INTRODUCTION Safety Integrity Level (SIL) review is an analysis which aims at the determination of the appropriate reliability required from the elements of the Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF) identified in prior safety reviews (e.g. HAZOP). The approach of this guideline is to remove the uncertainty regarding the safety integrity, cost effectiveness and availability requirements, reducing over and under engineering, in a traceable manner. SIL study is a method to record all the SIF for a project development and document the expected reliability level. SIL study provides a basis for future maintenance and operating strategies. SIL shall be conducted during FEED phase and /or EPIC phase in accordance with Project HSE Plan or as required by the outcome of Safety Reviews of a project. SIL assignment is based on the amount of risk reduction that is necessary to mitigate the risk associated with the process to a tolerable level. All of the Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) design, operation and maintenance choices must then be verified against the SIL assigned.

2.0

SCOPE This guideline details the structure, responsibilities and techniques of the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) review.

3.0

APPLICATION The SIL review of the project shall cover all Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) in process and utility units where there is potential for hazard to human safety, environment or asset /production loss.

4.0

POLICY QP is committed to protect the health and safety of its employees and others that may be affected by its activities and to give proper regard to the conservation of the environment. QP policy is to conduct its activities such that it strives towards an incident free, secure, safe and healthy workplace. Safety studies and reviews shall be performed during the course of a project or modifications to an existing facility. This is to identify, qualify, quantify and to establish that design safety measures shall provide adequate protection and mitigate any risk involved with the proposed project development or the modifications.

7.0

METHODOLOGY/ APPROACH The technical standard IEC 61511 sets out a good practice for engineering of safety instrumented systems that ensure the safety of process industries. This standard defines the functional safety requirements established by IEC 61508 in process industry sector terminology. It also focuses attention on one type of instrumented safety system used within the process sector, the safety instrumented system (SIS). IEC 61511 covers the design and management requirements for SISs. Its scope includes initial concept, design, implementation, operation, and maintenance through decommissioning. The standard starts in the earliest phase of a project and continues through start up. It contains sections that cover modifications that come along later, along with maintenance activities and the eventual decommissioning activities. The standard consists of three parts as detailed under Clause 6.0. The SIL review session is a guided team brainstorming activity that benefits from a structured method and from the broad experience of a multidisciplinary team led by a SIL facilitator. The methodology that will be employed for the SIL determination is a technique uses a semi qualitative method: calibrated risk graph, as defined in IEC 61511-3 Annex D.

Essentially the SIL derived rating is a measure of risk reduction that is required to be achieved by the safety instrumented system in order that the residual risk is acceptable or is as low as reasonably acceptable (ALARP) There are four levels of Safety Integrity for Safety Instrumented Functions, SIL1 to SIL 4. SIL 4 has the highest level of safety integrity and SIL 1 has the lowest. For SIF which are assigned SIL 1 or SIL 2 no further studies or action shall be required. However, for SIF which are assigned SIL 3 or 4, the SIL classification shall be considered in detail using a Quantitative method: Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) as defined in IEC 61511-3 Annex F. SIL classification study shall be carried out for all the elements of SIS; i.e. PSD, ESD and F&G as identified in the Cause & Effect matrix. The outcome of the SIL assessment is followed by a SIL verification study, where the reliability of the SIS is verified. Dedicated computer spreadsheet or dedicated SIL software shall be used for recording SIL proceedings. The software tool used for determining SIL shall be in accordance with IEC 61508/61511 and shall have a provision to calibrate the Risk Graph based on QP SIL review guideline. Note: Contractor shall develop project specific SIL procedure and terms of reference consistent with QP SIL guideline and shall submit to QP for prior approval.

CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE ON DEMAND (CoFD) The team shall identify all the consequences of the identified demand scenario(s). The location of the plant and of the relative positions of installations can have a significant influence in the consequences. The correct appreciation of these consequences is critical to the appropriate classification of the SIF.

9.6

INDEPENDENT SAFEGUARDS Where applicable, the team may list of Independent safeguards (independent from SIF) which can reduce the event probability.

