Tuesday 7 November, 15:00–17:00

Safety professionals and operations personnel in the chemical and process industries often need to manage human factors on their sites. The options for getting enough knowledge to be an “intelligent customer” have, in the past been limited. There were courses in specific human factors topics (not broad enough) or higher degree courses in the subject (too broad). To fill the gap, IChemE and The Keil Centre joined forces to create a professional development programme covering all of the key human factors topics that apply in the chemical and process industries.

This is a very interactive programme which gives delegates practical experience of using the tools and methods that will help them to understand the human factors issues facing them on their site.  More importantly it will help them work out what to do about these issues. The programme is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human factors (CIEHF), so it forms a valuable stepping stone to membership of this professional body.

This workshop offers delegates a taster session of the programme. It includes an interactive exercises to allow delegates to do a high-level gap analysis to identify the human factors priorities for their sites, so there will be some practical take-aways from the workshop. 

Delegates will also get an overview of what is included in the professional development programme itself.

The workshop is free to attend as part of your Hazards 33 attendance. Spaces are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

An Evolved Approach to Process Safety Management - Combining the Power of PHA, Bowties and Cumulative Risk
Wednesday 8 November, 10:30–12:30​

Say goodbye to traditional risk assessment methods and say hello to a dynamic, flexible, and effective way to manage risk. Combine the power of process hazard analysis (PHA) with bowtie analysis and cumulative risk visualization to provide a comprehensive view of potential risks and hazards. With this approach, you'll be able to identify potential hazards and their consequences, visualize the links between hazards, threats, and controls, and assess cumulative risk. Don't settle for outdated risk management techniques – learn how to upgrade to this innovative approach today and enjoy safer, more efficient industrial processes!

The process safety management of industrial facilities involves the identification, evaluation, and control of potential risks and hazards that could lead to accidents or incidents. Traditionally, this has been done through process hazard analysis (PHA) techniques, which involve identifying potential hazards and their consequences, and developing controls to mitigate these risks.

Tomorrow’s process safety management approach combines PHA, bowtie analysis, and cumulative risk visualization. Through a common integration of these techniques, it is possible to recontextualize the way risks are assessed and managed, providing a more comprehensive and dynamic view of the risks associated with a process.

This approach uses PHA to identify potential hazards and their consequences and share them with bowties to represent the links between hazards, threats, and controls. These bowties are then used to identify areas of cumulative risk, which are visualized.

By this incredible combination of these techniques, our singular, approach enables a quick, highly efficient, and holistic view of the risks associated with a process and provides a vastly more dynamic and flexible approach to risk management. We believe this approach to drastically improve process safety management practices and noticeably reduce the risk of accidents and incidents in industrial facilities. Experience it yourself and learn more during our workshop and of course with your visit at our booth.

Workshop details:

• Introduction to PHA, bowties and cumulative risk. Experience their combined power.
• Experience this new approach in our Vision Platform
• Try yourself by participating in the bowtie building game

Overwhelmed by safety critical task identification?
Wednesday 8 November, 13:00–15:00

The identification of safety critical tasks (SCTs) on upper tier COMAH assets can be daunting and time-consuming step in the human factors road-map. Operators are required to identify tasks that require human interactions and if performed incorrectly, could initiate a major accident or prevent a protection or mitigation system performing correctly, when required. Tasks associated with operating activities are relatively easy to identify, however human error can occur across all levels and functions within an organisation.

This interactive workshop explores the application of different structured methodologies which can be deployed to effectively identify and prioritise safety critical tasks.

Wednesday 8 November, 15:30–17:30

The traditional HAZOP is a structured process that, when done well, produces a robust and thorough analysis of failure scenarios and identifies safeguards to manage the risk. Where a HAZOP is repeated, the finding of significant issues is likely to decrease after two or three cycles.

Delta HAZOP is a different approach that focuses on understanding the creeping changes to a process that have occurred. It ensures that the risks associated with the changes have been understood and addressed. Delta HAZOP is not a HAZOP as defined within the IEC standard. It is a technique to re-validate process hazards analysis.

This workshop will help you better understand when it may be appropriate to use the Delta HAZOP technique and how to prepare, undertake and document a Delta HAZOP.
