| 9 Oct 2012 | Quantified Risk Assessment (QRA) in Practice (Day 1 of 2)
Birmingham, UK
To successfully manage major process hazards, assessment of the risks arising from the hazards is required. In
some cases it is sufficient to carry out qualitative risk assessments using simple techniques such as risk matrices.
However, when the risk is judged to be high, the consequences are severe, the system is complex or there is a
regulatory requirement, it may be necessary to evaluate the risk numerically using Quantified Risk Assessment.
The uses for QRA are as follows:
• To evaluate whether the risk is acceptable & identify measures for cost-effective risk reduction if required
• To compare the relative risks of different options e.g. transport of materials by pipeline vs. road transport
• To allow companies to meet their regulatory obligations for risk assessment, such as those required by the
Seveso II Directive (COMAH Regulations 1999 in the UK).

Dublin, Ireland
An introduction to IEC 61508/11 Safety Integrity Level (SIL) principles for establishing the performance, specification and
reliability of Safety Instrumented Systems. This course is suitable for anyone who would benefit from a broad
understanding of this important safety related area. The introduction will cover the background of IEC61508/11 SIL
development and its management requirements. The presentation will go on to explain SIL determination techniques
such as Risk Graph & Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA), which are common methods within the process industries.
Workshops will reinforce the learning of these techniques.
The course will then move onto the initial implementation phase of Safety Instrumented System (SIS) design, including
system architecture, failure modes, fault tolerance, human reliability, etc., in order to achieve both performance and
integrity. Familiarisation with the requirements of operational proof testing and maintenance of SIS, and their impact to
overall functional safety will also be addressed. The importance of management, competency, planning and conformity
assessment will be highlighted. Based on the information presented and following completion of the course, delegates
should be able to participate in, and contribute towards, future SIL assessments within their own workplace, appreciate
the elements of safety system design, and the importance of operations and maintenance management to overall
safety. Extensive opportunities to discuss the various issues raised with the lecturers will be provided.

| 27 Sep 2012 | Major Fire Risk Assessment in Manufacturing Environments
London, UK
Each year a number of fires occur within process industries and these fires can result in serious injury, major asset loss
and business interruption. For facilities that are classified as COMAH / Seveso II sites it is necessary to undertake
specific studies such as predictive modelling of the impact of major process fires both on and offsite and consideration of
the potential for domino effects e.g. a fire triggering a runaway reaction or explosion. Other studies such as Occupied
Building Risk Assessment (OBRA) require the effects of major process fires on people in buildings to be fully evaluated.
Undertaking an adequate fire hazard and risk assessment and implementing measures to prevent and mitigate against
the effects of a fire can significantly reduce the potential for injury and business loss

Cork, Ireland
Since the ATEX Directives and DSEAR became a legal requirement in the EU in 2003, Chilworth have completed many
fire and explosion risk assessments for a range of industrial sectors. One common issue is the lack of understanding (and
available guidance) on what constitutes a ‘suitable and sufficient’ documentation package to demonstrate compliance.
Documents are also frequently treated as ‘one offs’ rather than ‘living documents’ requiring regular review, update and
re-training of staff of the updated content. Aimed at those with responsibility or involvement in implementing ATEX /
DSEAR on their site, the course will provide an overview of Explosion Protection Documents (EPDs) describing their
legislative background, their implementation, correct format, acceptable content and using them as living documents.
The course provides an overview of the detailed risk assessments required by EPD / DSEAR documents.

Developing safe processes is of paramount importance to any chemical company. Exothermic chemical reactions in batch
and semi-batch processes can result in serious injuries and damage to plant when allowed to run out of control and include
violent loss of containment, explosions and release of toxic materials into the environment.
Using the expertise of Chilworth & Scientific Update’s chemists and chemical engineers, this seminar will stress the need
to design safety into new chemical processes from early development through to full-scale production. Where hazards
cannot be eliminated by appropriate selection of reagent or synthetic route, techniques exist to quantify the hazards so
robust engineering solutions can be applied in production.

Manchester, UK
Agrochemical products include materials such as pesticides, insecticides, fertilisers and other types of growth promoters and growing media. These can be powdered or liquid based raw materials and products. Manufacture of active ingredients often involves the use of batch chemical reactions, flammable solvents and combustible powders. Formulation of finished products can involved the handling of combustible powders and flammable liquids. Some powders handled such as sulphur are very easy to ignite by weak electrostatic sparks. Others can evolve highly flammable vapours such as carbon disulphide under certain conditions. This sector therefore has some unique problems which Chilworth has uncovered through extensive audits of manufacturing sites. This training course focuses specifically on the process safety issues within the Agrochemicals sector. The course will mention, but not consider in detail the hazards with batch chemical reactions. Delegates interested in this subject should consider attending one of our courses specific to this complex area.
A key benefit of sector specific courses is the chance to network with delegates from the same industry and share common problems and solutions.

