About LOPA
Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) is a semi-quantitative method that takes a hazard scenario — usually one flagged during a HAZOP — and tests whether the existing independent protection layers cut its likelihood to a tolerable level. For each scenario the facilitator credits the initiating-event frequency, any enabling conditions and each qualifying safeguard, then compares the residual risk against the organisation's risk criteria to size any remaining gap.
Where a gap remains, LOPA usually points to a safety instrumented function and feeds directly into SIL determination. The consultants listed here facilitate LOPA either as a follow-on to a HAZOP or as a standalone revalidation, and most also chair the parent study and carry the resulting requirements through to SIL verification.
