and the use of consequence modeling as part of PHA These subjects are not normally treated in detail in PHA team leader training OBJECTIVE: To learn about advanced subjects in Process Hazard Analysis that should be considered by experienced PHA team members, especially Team Leaders, when conducting PHA's DIRECTED TO: Those who have received formal PHA training; PHA Team Leaders and participants, PSM coordinators PREREQUISITE: Our PHA Principles and/or PHA for Team Leaders training course (or equivalent) A background in engineering would be helpful ABD00026404 COURSE CONTENTS: Overview of need for detailed PHA studies PHA on Controls Systems PHA for S-84 PHA on Plant Procedures PHA on Batch Processes How to use Consequence Modeling in PHA studies 7 DURATION: Twu il<iys, 1 5 CEUs awarded * out of\y ASSESSING RISKS TO PROCESS PLANTS FROM EXTERNAL THREATS (TERRORISM, SABOTAGE, VANDALISM AND THEFT) Over the past 10 years, OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM) Standard and EPA's Risk Management Program (RMP) Rule have resulted in improvements in managing releases of highly hazardous chemicals In complying with these standards, companies have focused mostly on accidental releases However, these regulations do not specifically exclude releases from deliberate acts These acts can include external threats of terrorism, sabotage, vandalism and theft Indeed, m a Fact Sheet on Site Security, referencing the PSM standard, EPA states "External threats must be considered when conducting a process hazard analysis" Unless properly managed, it is entirely possible that risk from deliberate acts could dominate that from accidental releases This course deals with managing the risk from deliberate acts A government study in 1999 found that security at chemical plants needed significant improvement Most security gaps were the result of complacency and lack of awareness of the threat Moreover, few state and local chemical emergency response plans currently address chemical terrorism This new training course identifies and helps attendees understand the various external threats to process facilities and provides guidance in assessing the threat level to a specific facility using threat analysis Instruction is provided in assessing the vulnerability of a process using vulnerability analysis and guidance is given on protecting against external threats Threat analysis helps you determine what could happen It involves the identification of the source and type of threats and the assessment of the likelihood of threats These likelihoods are used to assign threat levels that can be used to determine the extent of vulnerability analysis that needs to be performed and the levels of safeguards and security that are needed Vulnerability analysis involves the assessment of the degree to which a facility is exposed to injury, damage or other hostile action It includes identifying ways in which attacks could happen It assesses the process design, security, safeguards, and computer systems Security measures and safeguards deal with what can be done to protect against external threats It covers prevention, inherent safety, process design, site security, controls, engineered safeguards, mitigation, emergency response and buffer zones The course also addresses inspection and auditing to assess the current state of protection against external threats, and protection and security on a continuing basis OBJECTIVE: To identify and develop an understanding of external threats (including types of terrorism, sabotage, vandalism and theft) to process facilities and provide guidance in performing a threat and vulnerability analysis, as well as inspections and auditing of plant's current vulnerability level DIRECTED TO: This course is intended for process safety and security personnel, and others who may be responsible for assessing and managing the risk of external threats to process facilities Plant or company managers looking to gam more understanding of external threats and methods use to assess vulnerabilities of their facilities would also benefit from taking this course ABD00026405 PREREQUISITE: This course is open only to those individuals who are employees of process companies operating in the United States or who work for US Government agencies A general background in process safety, risk management and/or security at manufacturing facilities is beneficial.
