whilst avoiding the pitfall of creating an unwieldy system where counting becomes more important than action. This course examines the guidance created by the HSE and others to help create and implement a safety performance programme.

Learning outcomes

understand best practice in the field of process safety KPIs with a particular focus on the HSEs six-step approach.

be aware of and understand the key factors influencing the setting of KPIs at your organisation

understand how to identify and select targets and indicators

understand how to effectively monitor KPIs after they have been established

be confident about the process of implementing a safety performance programme at your organisation

Who will benefit

Managers, engineers, safety personnel and others who are involved in establishing and implementing a safety performance indicators programme within their own organisation.

Safety6-Stage Hazards


6-stage hazard studies have shown that they can improve process safety and enhance project management from concept through design and construction to operation they give better financial control, better time management and reduce last minute changes. The system allows critical issues to be identified and resolved early in the life of a project, reduces reliance on HAZOP at too late a stage in the design and provides a framework for incorporating health, safety and environmental issues.

This course will show you how hazard studies fit into a project programme and stress their benefits and potential pitfalls. It allows time for small group work so that you can understand the individual studies, and get a feel for how they work in practice and appreciate the preparation needed to make them go smoothly and efficiently.

LOPA is a semi-quantitative tool for analysing and assessing risk that looks at the safeguards on a process plant to see if the protection provided is adequate for known hazards.

This course covers the basic and more advanced methodology of LOPA and the detailed stages of its application. Participants are shown how significant scenarios are categorised and tolerable frequencies assigned for identified hazardous events. They are shown how to assign risk categories and hence determine the number of independent protection layers (IPLs) that should be in place. The specification and requirements for a protection layer to be accepted as an IPL are discussed. All the essential steps in this method are practised in workshops, including the use of software tools in LOPA.

Learning outcomes


the basic methodology of LOPA

how to decide if a process needs a safety instrumented system (SIS)

if yes, what safety integrity level (SIL) it needs

how to define an independent protection layer (IPL)

how to implement a process to manage these systems through the life cycle of an installation

KPIs are used throughout business to monitor performance against targets in areas such as production, finance or safety. But safety related KPIs can often be overly focused on reactive aspects such as lost time injuries (LTIs) which provide little insight into the potential for major accidents.

Developing effective safety performance indicators is not always straightforward. A balanced approach that considers leading as well as lagging indictors is the best way to manage major hazards, whilst avoiding the pitfall of creating an unwieldy system where counting becomes more important than action. This course examines the guidance created by the HSE and others to help create and implement a safety performance programme.

Learning outcomes

understand best practice in the field of process safety KPIs with a particular focus on the HSEs six-step approach.

be aware of and understand the key factors influencing the setting of KPIs at your organisation

understand how to identify and select targets and indicators

understand how to effectively monitor KPIs after they have been established

be confident about the process of implementing a safety performance programme at your organisation

Who will benefit

Managers, engineers, safety personnel and others who are involved in establishing and implementing a safety performance indicators programme within their own organisation.

Process Safety Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
