| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 5 types of shut downs | ESD emergency shut down staged start up/shutdown unplanned shutdown planned startup/shutdown delayed shutdown |
| purpose and design of effective alarms | Alert- to attract operator attention Inform- to tell operator what problem is Guide- direct operator the initial corrective actions. |
| alarms are ranked by | Emergency, high, low. operators know which to address as priority |
| HASAWA 1974 states what about alarms | That there is a general duty to ensure safety |
| COMAH regulations 2015 state | specific duties for sites with major accident hazards |
| industry best practice: EEMUA 191 | provide detailed, practical guidance needed to meet legal obligations and achieve effective alarm management. |
| HASAW 1974 | occy health and safety- health, safety and welfare of all employees, includes providing and maintaining safe plant and systems of work |
| COMAH 2015 | sites with large quantities of dangerous substances, COMAH mandates rigorous and demonstrable checks of safety critical systems like control and emergency shutdowns |
| IEC 61511 | standard for design and management of safety instrumented systems SIS. provides rigorous lifecycle framework for ensuring critical last line of defence systems work |
| what is a SCE Safety Critical Element | any component, system or procedure whose failure could directly lead to major accident-i.e emergency shutdown systems, pressure valves, fire and gas detection, control room alarms |
| what is a PS Performance standard | a PS is a formal document that defines measurable criteria for a SCE. standard specify precise function, availability, reliability, survivability and inspection. |
| Process Hazard Analysis PHA | PHA is a systematic, rigorous method for ID and evaluating potential hazards associated with industry process- HAZOPS used to ensure SCE in place. COMAH requirement. |
| FARSI- frequency, availability, reliability, survivability, inspection | a comprehensive framework used to define and assess performance standards for SCE |
| FARSI- Frequency | how often the SCE mist be tested or inspected. |
| FARSI -Availability | the probability that the SCE is operational when demanded e.g 99.9% uptime |
| FARSI reliability | the ability of the SCE to perform correctly without failure e.g minimal rate of false alarms |
| FARSI survivability | the ability of the SCE to function during and after emergency conditions e.g fire resistant cabling or components |
| FARSI inspectability |
