Description
This course provides extensive guidance on how to use Phast Risk within the context of a Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA). All the key aspects of the QRA process using Phast Risk are covered in the course. Some of the topics included are:

• Hazard Identification
• Scoping QRA
• Data collection
• Failure case development
• Frequency estimation and analysis
• Building QRA model in PhastRisk
• Mitigation and reporting
• Cost-benefit analyses

In contrast to the standard Phast Risk training that comprehensively covers software functionality and theory, this course adopts a more practical approach to using Phast Risk to perform a QRA. During the course, participants will be required to practise and apply their new knowledge of the software through extensive hands-on workshops. The course is structured around building a basic simplified QRA model using Phast Risk

Learning objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants will understand and be able to use the theoretical and practical aspects of Phast Risk to build a QRA model of a hazardous facility. Participants will learn how to identify hazards, divide these into logical isolatable sections, develop representative failure cases based on these using the “methodical leak/rupture” approach and acquire all the background data necessary to build a QRA in Phast Risk.

Target group:
People who need to carry out QRA in the process industries using Phast and Phast Risk. Participants are likely to be from regulatory authorities, insurance industry, engineering contractors and consultants.

Prerequisite This course is suitable for users who are already familiar with the software and have either attended the SA-02 Phast Risk introduction training or are experienced users of the software. For those who have already attended SA-02 Phast Risk introduction training or are experienced users, the course can be delivered over 3 days. For less experienced participants who need to be simultaneously trained in the software, the course can be delivered over 5 days. A good understanding of the concepts of QRA, consequence, dispersion and effects modelling is required, as is some experience of using this technology in the process industry.
