Preface

PREFACE Welcome to PHA-Pro®, the most comprehensive and innovative software tool for conducting a Process HAzards Analysis. It provides expert guidance for studying a full range of products to help companies identify potential problems in order to eliminate them, or at least reduce their likelihood of occurring and minimize their harmful effects. PHA-Pro includes numerous features that make it quick and easy to record information, generate quantitative risk data and create PDF and HTML reports. This manual shows you how to get the most out of these features. PHA-Pro not only helps you to conduct a PHA, it also facilitates your study. The predefined hierarchy immediately gives structure and focus to your PHA. The built-in libraries aid you in quickly entering data instead of having to recreate it from scratch, and the libraries can also help your PHA team to brainstorm. In short, this software stands out from generic products, such as spreadsheets, that were never specifically designed for an PHA environment. When you open PHA-Pro, you can immediately begin conducting your Process Hazards Analysis much more quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively. This section discusses the following topics: IHS End-User License Agreement for Desktop Pro Software Products on page v.

PHA-Pro


The first time you launch PHA-Pro, the License Configuration dialog box opens. It asks for a License to authorize the copy of PHA-Pro. For information on authorizing your software, see Authorizing Your License on page 10. Note: If you are updating to PHA-Pro 8.0 from an earlier version, you must request a kill code from Application Support as well as request a new license.

Client Installation Setup

Once PHA-Pro has been set up on your server, you must set up the individual workstations to access to the program. You can set up as many individual workstations as you require. The maximum number of users that can use PHA-Pro at any given time, however, equals the number of licenses purchased. If you require additional licenses, please contact your vendor. Note: In order to install this software on a Vista machine, you must run the installer as an administrator. You can do this by right clicking the installation package and selecting "Run as Administrator". Contact your Information Systems Specialist for assistance if necessary.

To setup client access to the network version of PHA-Pro: Step

Alternate Network Setup

Action

1.

Login to the workstation with administrator rights.

2.

Point to the PHA-Pro 8.0.3.1 client setup.exe file on the server.

3.

Run the exe and follow the Wizard.

An alternate network installation for PHA-Pro is to set up the license on your server and install unlicensed copies of PHA-Pro on your workstations. When you start PHA-Pro on the workstation, it authorizes its license against that on the server. This allows the workstations to work faster than if the program was on server. To set up the license on your server and install unlicensed copies on your workstations: Step 1.

Action Install PHA-Pro on the server. For more information, see Installing PHA-Pro on a Windows 2003, 2008 Server on page 4.

2.

Run PHA-Pro on the server and give it a network license. For more information, see Authorizing Your Copy on page 11.

3.

Install PHA-Pro on the client computer. For more information, see Installing PHA-Pro on a Single Workstation on page 3.

4.

Run PHA-Pro on the client computer. The License Configuration dialog box opens. Note: Do not license PHA-Pro on the client computer. If it is already licensed, go to Help>License to open the dialog box.

Step

Action

5.

Within the License dialog box, click the See more options.

6.

Click Change license location.

7.

Click the Browse button.

8.

Find the folder on the server where PHA-Pro was installed in step 1.

9.

Select this folder and click OK.

10.

Click OK to exit the Choose License Location dialog box. A message tells you that PHA-Pro needs to be restarted.

11.

Click OK. PHA-Pro automatically restarts.

You can install as many unlicensed copies of PHA-Pro as you require. The maximum number of users that can use PHA-Pro at any given time, however, equals the number of licenses purchased. If you require additional licenses, please contact your vendor. Setting Folder Options

The settings.ini file allows you to set up certain options in a central location. Once set up, these options will be the same for all users of the network license. You can also lock these settings so that individual users cannot change them. A sample ini file is as follows: [folders] DocumentFolder=\\Server1\Share\Documents TemplateFolder=\\Server1\Share\Templates LibraryFolder=\\Server1\Share\Libraries AutobackupFolder=\\Server2\Share\Autobackup DocumentFolderLock=1 TemplateFolderLock=1 LibraryFolderLock=1 AutobackupFolderLock=1

In the above sample, each option name corresponds to the File Location option in PHA-Pro. For more information, see Changing File Locations on page 8. For each folder option in the ini file, there is a corresponding lock option that locks the folder so that users cannot change it. For example for the folder option DocumentFolder, there is the lock option DocumentFolderLock. Note: You do not have to specify the lock option to allow users to change the folder settings.

