PSM: Risk Assessment Using Bowties
The Chemical Center for Process Safety (CCPS) issues books that have become the de facto best practice for process safety management (PSM) globally. A new CCPS concept book prepared with the UK Energy Institute will be issued in 2017 to standardize the use of the Bowtie Method in risk management. The goal is to improve the consistency and quality of bowties and so reduce the risks in operating environments to avoid major accidents.
Our webinar presenter has been actively involved on the committee writing the new concept book, Guidelines for Barrier Risk Management (Bow Tie Analysis). This webinar will highlight the publication's key recommendations,
Terms of Reference:
- to include
definition
Bowties and Barriers:
- Must be "effective, independent and auditable"
- Are either active or passive
- If active, must have separate elements to detect what is going wrong, decide on what to do about it and to act to completely stop the threat from progressing further
- Are defined
as: - Degradation factors: barriers may fail or degrade for various reasons
- Degradation factor safeguards are in place to stop the barriers from failing
- Meta-data associated with barriers are standardized as barrier owner, efficiency, reliability and current status
All of the above is illustrated using a bowtie to prevent overfill of a gasoline storage tank (e.g. Buncefield)
