Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Introduction to the module Introduction to QRA Identify Release Scenarios and Hazards Frequency Assessment Event Trees Consequence Modelling I – Immediate Fatalities Consequence Modelling II – Time Dependent Effects Risk Analysis Non-Process Hazards Risk Criteria Sensitivity Studies Software for QRA Conclusions and Close Out
Additional Information:The purpose of this module is to enable students to understand and apply QRA techniques with particular relevance to the oil & gas and process industries. Students will be given an opportunity to conduct QRA for example oil & gas / process facilities. The module also covers risk criteria, application of the ALARP principle, sensitivity analysis and cost benefit analysis. Assessment is in the form of an essay combined with activities (e.g. exercises, discussions, etc.). The module is delivered via distance learning, described as follows: Lecture (using slides and slide notes): Online self-study Tutorial/Activities (Exercises and reviews): Online activities with teacher feedback, and virtual classrooms Tutor-supported Online: Tutor feedback for activities, virtual classrooms and email support