Chapter 2: Methodologies and Advanced Techniques

CHAPTER 2: METHODOLOGIES AND ADVANCED TECHNIQUES PHA-Pro software is specifically designed for conducting a Process Hazards Analysis (PHA) in a wide variety of industrial settings. It supports the most commonly used PHA methodologies and provides many features that empower you to complete studies quickly and efficiently. This overview discusses the PHA methodologies supported by PHA-Pro, including the strengths and limitations of each method. Understanding these basics is essential for choosing the approach that best meets your needs and for planning an effective study. For more information, see Guidelines for Process Hazards Analysis, Hazards Identification & Risk Analysis, 3rd Edition (2003). This section discusses the following topics: Risk Concepts on page 16.

Risk Concepts Before carrying out a PHA to identifying hazard, you should understand the difference between hazard and risk. Many people often confuse risk and hazard. Although related, they are not the same. This section discusses the following topics: What is a Hazard? on page 16. Identifying Hazards on page 16 What is Risk? on page 16. Managing Risk on page 16. As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) on page 16. What is a Hazard?

A hazard is an inherent chemical or physical characteristic that has the potential for causing damage to people, property, or the environment.

Identifying Hazards

When identifying hazards, you must identify the following: • • • •

Potential loss of containment situations. Causes that can result in loss of containment. Potential consequences of loss of containment. Potential safeguards that may: • •

What is Risk?

Prevent loss of containment. Mitigate or reduce the consequences.

Risk is a measure of the consequence of a hazard and the frequency with which it is likely to occur. In mathematical terms, Risk can be defined as the product of Consequence and Frequency: RISK = CONSEQUENCE X FREQUENCY

Managing Risk

The first step in managing risk is to identify the hazards of the process. Your PHA team must evaluate hazards that can potentially impact people, the environment, our business and the corporate reputation. The second step is to assess the risks. The frequency and consequences of each hazard are determined to determine the risk. If the hazard does not pose a serious risk, it is reviewed from an economic standpoint for cost effectiveness and for implementation. For non-serious risks, the concept of ALARP is applied. For more information, see As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) on page 16. The third step is to manage the risks. This can only be done once the hazards have been identified, and the risks assessed. Depending on the level of risk, the decision to accept the risk or take remedial action(s) is made.

As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)

Not all risks can be eliminated. ALARP is balancing risk reduction against the time, difficulty, and cost of achieving it. ALARP is based on the principle of

reducing risk to a level such that any further risk reduction would cost more than the benefits incurred.

17

PHA-Pro


Choosing a PHA Methodology Each PHA methodology is best suited for different circumstances, but all have a similar format. In general, a PHA identifies four key elements: • • • •

The source of the hazard – also referred to as the cause, the “what if” item, the hazard or the failure mode, depending on the type of PHA study. The consequence, impact or effect – results from exposure to the hazard. Safeguards, controls or mitigative features – intended to prevent the hazard from occurring or reduce the consequences that result. Recommendations – actions that can be taken if the safeguards, controls or mitigative features are considered inadequate, or if none are in place.

When choosing a methodology, consider the following: • • • • • • •

Extent of the risk – is it high, medium or low? Familiarity – how familiar are you and your team with the plant or process being studied? Stage of the facility life – is the facility you are studying in the planning stages, already in existence or is it being modified? Stage of the process – at which point of the operation or design cycle is the PHA being applied? Equipment – is the analysis limited to certain items of equipment? Type of process – is the process batch or continuous? Internal and external regulatory requirements - do these require a specific methodology?

Since these considerations can vary greatly from one situation to the next, identifying which methodology is right for your particular needs is beyond the scope of this manual. Instead, general guidelines are presented. Choosing a suitable approach is always the responsibility of you and your colleagues because no one else is more familiar with your situation. When in doubt, choose a rigorous methodology to reduce the chances of incomplete assessment.

HAZOP Methodology HAZards and OPerability analysis (HAZOP) simulates abnormal behavior by considering deviations and disturbances due to causes likely to impact immediate and surrounding plant resulting in consequences. The study team then decides whether the design has adequate features that can prevent occurrence or limit the consequential effects. If no such safeguards exist, then the team considers what actions are needed to remedy the situation. Guide Word HAZOP is one of the most rigorous PHA methodologies, and many experts believe this approach gives the most complete analysis. Knowledge Based HAZOP can also be a valuable technique, provided that the engineering, plant and facility design standards and procedures are extensive and that the study team is highly experienced. This section discusses the following topics: Guide Word HAZOP on page 20. The Cause-by-Cause Methodology on page 22. The Deviation-by-Deviation Methodology on page 22. Methodology for Guide Word HAZOP on page 23. Assigning Nodes on page 23. Examining Causes of Deviations on page 23. Identifying Consequences, Safeguards and Recommendations on page 23.

