Building a QRA using Safeti Course code: SA-14 Duration: typically 5 days Prerequisite: The course is suitable for users familiar with the software and who have either attended SA-02 or have some experience using the software.

Description Please note: this is a custom course tailored to specific customer needs. Please contact your Regional Sales Manager for more information, as the cost will depend on the level of customisation required.

For those without QRA experience, it can be daunting to take the concepts covered in other modules (such as SA-07, Safeti QRA) and building a QRA from scratch for a processing unit (or even an entire plant) using Safeti. In this customised course we can work with you on a typical facility, or part of a facility, explaining how you would begin to build a QRA in Safeti. We can take you through the entire QRA process, typically for a small idealised unit of your facility, helping you scope the QRA and providing advice on how to collect the necessary data, break the unit into a number of failure cases, and build a QRA model in Safeti. Based on the simple QRA model developed, we can then take you through the analysis of results including assessment against acceptance criteria and measures for mitigating risks.

Learning objectives Upon completion of this course, you will have been through the entire process of developing a simple Safeti QRA model with direct relevance to their specific needs by working directly with a DNV Software expert. You will learn how to identify hazards, divide these into logical isolatable sections, develop representative failure cases based on them, and gain a better understanding of how and where to acquire all the background data necessary to build a QRA in Safeti.
