Quantitative Risk Assessment

HSE018

Course Description

While many risk management decisions can reasonably be based on HAZOP’s, What-If studies and other qualitative risk assessments, some decisions may be so expensive as to warrant a closer review. Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) provides that additional level of scrutiny.  Compared to qualitative studies, QRA’s result in improved consistency and reduced subjectivity in providing a rational decision making process for managing process safety.  

This course examines the relationship of consequences and their frequencies in understanding and assessing risk.  This is presented in both a philosophical and numerical perspective. Techniques to numerically evaluate risks are then presented.  The techniques that will be presented are: Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Chemical Process Quantitative Risk Analysis (CPQRA).

Course Goal

To enhance the participants’ knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to understand and apply the quantitative risk analysis techniques.

Course Objectives

  • Understand the Role of QRA in managing risk.
  • Understand risk standards.

  • Overview and apply of LOPA.
  • Overview and apply of FTA.
  • Overview and apply of CPQRA.

Who Can Benefit

Managers, engineers and others with responsibility for evaluating hazards and/or for making decisions to manage these hazards.