Knowledge Based HAZOP on page 25. Time Requirements of Knowledge Based HAZOP on page 25. Advantages of Knowledge Based HAZOP on page 26. Limitations of Knowledge Based HAZOP on page 26. Guide Word HAZOP

Guide Word HAZOP is a qualitative PHA method that identifies potential hazards and operating problems. This technique applies guide words to process parameters to create deviations from the design intention. Guide Word + Parameter = Deviation Example: High + Flow = High Flow

April 2, 2013

PHA-Pro


The deviations apply to specific items, known as nodes. Risk analysts use Guide Word HAZOP to identify process and/or operational hazards as well as unacceptable risk situations. The following table presents some examples of guide words and parameters. Note: Not all guide words can be applied to all parameters. For example, it is invalid to combine the guide word “Reverse” with the parameter “Temperature” because “Reverse Temperature” does not exist.

sessions must be dedicated to risk, not side issues, and must include a systematic review of all equipment items. This methodology is applicable to continuous processes, batch processes and written procedures, such as operating instructions. The technique can be used for new designs at later stages, existing processes, revamp cases and plant modifications. Some of the newer applications of Guide Word HAZOP include computer-controlled systems critiques. Becoming familiar with Guide Word HAZOP is highly recommended before you begin using other PHA techniques. Once you learn how to use the Guide Word HAZOP methodology, the other techniques are relatively simple to follow. The Cause-by-Cause Methodology

The Cause-by-Cause (CBC) methodology links each cause to consequences, safeguards and recommendations. CBC is an accurate HAZOP methodology because it is fully auditable. In the following example, there are three causes, two consequences, three safeguards and two recommendations:

The Deviation-by-Deviation Methodology

Related Consequences

Related Safeguards

Related Recommendations

Safeguard #1 Safeguard #2 Safeguard #3

None required

Cause 2

Consequence #1

Safeguard #1

Recommendation #1

Cause 3

Consequence #2

The Deviation-by-Deviation (DBD) methodology records causes, consequences, safeguards and recommendations but does not show linking. This example is for the same situation as in the previous example: Consequences

Cause 2

Consequence #2

Tip: You should use the CBC methodology wherever possible, because regulatory agencies emphasize the need for auditable documentation. The DBD approach may not satisfy such requirements. Note: Other Guide Word HAZOP methodologies include the Exception Only method and the Recommendation (or Action) Only method. These techniques are not recommended due to their lack of thoroughness.

Methodology for Guide Word HAZOP


Guide Word HAZOP methodology consists of seven key steps: Step

Action

1.

Assemble up-to-date P&IDs, PFDs, material⁄energy balances, plot plans, equipment specifications and so on.

2.

Divide P&IDs systematically into nodes by line, vessel, pump, heat exchanger number and so forth. Note: Nodes can consist of multiple items, such as Pump + Line + Heat Exchanger.

3.

Prepare HAZOP Outline that lists each node with respective deviations by using guide words applied to parameters.

4.

Record administrative information, such as company name, location, unit, team members and so on.

5.

Assemble HAZOP team and explain process flow sheet, P&ID and so forth, as required.

6.

For each node, examine each deviation for: • • • • •

7.

Assigning Nodes

Possible causes. Potential consequences. Effective safeguards. Recommendation items, if existing safeguards are not adequate. Remarks, if required.

Assign responsibilities for recommendations.

You should assign nodes on a functional basis to reflect a specific function. Most nodes are of the “Line” type, but other categories include Vessels, Compressors, Tanks, and Reactors. Typical examples of nodes include the following: • • •

Transference or heating of a material. Increasing the potential energy by mechanical means, such as a pump. Separation of phases.

