Hazard and Effects Management Process (HEMP)

CTSafe Center is in partnership with Asian Society of  Safety and Health Professionals (ASSHP) to provide a training course of HEMP.

Introduction

Each organization needs to identify the hazards present in their business or at their site, how and where those hazards can be released and assess the risks of the consequences of those release scenarios. They then have to prepare the Hazard and Effects Register, ensure that the appropriate level of Hazard Analyses is conducted (Controls and Recovery Measures) for identified Red and Yellow risks and then demonstrate that these are managed to ALARP.

 What is HEMP?

HEMP is a systematic hazard analysis process used to identify the hazards present in businesses or operations, assess the risk of their release and identify the controls and recovery measures that need to be in place to manage that hazard. The HEMP analysis ultimately identifies HSE critical activities and business processes that enable effective management of these control and recovery measures and identifies the job function or functions that are responsible for these control and recovery measures.

 Suitable for

This course is ideal for anyone with process safety management role and HSE staff

Course outline

This course covers the following points:

• What is HEMP?
• HEMP Process
• HEMP documents

The Practical Steps in the HEMP Process

• Step 1 – Hazard Identification
• Step 2 – Identification of Top Event and Threats
• Step 3 – Assessment of Risks
• Step 4 – Identification of Red and Yellow Risks
• Step 5 – Hazard Control and Recovery Analysis
• Step 6 – Maintaining the Integrity of Control and Recovery Barriers
• Step 7 – Managing Risks to ALARP

The Hazards and Effects Management Process (HEMP) identifies and assesses HSE hazards, implements control and recovery measures, and maintains a documented demonstration that major HSE risks have been reduced to a level that is As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP).

Course Outcome

After the training, candidates will be able to:

• Use tools in the HEMP process
• Use the RAM
• Use the Bow Tie diagram