9.7

SIL ASSESSMENT – CALIBRATED RISK GRAPH METHOD After the evaluation of the Consequences of Failure on Demand, each SIF is assigned with a Safety Integrity Level (SIL). The SIL determination shall be based on calibrated risk graphs from IEC 61511-3. This Risk Graphs are based on the following:  The consequences of the hazardous situation for Personnel Safety, Environment and Economic/ Asset loss (parameters S, E and A respectively),  The Occupancy (parameter F),  The probability of avoiding the hazardous situation (parameter P),  The Demand Rate (W).

9.7.1 Consequence (Parameters S, E and A) The consequences of the hazardous situation for personnel safety, environment and economic/ asset loss (parameters S, E and A respectively) are further defined for various risk levels. These definitions are consistent with QP Risk Assessment Matrix. Table 1 - Consequence Risk Parameter for Personnel Safety(S) Consequence Risk Parameter

Definition

S1(CA)

Minor injury or health effects

S2 (CB)

Major injury or health effects

S3 (CC)

9.7.2 Exposure time (Parameter F) The exposure time of an individual in a hazardous situation are further defined for two occupancy conditions. Table 4- Occupancy Exposure Time Parameter (F) Exposure time in the hazardous zone

Definition Rare to more often exposure in the hazardous zone (normally unmanned operation of the relevant part of the plant). Occupancy less than 10%.

F1

Frequent to permanent exposure in the hazardous zone (relevant part of plant is attended locally on a regular basis, e.g. every shift, or during the specific time of demand, e.g. start-up or shut-down, or relevant part of the plant is located near a continuously occupied road)

F2

9.7.3 Probability of avoiding the Hazard (Parameter P) This parameter represents the probability of avoiding the hazardous event if the protection system fails. Two scenarios are defined for SIL review. Table 5- Probability of avoiding the Hazard Parameter (P) Probability of avoiding the hazardous event

Definition

P1

Possible under certain conditions – some warning available. (Operator is capable of getting away from the hazard or hazard is mitigated by other measures).

P2

Almost impossible – No warning available. (Operator may not be aware of hazard or may not be able to get away sufficiently quick).

Notes: This parameter takes into account:   

Operation of a process (supervised i.e. operated by skilled or unskilled persons or unsupervised). Rate of development of the hazardous event (suddenly, quickly and slowly). Ease of recognition of danger (seen immediately, detected by technical measures or detected without technical measures).

Rev1

Avoidance of hazardous event (escape possible, not possible or possible under certain conditions; independent facilities are provided to shutdown). Facilities are provided to alert the operator that the SIS has failed. The time between the operator being alerted and a hazardous event occurring exceeds 15 minutes or is definitely sufficient for the necessary actions. Actual safety experience (such experience may exist with an identical unit or a similar unit or may not exist).

9.7.4 Demand Rate (W) The purpose of the demand rate (W factor) is to estimate the frequency of the unwanted occurrence in the absence of the SIF under consideration. This can be determined by considering all failures which can lead to the hazardous event and estimating the overall rate of occurrence. Other protection layers should be included in the consideration. Three conditions are defined for SIL review. Table 6- Demand Rate Parameter (W) Likelihood of the unwanted occurrence

W1

W2

W3

Definition A very slight probability that the unwanted occurrences will happen and only a few unwanted occurrences are likely: Once in every 30 to 100 years. A slight probability that the unwanted occurrences will happen and few unwanted occurrences are likely: Once in every three to 30 years. A relatively high probability that the unwanted occurrences will happen and frequent unwanted occurrences are likely: more than once in every one to three years.

9.7.5 Risk Graph – Personnel Safety, (Ref. IEC 61511-3 fig D.1) Risk graph as referred in Figure 2 shall be used to determine SIL for personnel safety. The consequences of the hazardous situation for personnel safety are determined as SIL levels using risk graph.

9.7.7 Risk Graph – Economical Loss The risk graph approach may also be used to determine the integrity level requirements where the consequences of failure include asset loss. Asset loss is the total economic loss associated with failure to function on demand. A similar risk graph to that used for environmental protection can be used for asset loss. It should be noted that the F parameter should not be used the concept of occupancy does not apply. Other parameter P and W apply and definitions can be identical to those applied above to safety consequences.

