since our founding, chilworth technology has always considered part of its mission to share
its process safety expertise, knowledge of best practices, and industry experience through
quality training. currently the chilworth Process safety academy provides one of the most
comprehensive series of process safety courses in the world.
chilworth Process safety academy courses cover key aspects of process safety, including: Combustible Dust,
Electrostatics, Process Safety Management (PSM), Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), Safety Instrumented Systems
(SIS) and Safety Integrity Level (SIL), PSM, ATEX/DSEAR Compliance, Consequence Modeling, Chemical Reactivity,
Emergency Relief Systems and much more.
From multiple global offices located in North and South America, Europe and Asia, chilworth Process safety
academy courses are delivered through a variety of methods and formats including:
• Multiple languages (e.g., English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Hindi)
• Private, in-company training (at the client’s chosen location)
• Public, open-enrollment (scheduled courses in various locations globally)
• Multimedia (instructor-led webinars, e-learning and computer-based delivery)
The ultimate objective of a technical training course is to provide understanding through the effective transfer
of knowledge. Chilworth Global has designed its courses to achieve this objective through the use of multiple
media and delivery methods, including:
• Instructor-led content presentation (using PowerPoint slides)
• Open question-and-discussion forum
• Instructor-led demonstrations
• Trainee participation through case studies and role-playing exercises
• Quizzes
• Course Evaluation Feedback forms
• Certificates of completion
This design helps ensure a diverse, engaging and effective learning experience through the use of auditory, visual
and tactile based instruction.
To verify understanding of the subject material Chilworth Technology administers a short course quiz with review
at the end of each course, and a certificate is awarded to participants for each completed course.
We are also developing a diploma-based training curriculum for Process Safety Specialists comprised of three
modules:
1. Core process safety competencies (explosions, chemical reactions, thermal instability, static electricity, etc.)
2. Process Hazard Analysis (including HAZOP, What-if and other PHA methodologies) and PHA leadership
3. Advanced process safety (vent sizing, safety instrumented systems, etc.)

Course Design and Objectives
HAZOPs and What-Ifs are common process hazards analysis (PHA) methodsfor identifying hazardous scenarios and for determining whether existing safeguards are sufficient for a given scenario. While these methods are oftensufficient to evaluate relatively simple scenarios, they are less effective for complex scenarios. In these cases, the PHA team may have difficulty in judgingthe effectiveness of the safeguards, whether the hazard scenario meets company risk standards, and the effectiveness of recommendations in mitigatingexcessive risks. The Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) method has been developed to improve the evaluation of these complex scenarios. LOPA is asemi-quantitative technique to evaluate the risk of hazard scenarios and safeguard effectiveness. The LOPA method removes much of the subjectivityinherent in HAZOPs and What-Ifs, resulting in improved consistency and increased confidence in the analysis.
In this course you will learn how to conduct a LOPA review. You will learn whatconstitutes an initiating event, how to determine whether safeguards qualify asIndependent Protection Layers (IPLs), the effect of enabling events and conditionmodifiers on risk, and the effectiveness of recommendations in meeting riskstandards. This course includes theory and concepts behind LOPA as well asseveral exercises to practice the LOPA technique.
you will learn
• Understanding numerical risk ; How to develop LOPA scenarios from qualitative studies (i.e., HAZOP, What-If)
• Sources of failure rate data
• Effect of testing and demand rate on the reliability of safeguards
• What constitutes an Independent Protection Layer, IPL
• Fundamentals of Safety Systems
• How to evaluate safeguards
• How to integrate LOPA with HAZOP

Course Design and Objectives
This course teaches attendees how to systematically develop and implement an effective and successful process safety management (PSM) program that not only meets regulatory compliance requirements, but becomes part of a company’s safety culture and everyday operations.
This course examines the specific OSHA requirements of each of the 14 PSMelements. Case histories of accidents and OSHA compliance citations will be reviewed to identify weaknesses in existing PSM programs, and specific guidance will be given on building a compliant PSM program.
The course goes beyond PSM compliance, however, and examines the role andimportance of developing and maintaining an effective process safety culture inthe workplace, and the role of process safety metrics in maintaining an effectivePSM program. It will also introduce the concept of inherent safety.
The course includes several videos that illustrate the consequences of failure of PSM. Additionally, interactive exercises are included to promote class discussion. Each attendee will receive a notebook containing the presentationmaterials, including the presentation, and handouts of example forms and other information that can be immediately used by the attendees to develop their own PSM programs.

All items of chemical and processing plant are designed for a particular envelopeof operating conditions. In particular, mechanical design will have been conductedto certain pressure and temperature parameters. Exceeding those design parameters can lead to catastrophic mechanical failure and cause:
• loss of containment of toxic, flammable or corrosive materials, with potential secondary consequences resulting in injury or loss of life• environmental damage• asset loss, economic penalties and loss of public confidence
The course is designed to cover the major aspects of safety relief systems sizingfor single and multi-phase flow arising from loss of control of an exothermic chemical process or non-reactive physical process. The course concentrates onthe quantification and sizing of emergency vent systems for runaway reactionsusing experimental data derived from laboratory investigations.
