Download HAZOP & LOPA: Process Safety for Engineers – Masterclass 2026
HAZOP & LOPA: Process Safety for Engineers – Masterclass video course download, IEC 61511 , SIL Determination, IPL Credits, LOPA Calculations, Process Hazard Analysis for Oil & Gas and Chemical engineering.
The course continues into SIL verification and SIS design fundamentals — covering PFD calculation methods, architecture selection, proof testing requirements, and the Safety Requirements Specification — so engineers understand what their HAZOP and LOPA work feeds into, and what the SIS designer needs from them.
What you’ll learn
- Select HAZOP nodes from a P&ID, write clear design intent statements, and apply the full guide word and deviation matrix to any process system
- Identify credible causes and consequences for each HAZOP deviation and determine which safeguards qualify as Independent Protection Layers
- Complete a HAZOP worksheet to the standard required for regulatory submission, safety case documentation, and independent third-party review
- Apply CHAZOP guide words to control system logic, cause and effect charts, and DCS shutdown sequences to identify control system hazards
- Conduct LOPA using correct initiating event frequency data from CCPS, OREDA, and ISA TR84.00.02 sources for common process and utility failures
- Apply IPL credit values for BPCS loops, operator response, pressure safety valves, and independent trips — and test whether each safeguard qualifies as an IPL
- Calculate the unmitigated consequence frequency from a LOPA scenario and determine the required SIS PFD and SIL target from the risk gap
- Write a Safety Requirements Specification entry for a Safety Instrumented Function derived from LOPA output
- Select SIS architecture — 1oo1, 1oo2, 2oo2, 2oo3 — based on the SIL requirement and the spurious trip rate constraint
- Apply HAZOP and LOPA in upstream oil and gas, gas compression, chemical processing, and power generation scenarios through worked case studies
- Understand proof testing obligations, bypass management requirements, and Functional Safety Assessment scope under IEC 61511
- Contribute to, lead, and independently review HAZOP and LOPA studies to the standard expected by competent authorities and independent verifiers

Who this course is for:
- Process engineers on oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, LNG, or pipeline projects who need to contribute to or lead HAZOP studies as part of the engineering lifecycle
- Safety engineers and functional safety practitioners who conduct LOPA and SIL determination studies and need a structured, defensible methodology with correct IPL credit values
- Control and instrumentation engineers who participate in CHAZOP sessions and need to understand how SIL requirements are derived from the LOPA studies that define their SIS design
- Project managers and engineering leads on major hazard installations who need to plan, scope, and manage HAZOP and LOPA study programmes and understand what good outputs look like
- HSE professionals, safety case writers, and competent authority reviewers who review HAZOP and LOPA documentation and need to assess the quality and completeness of study outputs
- Engineers preparing for TUV Functional Safety Engineer (IEC 61511), TUV SIS Engineer, or CFSP examinations where HAZOP and LOPA methodology is directly tested
- Graduate engineers entering process, safety, or C&I roles who need a structured introduction to the process hazard analysis methods they will encounter on every major project
