The Endless "Do-Loop" of LOPA: How LOPA Could Be Dragging You Down
While a handful of companies were individually evaluating risk using early versions of what later became known as Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA), the 2001 CCPS’ book “Layer of Protection Analysis” provided industry the first standardized method for conducting LOPAs. Over the 20 years since its publication, some habits have been developed by a number of practitioners that has created significant inefficiencies and unnecessary confusion while conducting risk assessments, not to mention a potential false sense of security in the results.
This webinar covers specific examples of LOPA overuse in industry, along with alternatives and remedies. Implementing these strategies will improve the efficiency, understanding, and effectiveness of future risk assessments, producing results that are both reliable and more useful.
