Hazards and Risk

„ If you don’t know what represents a


hazard:
You cannot determine the risks involved
„ But what is risk?
A combination of the probability of an
occurrence of harm and the severity of that
harm.

© C & C Technical Support Services 2008 56 IEC 61508/61511 Training


Risk
Risk = harm x probability
„ Individual risk – risks per year of the most exposed
individual (Normally a maximum
value that can be tolerated for all
hazards).

„ Societal risk – the total risk per year of all


exposed individuals (Risks normally
reduced until the risk reduction is
disproportionate to the cost of risk
reduction).
„ Asset Loss
„ Environmental

© C & C Technical Support Services 2008 57 IEC 61508/61511 Training


Risk
„ There are different levels of risk:
Low or negligible
„ e.g. being struck by lightning
Approx. the same chance as winning the lottery!
So high to be unacceptable
„ e.g. Exposure to high levels of radiation
Tolerable or acceptable risk
„ Lies between negligible and unacceptably high
„ e.g. driving a car
The benefits outweigh the negatives

Risk

„ The risks we encounter in our place of


work must also be acceptable
„ so the:
process design;
protective systems;
procedures;
should all be appropriate to reduce the
risks to an acceptable level.

© C & C Technical Support Services 2008 60 IEC 61508/61511 Training


Tolerability of risk and ALARP:
HSE (1992)
Intolerable
region 1 in 1000 per person/yr (Workers)
1 in 10,000 per person/yr (Public)

Consequences of Failure

„ If a SIF fails:
There will be certain consequences which
could result in:
„ Harm
„ Damage to equipment and/or loss of production

„ Damage to the environment

© C & C Technical Support Services 2008 81 IEC 61508/61511 Training


The Criticality of a SIF
Risk = Consequence x Probability

Personnel safety (harm)


Financial Loss
Environmental

SIF’s predominantly reduce the probability of an event:

Premaining = Pdemand x PSIF failure on demand


Criticality of an SIF is expressed in SIL classes: 1 to 4

© C & C Technical Support Services 2008 82 IEC 61508/61511 Training


The relationship between:
Safety Integrity Level & Probability of
Failure on Demand

Safety Integrity Level Probability of Failure


(SIL) on Demand (PFD)
4 <10-4 – >10-5
3 <10-3 – >10-4
2 <10-2 – >10-3
1 <10-1 – >10-2
N.B. The Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD) is dimensionless.
It is based on a relationship between the Failure Rate and the Test Interval
which we will develop later.

© C & C Technical Support Services 2008 83 IEC 61508/61511 Training


Risk Reduction Factor (RRF)

„ The integrity of a SIF is sometimes


expressed as the Risk Reduction Factor
(RRF).
„ There is a simple relationship between
RRF and the PFD:
RRF = 1/PFD
e.g. if PFD = 0.1
Then RRF = 10

© C & C Technical Support Services 2008 84 IEC 61508/61511 Training


Failures
SIFs can fail in two ways:
„ Dangerous failure (hidden, covert or un-revealed)
Loss of protective function
Failure rate can be reduced by hardware fault tolerance
(e.g. 1oo2 or 1oo3 to trip)
Diagnostics can also be used and will be discussed later.
„ Safe failure (revealed, evident – mostly economic)
Spurious trip or alarm
No loss of protection
Failure rate can be reduced by “revealed failure
robustness” (e.g. 2oo2 or 2oo3 to trip)
© C & C Technical Support Services 2008 85 IEC 61508/61511 Training
Integrity Specification of a SIF
„ We need to assess the criticality of a SIF
to ensure the design is appropriate for the
task it performs
„ Where the criticality is dependent on the
contribution the SIF makes to risk
reduction

qualitative methods

LOPA Example

HAZOP has determined that there is a risk to of


overfilling a tank containing volatile liquid from two
causes:
Pump failure: 2.0 per year
Level control failure: 0.1 per year
Determine the risk to personnel and the
requirements for any additional risk reduction
measures if the Tolerable risk is to be 1.0E-06 for
this hazard.

LOPA Process Example: Event 1
„ Row 1 = The impact event identified from HAZOP
„ Row 2 = The severity:
M = Minor; S = Serious; E = Extensive.
„ Row 3 = The initiating causes (each cause has its own
row)
„ Row 4 = Likelihood of the cause per year
„ Row 5 = Independent Protection Layers (IPL) such as:
General process design (e.g. explosion proof electrical)
Basic Process Control System (credit for PFDavg)
Alarms (must be independent of the control loop)
An IPL has to be:
„ specific for the prevention or mitigation of the
consequences;
„ independent of other protection layers;
„ dependable in doing what it was designed to do;
„ auditable with regular validation, maintenance and testing.

LOPA Process Example: Event 1
„ Row 6 = Additional mitigation layers
Note:
Additional mitigation (normally mechanical, structural or
procedural) such as:
„ pressure relief devices;
„ dikes, bunds;
„ restricted access
Additional mitigation that reduces the severity but will not
prevent it such as:
„ deluge by fire and gas systems
„ gas and fume alarms
„ evacuation procedures
„ PFDs for all mitigation layers should be listed in Row 6
© C & C Technical Support Services 2008 129 IEC 61508/61511 Training
LOPA Process Example: Event 1
„ Row 7 = Independent Protection Layer
must satisfy all the IPL criteria such as;
a relief valve;
an existing SIF designed to SIL1 through SIL 3.

„ Row 8 = Intermediate Event Likelihood


Calculated by multiplying the Initiated Likelihood (Row
4) by the PFDs of the protection and mitigation layers
(Rows 5,6,& 7), 5.0E-04 for this example..

LOPA Process Example
„ Row 9 = Total Intermediate Event Likelihood:
Sum of all Intermediate Event Frequencies
i.e. sum of all Row 8 values (7.5E-04 in this example)
„ Row 10 = Tolerable Event Frequency for the
selected Severity (S):
This is based on the casualty severity for the event
E.g. 1.0E-07 for this example
„ Row 11 = Value in Row 10 / Value in Row 9
Tolerable Event Frequency / Sum of Intermediate
Event Frequencies (1.33E-03 in this example)

Layers of Protection Analysis
„ Vulnerability to the event e.g.:
size of a release, Volatility/toxicity etc.
„ It may be possible to take additional risk
reduction into account
„ The LOPA analysis is then repeated with respect
to:
Society
Asset
Environment
„ Taking credit for specific risk reduction/mitigation

Benefits- UK HSE Position:
HSE Management Board, Feb 2000

“.. IEC61508 will be used as a reference standard for


determining whether a reasonable practical level of safety
has been achieved when E/E/PE systems are used to carry
out safety functions.
The extent to which [HSE] Directorates / Divisions use
IEC61508 will depend on individual circumstances;
whether any sector standards based on IEC61508 have
been developed and whether there exists specific industry
standards or guidelines…” i.e. IEC 61511
