Risk barriers are safety measures or controls that provide an effective means against known risks to prevent unwanted events from taking place as well as to protect against their consequences.Continue Reading

Front line barrier management refers to personnel who are critical in ensuring all safety-critical task/activity is carried out to maintain the effectiveness of all barriers identified for a facility.Continue Reading

Barrier based risk management is about identifying the critical controls (barriers) and understanding the status and effectiveness of the barriers to managing the risk.Continue Reading

Bowtie is a tool of risk assessment that demonstrates/visualise the relation between the causes, hazard, top event, consequences also safeguard and controls that can be considered as preventive (barrier) / mitigating measures.Continue Reading

A bowtie diagram is a pictorial representation of the relationship between potential threats, preventive/ mitigative barriers in place and the ultimate consequences associated with each major accident hazard.Continue Reading

A formal document to capture and record all the hazards, their causes, consequences safeguards, risk ranking and any related findings discussed in the HAZID workshop. This also includes the methodology to conduct the study and its nodes and information reviewed in the workshop.Continue Reading

The HAZID Study is a qualitative study that aims to identify all Major Accident Hazards (MAH) associated with the facilities.Continue Reading

To determine the adverse effects of exposure to hazards and plan necessary actions to mitigate such risks.Continue Reading

The HAZID Study aims to identify all Major Accident Hazards (MAH) associated with the facilities and pinpoint suitable mitigative measures to control risks to people, the environment and assets based on the process and layout. HAZID normally involves the following steps: 1. Risk Identification: identify hazards and the cause and consequences scenario 2. Risk Analysis...Continue Reading

HAZID aims to identify all Major Accident Hazards (MAH) associated with the facilities and pinpoint suitable mitigative measures to control risks to people, the environment and assets based on the process and layout. HAZOP is undertaken using a systematic and highly structured approach to examine the process and engineering intentions of the design.Continue Reading
