Course Description:
Recorded at AIHce EXP 2023
Risk management guides and references as well as standards (e.g., ANSI, SEMI) provide the hazards analysis (HA) practitioner with guidance on using risk matrices to support risk identification. Risk matrices are a tool in the HA practitioner's toolbox to help make risk-based decisions to assign resources. Proper use of the risk matrix is a powerful tool; whereas, misapplication of the risk matrix may yield a hollow promise of safety and waste resources. This session will provide lessons learned from the use of qualitative, semi-qualitative, and qualitative risk matrices to aid the HA practitioner with addressing risk, and the adequacy of safeguards. The presentation is based on the risk assessment publications of the: a) Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), b) American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), c) International System Safety Society (ISSS), d) American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP), and e) Alliance of Hazardous Materials Professionals (AHMP).
Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of the session, the participant will be able to:
• Describe qualitative risk matrix development principles.
• Identify common mistakes for risk matrix usage.
• Manage consequence and frequency derivations.
• Implement preventive and mitigative control applications.
