Formal Safety Assessment (FSA)

Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) is a vital tool used to evaluate and quantify risks in industrial facilities, including production sites, pipelines, and storage facilities. It provides a systematic approach to identifying potential hazards, analyzing their consequences, and assessing their likelihood. QRAs generate detailed, numerical insights into risks, enabling organizations to take proactive steps to protect people, assets, and the environment.

Importance of FSA

1. Enhances Safety

2. Supports Compliance

3. Informs Decision-Making

4. Facilitates Emergency Preparedness

Key Steps in FSA

1

Hazard Identification

Pinpoint potential risks from hazardous substances or processes.

2

Scenario Development

Define credible scenarios for events such as leaks, explosions, or fires.

3

Consequence Analysis

Evaluate the potential impact of incidents on people, assets, and the environment.

4

Frequency Analysis

Assess the likelihood of these events using historical data and advanced modeling tools.

5

Risk Evaluation

Combine likelihood and consequence data to calculate metrics like Location Specific Individual Risk (LSIR), Individual Risk Per Annum
(IRPA), and Potential Loss of Life (PLL).

6

Benchmarking and Recommendations

Compare risks against regulatory requirements and industry standards, providing actionable risk reduction strategies.