Fig 4- Risk graph: Economic loss For each SIF operating in demand mode, the required SIL shall be specified in accordance with either Figs 2, 3 or 4.

F

Probability of avoiding the hazard

P

Demand rate

W

Number of fatalities and/or serious injuries likely to result from the occurrence of the hazardous event. Determined by calculating the numbers in the exposed area when the area is occupied taking in to account the vulnerability to the hazardous event. Probability that the exposed area is occupied at the time of the hazardous event. Determined by calculating the fraction of time the area is occupied at the time of the hazardous event. This should take in to account the possibility of an increased likelihood of persons being in the exposed area in order to investigate abnormal situations which may exist during the build-up to the hazardous event ( consider also if this changes the C parameter) The probability that exposed persons are able to avoid the hazardous situation which exists if the safety instrumented function fails on demand. This depends on there being independent methods of alerting the exposed persons to the hazard prior to the hazard occurring and there being methods of escape. The number of times per year that the hazardous event would occur in the absence of the safety instrumented function under consideration. This can be determined by considering all failures which can lead to the hazardous event and estimating the overall rate of occurrence. Other protection layers should be included in the consideration.

12.7 APPENDIX VII – Cont., QP CORPORATE RISK MATRIX

Risk Matrix (Explanation Sheet)

Consequence Category Definitions 1.0 PEOPLE Harm to people is further explained for: Slight injury or Health effects: This includes first aid and medical treatment that does not affect work performance or cause disability. Minor injury or Health effects: A lost time injury that restricts a person's work performance where the injury results in a work assignment after the day of the incident that does not include al of the normal duties of that person's regular job. It may take a few days off from work to fully recover (Lost Time Incident). Limited health effects that are reversible, e.g. skin irritation, food poisoning. Major injury or Health effects (Including permanent partial disability): Work performance is affected in the long term, such as prolonged absence from work, irreversible damage to health without loss of life. For example, noise induced hearing loss, chronic back injuries. Single fatality or permanent total disability: This is either from a work - related incident or an occupational illness such as poisoning or cancer. Multiple fatalities: More than one fatality either from a work - related incident

or

an

occupational illness such as poisoning or cancer. 2.0 ENVIRONMENT Harm to the Environment is further explained for: Slight effect: Negligible financial consequences and local environmental risk within the fence and within the system. Minor effect: Contamination; damage sufficiently large to impact to impact the environment; single exceeding of statutory or prescribed limits; single complaint; no permanent effect on the environment. Local effect: Limited loss of discharges of unknown toxicity; repeated exceeding of statutory or prescribed limits and beyond fence or neighbourhood. Doc File No.: GDL-S-030 R1

Major effect: Severe environmental damage; the company is required to take extensive measures to restore the contaminated environment to its original state; Extended exceeding of statutory or prescribed limits. Massive effect: Persistent severe environmental damage or severe nuisance extending over a large area; In terms of commercial or recreational use or nature conservancy, a major economic loss for the company; Constant high exceeding of statutory or prescribed limits. 3.0 ASSET DAMAGE/ LOSS OF PRODUCTION Asset damage and loss of production is further explained for: Slight damage: No disruption to operation with estimated cost less than QR 25,000. Minor damage: Brief disruption to operation with estimated cost less than QR 350,000. Local damage: Partial shutdown of operation; can be restarted with estimated cost up to QR 3,500,000. Major damage: Partial loss of operation; 2 weeks shutdown with estimated cost up to QR 35,000,000. Massive damage: Substantial or total loss of operation with estimated cost in excess of QR 35,000,000. 4.0 REPUTATION

Damage or loss of reputation is further explained for: Slight impact: Public awareness may exist but there is no public concern. Limited impact: Some local public concern; some local media and /or local political attention with potentially adverse aspects for QP operations. National impact: National public concern; extensive adverse attention in the national media. Regional impact: Extensive adverse attention in the regional media; regional public and political concern. International impact: Extensive adverse attention in international media; international public attention.