You may find it beneficial to join several types of nodes to form a single compound node, such as Line + Pump + Heat Exchanger. Doing so may help you to avoid repetition and to maintain continuity and focus. Examining Causes of Deviations

Identifying Consequences, Safeguards and Recommendations

For each deviation, list all possible causes for the deviation from the design intention. Examples of this procedure might include the following: Deviation

Possible Cause

Low/No Flow

A level control valve failing in the closed position

High Temperature

Uncontrolled runaway exothermic reaction in a reactor

High Pressure

Loss of cooling water to a condenser

For each cause, identify the potential consequences. If you want, you can use the following criteria to help rank each consequence:

April 2, 2013

• • • • • • •

Fire. Explosion. Toxicity. Environmental Release. Personnel Safety Loss. Production Loss. Capital Loss.

For each cause, identify the existing safeguards to prevent the cause from occurring and/or mitigate the associated consequences. If the existing safeguards are not adequate to reduce risk to an acceptable level, you need to make recommendations. Team Requirements

A study team conducting a Guide Word HAZOP should ideally include the following individuals: • • • • • •

Data Requirements

Facilitator who is familiar with the Guide Word HAZOP methodology. Person who is entirely familiar with the process. Operations Supervisor. Maintenance Supervisor. Other specialists in areas such as instrumentation, controls, electronics, mechanical operations, and so forth. Scribe (optional).

Limitations of Guide Word HAZOP

Guide Word HAZOP has the following disadvantages:

Knowledge Based HAZOP

Knowledge Based HAZOP is a variation of Guide Word HAZOP and is based on the assumption that previous lessons learned, documented and applied can serve as a basis for evaluating and upgrading a facility, system, unit or process. Guide words are replaced for the most part by the knowledge and expertise of the team members and by detailed library checklists. This methodology compares the design to well-established designs and similar design practices that have proven integrity and performance and that are well documented from previous experience. As a result, this approach may be inadequate for new processes with unproven track records.

• •

Time consuming. Can only be used for short study sessions, otherwise team members experience fatigue.

When using Knowledge Based HAZOP, an organization should have the following: • • •

A well-proven track record. Experience with similar designs. Extensive design standards and procedures.

The following are the same as for Guide Word HAZOP: • • • • • • •

Team requirements. Data requirements. Assigning nodes. Assigning consequences. Assigning safeguards. Proposing recommendations. You can use risk matrices. Tip: Use the Knowledge Based Library Checklists that come with PHA-Pro. You can easily modify these libraries to suit your needs. For more information, see Chapter 6: Working with Libraries, Copy From and AutoType on page 137. Tip: Although the use of guide words and parameters to form deviations is not an integral part of Knowledge Based HAZOP, you can apply these items as a last step in the analytical procedure. In doing so, treat the unit in question as a single node.

What If Methodology What If analysis is a creative, brainstorming methodology for examining a process, operation or facility. This qualitative technique identifies design faults, potential hazards and operating problems – depending on the team’s experience – by asking “What if …” questions for hazards. An example of such a question might be, “What if the feed material is directed to the wrong storage tank?” The team assesses the consequences of this event and, depending on what safeguards are present, decides upon recommendations for preventing such an occurrence. This section discusses the following topics: When and How to Use What If on page 27. Steps in the What If Procedure on page 27. Time Requirements on page 28. Advantages of What If Analysis on page 28. Limitations of What If Analysis on page 28. When and How to Use What If

You can use What If analysis for either new or existing facilities. The technique is easy to learn and use and can be a powerful tool, but to get the most out of this methodology your team needs an experienced leader and adequate preparation. What If analysis is best used in conjunction with the Checklist method, otherwise the team’s imagination may prove inadequate during study sessions. The following are the same as for Guide Word HAZOP: • • • • • • •

Checklist Methodology Checklist analysis uses lists of guidelines or procedures to verify the potential risk of the process, operation or facility. Your checklists can be as extensive and detailed as necessary. You can use this PHA technique when designing a new facility or when examining an existing facility. This section discusses the following topics: When and How to Use Checklist Methodology on page 29. Steps in the Checklist Procedure on page 29. Time Requirements on page 30. Advantages of Checklist Analysis on page 30. Limitations of Checklist Analysis on page 30. When and How to Use Checklist Methodology

