Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA) is a risk assessment method that is used to evaluate the likelihood and severity of hazardous events. It is a semi-quantitative method, meaning that it uses both qualitative and quantitative factors to assess risk. LOPA is a popular risk assessment method in the process industries, such as the chemical, oil and gas, and power generation … [Read more...]
Bow Tie Analysis
Bow tie analysis is a risk assessment technique that uses a graphical representation to identify and assess the risks associated with a particular activity or process. Origin of Bowtie Analysis The origin of Bowtie analysis is unclear, but it is believed to have originated in the 1970s. The first known use of the bowtie diagram was in a lecture on hazard analysis given … [Read more...]
Behaviour Based Safety (BBS)
Behaviour based safety (BBS) is a proactive approach to improving safety in the workplace. It focuses on identifying and correcting unsafe behaviours before they lead to accidents or injuries. What is behaviour? Behaviour is the way that an individual acts. It is the sum total of all the actions and reactions that an individual or organism makes in response to its … [Read more...]
Chemical Engineering Simulation Softwares
Simulation software is a computer program that allows users to create a virtual model of a real-world system or process. This model can be used to study the behavior of the system or process under different conditions, without having to actually build or operate the system or process in the real world. There are many simulation softwares available for chemical engineering. Some … [Read more...]
