Basics of Functional Safety Part 2 – HAZOP & LOPA Study Pitfalls
This is Part 2 of the SaRS Technical Learning webinar series on the Basics of Functional Safety. The series gives an overview on the various aspects of Functional Safety and compliance with international standards and responds directly to topics requested from the previous webinar feedback forms. The series is presented by experts from Engineering Safety Consultants (ESC) Ltd.
In Part 2 there will be a description of the learning that has been gained from leading both Hazard & Operability (HAZOP) studies and Layers Of Protection Analysis (LOPA) studies covering:
- Good practice observed within studies, and
- The pitfalls to avoid
Part 2 will be presented by Dr Esteban Bernechea. Esteban has worked in the fields of Process Engineering, Process Safety and Functional Safety for the last 10 years. He has a Chemical Engineering background and started his career as a process engineer in the design of oil and gas projects; he later continued his education with a master’s degree in Process Engineering and a Doctorate Program focused on the application of QRA and Inherently Safer Design as tools for process optimization, at which point he changed his focus to the fields of Process Safety and Risk Analysis.
He has extensive experience chairing Process Hazard Analysis (HAZOP, HAZID) and delivering functional safety (SIL determination and verification) consultancy for multinational clients in the oil and gas, chemical and health industries. He has delivered presentations in venues like the Global Congress on Process Safety or the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center International Symposium
