FAQ- LOPA STUDY
Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) is a structured methodology used in chemical industries to evaluate and quantify the risks associated with process hazards. It determines the effectiveness of existing protective layers against potential accidents and identifies safety gaps. LOPA simplifies risk assessment by using order of magnitude estimates for event frequency, consequence severity, and failure likelihood of independent protection layers (IPLs). Building on qualitative hazard evaluations like Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), LOPA identifies and quantifies mitigation measures, ensuring that protective layers are independent and effective.
METHODOLOGY FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
The plan identifies departments and individuals that are directly responsible for emergency response and critical support services, and it provides a management structure for coordinating and deploying resources.