Using Checklist analysis is beneficial when there is a lack of experienced personnel or when an individual must complete the analysis because a study team is not available. Your study team can be as small as one or two persons, since this technique uses only a checking function. If desired, however, the group can be as large as for a HAZOP.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Methodology Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is highly respected as an effective tool for identifying and rectifying problems before potentially harmful or catastrophic failures occur. It is a comprehensive engineering technique that examines the failure modes of equipment and their effects on the system. Failure modes are the ways in which equipment fails to function as required, such as “failure to operate at the prescribed time,” “failure to cease operation at the prescribed time,” “bent,” “blocked,” or “leaking.” FMEA splits facilities into components and subcomponents. Participants then postulate failures, examine effects, record safeguards and recommend modifications. By consulting a Risk Matrix, the study team uses the severity of the consequences and the likelihood of failure to define risk ranking levels for failure modes. This section discusses the following topics: When and How to use FMEA on page 33. Steps in an FMEA Study on page 34. Advantages of FMEA on page 34. Limitations of FMEA on page 34. When and How to use FMEA

FMEA is ideal for analyzing items of equipment or specific systems that are best handled as objects rather than with parameters or operations. The methodology is well suited for examining equipment having interactive mechanical and/or electrical and/or electronic components. FMEA is typically used in the following situations: • • •

On mechanical equipment such as pumps and compressors that have a history of component failures. On systems for which there are few drawings or details but where individual components are readily identifiable. On reliability studies or for input into quantitative risk assessment studies.

The procedure for assigning failure modes, effects, safeguards/controls and recommendations is similar to that for Guide Word HAZOP, except that the failure mode is unique to the component or subcomponent being evaluated. In most cases, only two or three team members – who are specialists in the required fields – are involved in conducting an FMEA. FMEA has limited data requirements. Usually, the only items needed are drawings and other data specific to the equipment or systems being reviewed. The time requirements for an FMEA vary from several hours to several days, or more, depending on the complexity of the equipment or system being examined.

Steps in an FMEA Study


An FMEA study requires the following steps: Step

Advantages of FMEA

1.

Divide the system or component of interest into subcomponents, as required.

2.

Postulate a failure of the component or subcomponent.

3.

List the effects of the failure postulated in step 2.

4.

List safeguards or controls that might prevent or mitigate the effects of the failure.

5.

Recommend remedial recommendations to prevent or mitigate failure, if needed.

FMEA has the following advantages: • •

Limitations of FMEA

Action

Very good for analyzing complex equipment such as compressors, prime movers and so forth. Used widely where failures of components in equipment with moving parts can have major consequences.

FMEA has the following disadvantages: • •

Does not relate specific failures that have common causes. Although this technique may be used in conjunction with Fault Tree Analysis to broaden the scope of a study, PHA-Pro does not support the latter methodology.

Preliminary Hazards Analysis Methodology Preliminary Hazards Analysis (PrHA) determines potential hazards during the conceptual design and development/siting phases. This methodology alerts plant designers to hazards at an early stage so they can reduce economic disruption at detail/later phases. A PrHA can also be used for an existing facility when a broad overview of potential hazards is required. PrHA, however, is usually not considered the final hazards assessment tool. Note: Preliminary Hazards Analysis is also known as Screening Level Risk Analysis (SLRA).

This section discusses the following topics: How and When to use PrHA on page 35. PrHA Procedure on page 36. Time Requirements on page 36. Advantages of PrHA on page 36. Limitations of PrHA on page 36. How and When to use PrHA

During a PrHA, team members look at the potential hazards of the main systems, which may include the following considerations: • • • • • • •

Material hazards of feeds, intermediates, products, wastes, catalysts, absorbents and so on. Process equipment and packaged units. Plant layout. External factors, such as environmental influences. Emergency protection and safety. Operational environment. Management systems.

You should use PrHA in the following situations: • • •

Early in the development of a process. When there is limited information available. To assist with preliminary layout and siting studies.

PrHA has the following things in common with Guide Word HAZOP: • • • • • •

Team requirements. Data requirements. Assigning nodes, which are subsystems in PrHA. Assigning consequences. Assigning safeguards. Proposing recommendations.

PrHA has the following advantages: • •

Limitations of PrHA

4.

Rapid method for overview. Useful at conceptual phase or if limited data is available at the time of analysis and a fast assessment is required.

PrHA has the following disadvantages: • •

•

Not detailed enough to assess all risks. Because the PrHA is conducted early in the process and uses preliminary design information, additional analyses are generally required to more fully understand and evaluate hazards and potential accidents identified by the PrHA team. Quality of the results is highly dependent on the knowledge of the team. Since, at the time of a PrHA, there are few or no fully developed system specifications and little or no detailed design information, risk assessment relies heavily on the knowledge of subject matter experts.

Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) Methodology What is LOPA?

Consider a hazardous scenario of fire in a process plant. The Emergency Shutdown System (ESD) constitutes one layer, the Pressure Relief and Flare System constitutes another layer, the Fire Protection System involving deluge is another layer, Emergency Response another layer and so forth. The analysis of the layers for their effectiveness is referred to as LOPA. illustrates some common layers of protection for a process. LOPA is a semi-quantitative risk analysis methodology. It is used to evaluate the risk of a selected hazardous scenario by establishing an order of magnitude approximation of risk. It is semi-quantitative as it requires numerical inputs such as event frequency and probability of failure, which are selected with the intent to provide conservative risk estimation. The estimated risk is then compared with risk tolerance criteria (as established by the company) to decide if the existing layers of protection are adequate, and if additional risk reduction is needed. Without risk tolerance criteria, there is a tendency to keep adding risk mitigation measures in the belief that this would offer greater safety. More risk mitigation measures may well offer greater safety but, at some stage, may add significantly greater cost without adding significantly greater mitigation. Also mitigation measures may be added that are unnecessary and may add to the complexity of the facility that can result in potential new unidentified hazard scenarios and possibly, additional spurious shutdowns. LOPA helps to focus the limited resources on the most critical risk mitigation (and prevention) measures. This section discusses the following topics: How does LOPA work? on page 40. Steps of LOPA on page 40. Developing LOPA Scenarios on page 41. Initiating Events on page 42. Examples of Inappropriate Initiating Events on page 42. Verification of Initiating Event on page 43.

How does LOPA work?

LOPA is a scenario-driven methodology. Hence, it is based on pre-identified scenarios from studies such as qualitative Process Hazard Analyses (PHA’s), e.g. HAZOP, What-if Analysis, Management of Change evaluation, or design review. LOPA is then applied to one scenario at a time. A scenario is defined by a single cause-consequence pair. If a consequence has several causes, each cause-consequence pair is analyzed as a separate scenario. Similarly, if a cause can result in different consequences, additional scenarios should be developed. The cause-consequence pairs are screened further usually on the basis of consequence severity. Different severity categorization methods ranging from indirect reference to human harm to quantitative estimation of human harm can be used. A further criterion could be the financial costs incurred as a result of an incident

Steps of LOPA

The LOPA process consists of the following steps: Step

Action

1.

Identify and define scenarios

2.

Select an incident scenario

3.

Identify the initiating event of the scenario and determine the initiating event frequency (events per year)

4.

Identify the IPLs and estimate the probability of failure on demand (PFD) of each IPL

shows the components in a scenario. The items in solid lines are needed to make up a scenario; the optional items are represented in dotted lines.

Figure 2-2: Components in a LOPA scenario

The initiating event is the single cause of the scenario leading to the specified consequence. In some cases, if the initiating event alone cannot result in the specified consequence, it may require other conditions or events to take place. These are the enabling events and conditions. If the categorization of consequence severity is referring to fatalities, or harm to business or the environment, the conditional modifiers can be used to refine the outcome of the scenario. Typical modifiers might include: • • • • •

Probability of ignition. Probability of fatal injury. Probability of personnel being in the affected area. Probability of personnel escaping from the incident. Probability of personnel being rescued.

An Independent Protection Layer (IPL) is a safeguard capable of preventing a scenario from proceeding to its undesired consequence. It is independent of the initiating event or the action of any other layers of protection associated with the scenario.

Initiating Events

Examples of Inappropriate Initiating Events


The following table provides a list of typical initiating events that can preempt an incident. They do not necessarily result in severe or catastrophic impacts, although they can do so. Type of Event

Examples

Mechanical failures

• • • • • • • • • •

Corrosion Vibration Erosion Flow surge or hydraulic hammer Seal/gasket/flange failure Relief device stuck open Puncture Fracture Fabrication defects Brittle fracture

Control systems failures

Human external events

• • • •

Major accidents in adjacent facilities Incidents in adjacent processes Incidents within the process Mechanical impact by motor vehicles

Human failures

• • • •

Operational error Maintenance error Critical response error Programming error

Not all events can be categorized as being the direct or indirect cause for an incident. Some events may be suspect but cannot be confirmed. Typical examples of inappropriate initiating events might be: •

Inadequate operator training/certification. Possible underlying cause of an initiating event.

