Conduct Layers of Protection Analysis and Evaluate Process Risk

LOPAWorks® allows users to conduct Layers Of Protection Analysis (LOPA) for hazard scenarios. The software calculates scenario risks and compares them with risk tolerance criteria to determine what, if any, risk reduction is needed. Scenarios may be associated with hazardous events to facilitate compliance with the IEC 61511 / ISA 84 standards for Safety Instrumented Systems (SISs). Dominant contributors to scenario risk may be identified easily using the software. Analyses are performed for individual hazard scenarios. However, risk criteria may be used that require scenario risks to be aggregated. The software provides various types of summations for risk aggregation, for example, by consequence type, hazard type, hazardous event, and process mode.

PHAWorks® is a specialized tool for conducting Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) studies, such as HAZOP and What If studies. The software is designed to allow you to start conducting studies straight out of the box, leading you through each step of data entry. Within minutes, you can start documenting your PHA studies more quickly and efficiently while keeping the team focused on the task at hand. PHAWorks® will not get in the way of conducting the study. It is a tool designed to help, not hinder, the performance of the study. PHA studies, such as HAZOP, What If, and FMEA, have become easier, quicker and more cost effective with PHAWorks®. With the time and cost savings it provides, PHAWorks® is a tool that is essential to your company. No PHA software is used or trusted more throughout the world than PHAWorks®. Many thousands of studies have been completed using PHAWorks®.

The PHAWorks Viewer allows you to view, but not edit or print, any PHAWorks or old DOS-Based (e.g., HAZOP-PC, WHAT IF-PC) project. You can review projects and use features that don’t alter or print any of the project information. With PHAWorks Viewer, anyone can review project data, but not change it. This PHAWorks Viewer is free and can be distributed without any limitations.

For years companies have attempted to track and manage recommendations (e.g., action items) using programs not designed for tracking. As a result, action items were either overlooked, not implemented, or forgotten. The action items generated were not being completed. Tracker was specifically designed to facilitate easy electronic tracking. No longer do you have to use paper and pencil, multiple programs or “guesswork” for managing action items. Tracker is a fully integrated and automated application for tracking action items from conception to completion. It includes full email capability along with scheduled automated tasks such as reporting, sending emails, reminders, and archiving.
