Process Safety Conflict Index (PSCI) For Toxic Release Using Risk Based Approach

Inherent safety is an important term for development of safety performance indicator. Inherent safety principles are used in order to calculate the safety performance indicator for selected based case. The safety performance indicator has been developed from the traditional approach to the new strategies and tools. In this project, the aim is to develop an inherently safety model by considering the conflicts or tradeoffs that will be arose when a process unit is attempt to apply Inherent Safety Principles. The focus will be narrowed down on analyzing the risk of toxic release. The risk will be calculated by implementing one of available tools for inherent safety. The method that will be used in this project will be similar to the available tools. However, the calculated risk is corresponding to the damage index and the conflict indices which will be developed throughout the project. Thus, conflict index, CI has been developed in taken into accounts the likelihood of conflicts that arise in the design options after considering the inherent safety principles (ISP) which is the measurement of the impact of the ISP analysis to the safety process.
