Layer of Protection Analysis-LOPA

This document discusses chemical process safety and risk analysis techniques. It covers probability theory, event tree analysis, fault tree analysis, societal and individual risk, quantitative risk assessment (QRA), bow-tie diagrams, and layer of protection analysis (LOPA). LOPA is described as a technique used to evaluate risk reduction systems for chemical processes. It involves identifying initiating events, calculating their frequencies, determining probability of failure on demand for protective layers, and estimating overall risk reduction.
