LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis) is a semi-quantitative risk assessment tool used in process plants to evaluate whether existing or proposed protection layers adequately control known hazards. It builds on earlier hazard studies, such as PHAs, and supports compliance with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511.
This course introduces the LOPA methodology and guides participants through identifying key risk scenarios and estimating event frequencies for credible worst-case outcomes.
