Consequence Modelling Techniques

Topic Process safety - Hazard identification and risk analysis

On-demand

Overview

This course will help you to understand a range of consequence modelling techniques, including their advantages and limitations. You’ll learn how to define the possible outcomes of hazardous material release and the impact of hazards on people, environment and property.

It will also show you how to define source terms and help you understand different approaches and regulatory requirements for consequence modelling.

This is an on-demand, online course designed for independent learning at your own pace. 

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, you will understand:

  • what consequence modelling is and how to approach defining the model requirements
  • the accident pathway
  • the harm criteria and how to choose appropriate levels to model
  • how course terms are generated
  • the modelling concepts for vapour cloud explosions, flammable and toxic dispersions, and fire modelling
  • how to use the results to support decision-making
  • the common pitfalls in the use of consequence modelling and how to prevent them.

Who will benefit

  • Project and plant managers
  • Safety managers on COMAH sites responsible for preparing safety reports and interpreting modelling results
  • Professionals using consequence models and/or their results who want further guidance on the bases, validity and uses of modelling
  • Those new to the field of process safety who need to understand the potential scale of accidents and the consequences
