Ce que vous apprendrez
- Explain the difference between personal safety and process safety, and why a low injury rate does not prove containment risk is controlled
- Describe what a loss of primary containment (LOPC) is and why every leak, sheen or hiss must be reported, no matter how small
- Identify common LOPC causes, including corrosion and erosion, flange and small-bore fitting failures, hoses, overfilling, wrong line-ups and maintenance reinstatement errors
- Apply barrier thinking (the Swiss cheese model) to recognise how weakened prevention and mitigation barriers line up to cause a release
- Apply safe reinstatement practice: joint integrity, controlled bolt-up and leak testing at pressure before handback
- Explain the tiered LOPC classification concept and how leading indicators track the health of containment barriers
