This post gives some brief details about technical safety studies used in process industries. Technical Safety and Process or functional Safety will describe the safety requirements related to the design and operation of hazardous processes. Technical Safety comprises a set of discrete elements that are applied in the field of risk analysis and management to help identify, understand and evaluateRead More…
What is Management of Hazards? This post will give some brief details about Hazards management in process or functional safety. Reducing risks to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) means reducing them to a level at which the cost and effort (time and trouble) of further risk reduction are grossly disproportionate to the risk reduction attained. The main part of ALARP finding is the rRead More…
The purpose of hazardous area classification is to ensure that ignition sources are generally not available to ignite potential flammable atmospheres. Refer below image for Hazardous Area Classification Drawing Hazardous areas extent, definition and
identification, which is based on the Area Classification Code for
Installations Handling Flammable Fluids, Institute of Petroleum Model CoRead More…
Introduction to Intrinsically Safe Systems What is intrinsically safe systems? Why it is used? What is design criteria? All these basic information about intrinsically safe systems is provided in this post. Intrinsic safety implies that there is insufficient electric energy in a circuit to ignite the most readily flammable mixture of a gas and air. As mentioned in relation to classification, theRead More…
What is Process Safety? Process safety or functional safety or technical safety is a key element for any engineering design or any projects with planning as well as during execution of design at field locations. This is very important base for any industries to consider process safety or technical safety requirements and safe design goals for any project. Health and safety, involves formingRead More…