Southampton, UK
Exothermic chemical reactions in batch and semi-batch processes can result in serious injury, cause major production problems and business loss. The recent incident at T2 laboratories in Florida in which 4 people died, was caused by a runaway chemical reaction. One contributing cause was a lack of awareness of reactive chemical hazards in process design and operation. Chemical reaction hazards are caused by factors readily identified and assessed, but to carry out assessments properly requires chemists, engineers and production staff to be suitably trained. It is particularly important for development chemists to be aware of potential hazards to maximise inherent safety during route selection. This course is designed to equip staff with the necessary tools to be able to identify chemical reaction hazards, interpret test data correctly and develop a robust basis of safety.

| 23 Jun 2011 | Predicting Reaction Hazards
Birmingham, UK
Equipping chemists with tools for rapid identification of thermo-chemical risks to help them develop inherently safer processes for scale-up. Understanding and predicting exothermic reaction and thermal instability risks in process development is crucial in having our chemists develop safer processes. When chemists don't have the necessary background knowledge - or tools - engineers are often faced with the challenge of scaling up potentially hazardous processes. This can require expensive and complicated safety systems which can add considerably to the scale-up cost. Where a process is developed with intrinsic hazards, it also increases the possibility of having an incident. This course will equip delegates with new skills and methods that they can immediately utilise in their daily jobs to develop safer processes. Several workshops are included throughout the day to check learning and exemplify the procedures and tools.

| 24 May 2011 | Explosion Protection Documentation (EPD & DSEAR)
Heathrow, UK
Since the ATEX Directives and DSEAR became a legal requirement in the EU in 2003, Chilworth have completed many fire and explosion risk assessments for a range of industrial sectors. One common issue is the lack of understanding (and available guidance) on what constitutes a ‘suitable and sufficient’ documentation package to demonstrate compliance. Documents are also frequently treated as ‘one offs’ rather than ‘living documents’ requiring regular review, update and re-training of staff of the updated content. Aimed at those with responsibility or involvement in implementing ATEX / DSEAR on their site, the course will provide an overview of Explosion Protection Documents (EPDs) describing their legislative background, their implementation, correct format, acceptable content and using them as living documents. This course also provides an overview of the detailed risk assessments required to support the EPD / DSEAR documents.

| 9 May 2011 | Quantified Risk Assessment (QRA) (Day 1 of 2)
Birmingham, UK
To successfully manage major process hazards, both identification of the hazards and assessment of the risks arising from them are required. In some cases, it is sufficient to carry out qualitative risk assessments using simple techniques such as risk matrices calibrated using word models. However, when the risk is judged to be high, the consequences are severe, the system is complex or there is a regulatory requirement qualitative assessments may be too generic. In these cases it is necessary to evaluate the risks numerically using Quantified Risk Assessment (QRA). The results from QRA can be used to evaluate whether or not the risk is acceptable, and to identify measures for cost-effective risk reduction. It is also a powerful technique for comparing the relative risks of different options e.g. the transport of materials by pipeline vs. road transport. QRA can also allow companies to meet their regulatory obligations, such as those required by the Seveso II Directive (COMAH Regulations 1999 in the UK).

| 30 Mar 2011 | Functional Safety IEC 61508 in Action - Safety Instrumentation Integrity (Day 2 of 3)
Birmingham, UK
An introduction to IEC 61508/11 Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) Integrity which looks at the lifecycle implementation phase. The need for a SIS will have been established from an assessment of the process risk during a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Determination exercise (see our separate course on this subject). This will have generated the functional safety requirement and the Required SIL of the SIS. The focus for the team then becomes the detailed design of the instrumented system to ensure that the end-to-end configuration can satisfy this functional safety requirement (e.g. the Achieved SIL satisfies the Required SIL).

| 10 Mar 2011 | Waste Compatibility
Birmingham, UK
A number of unexpected, reportable adverse reaction incidents have occurred in the waste treatment industry in recent years. The incidents have been caused by the mixing of incompatible wastes in bulking vessels which have reacted together to generate heat and / or gas.
The course discusses and describes the procedure on which the Environment Agency best practice guidance will be based. The course covers a wide range of topics but focuses on what type of tests should be used for compatibility studies. It also provides practical and detailed guidance on the conduct of the tests, criteria that should be applied and application of the data to larger scale bulking operations.

| 1 Mar 2011 | Ignition Sources
Southampton, UK
Whenever you handle flammable liquids, gases or powders, ignition sources are never far away. The consequences of ignition can be devastating resulting in loss of life, business and bad publicity to name a few. In Europe, the importance of ignition source management is recognised in the ATEX Directives. This has resulted in an array of guidance for end user operators and equipment manufacturers. Despite ATEX now being a mature Directive, Chilworth continue to find sites where ignition source management is poor. This course studies best practice in detecting your ignition risks and managing them to inherent levels of safety.

| 10 Jun 2010 | Predicting Reaction Hazards: a Strategic Course in Thermo-Chemical Risks
Brussels, Belgium
A new course for 2010 equipping chemists with tools for rapid identification of thermo-chemical risks to help them develop inherently safer processes for scale-up. Understanding and predicting exothermic reaction and thermal instability risks in process development is crucial in having our chemists develop safer processes. When chemists don't have the necessary background knowledge - or tools - engineers are often faced with the challenge of scaling up potentially hazardous processes. This can require expensive and complicated safety systems which can add considerably to the scale-up cost. Where a process is developed with intrinsic hazards, it also increases the possibility of having an incident. This course will equip delegates with new skills and methods that they can immediately utilise in their daily jobs to develop safer processes. Several workshops are included throughout the day to check learning and exemplify the procedures and tools.