April 2, 2013

42

PHA-Pro


• • • Verification of Initiating Event

Inadequate testing and inspection. Possible underlying cause of an initiating event. Unavailability of protective devices such as safety valves or overspeed trips. Requires initiation of other events before protective devices are challenged. Unclear or imprecise operating procedures. Possible underlying cause of an initiating event.

Before assigning initiating event frequencies to the cause of a scenario, it is critical to ensure the cause-consequence relationship is valid. Typical criteria for this verification is given below: • •

Need to verify that the cause-consequence relationship for each scenario is unique. Try to reduce cause into discrete failure events, e.g. "Loss of cooling" can be due to a number of possible failures such as: • • • •

Coolant pump failure. Failure of cooling fans on air cooled exchangers. Power failure. Control loop failure, causing coolant failure or bypassing of coolant around exchangers.

Enabling Events/Conditions

Enabling events or conditions are operations or conditions that do not directly cause the scenario, but which must be present or active as scenario components. They should be used when the mechanism between the initiating event and the consequences needs to clarify.

Initiating Event Frequency Estimation

It is important to obtain or derive meaningful estimates of event frequencies. Usually these are obtained from one or more different sources. More importantly their order of magnitude, when different sources are compared, should be the same or similar. Typically failure rate data may be obtained from the following sources: •

Industry data - For component failures: • • •

•

Industry data - Human Error Rates: • •

• •

Guidelines for Process Equipment Reliability Data, CCPS (1986). Guide to the Collection and Presentation of Electrical, Electronic, and Sensing Component Reliability Data for Nuclear-Power Generating Stations. IEEE (1984). OREDA (Offshore Reliability Data). Inherently Safer Chemical Processes: A life Cycle Approach, CCPS (1996). Handbook of human Reliability Analysis with Emphasis on Nuclear Power Plant Applications, Swain, A.D., and H.E. Guttman, (1983).

Company experience - This includes historical data for the process and the experience of plant personnel/logged failure rate data. Vendor data - Typically optimistic as the data are developed in clean, wellmaintained (factory) settings.

All IPLs are safeguards, but not all safeguards are necessarily IPLs. An IPL has two main characteristics: • •

The effectiveness of the IPL in preventing the scenario. The independence of the IPL from the initiating event and other IPLs.

The IPL must be independent of the initiating event and all other IPLs. This is the main assumption in LOPA. It is important to look out for common cause failures. Common cause failure is the failure of more than one component, item, or system due to the same cause or initiating event. If common cause failure exists in a scenario, all of the safeguards affected by the common cause failure should only be considered as a single IPL. The table below provides definitions of the column headers in the LOPA template: Consequence

Example to Illustrate LOPA

Figure 2-3: Two-phase separator and controls

The two-phase separator V 180 is under level control (Level control LC 213). In case of high high liquid level, the level switch LSHH 214 would close emergency shutdown valve ESDV 172 and shutdown compressor C 130 downstream of V 180. This is to prevent carrying liquid over to the compressor leading to compressor damage. During the HAZOP study, the following hazardous scenario is identified: Node:

Two-phase separator V 180

Deviation:

High Level

Cause:

Level control loop 213 failure

Consequence:

Potential for liquid carry-over to the compressor, C 130 leading to compressor damage, possible disintegration and potential for fire and personnel injury

Safeguards:

Level switch LSHH 214 interlocks to alarm LAHH 214 and closes ESDV 172 and shuts down compressor C 130 downstream of V 180

Assuming it is selected for further analysis, it would look like this in LOPA: Initiating Event:

Level control loop 213 failure

Enabling Events:

LCV 213 trends to closure thus leading to accumulation of liquid in the vessel

Conditional Modifiers:

In the event of loss of containment due to compressor destruction or severe damage, the following need to be evaluated as conditional modifiers: • • •

In other words, the scenario goes like this: The level controller LC 213 fails AND this leads to failure of LCV 213 in such a way that it won't allow sufficient flow out of the separator AND SIS (Level switch LSHH 214 interlocks to alarm LAHH 214 and closes ESDV 172 and shuts down compressor C 130 downstream of V 180) fails to act correctly RESULTING IN carry-over of liquid to the compressor LEADING TO potential injury/fatalities. Once the scenario is built, the major questions are: • • •

What is the likelihood of this undesired event? What is the risk associated with this scenario? Are there sufficient risk mitigation measures?

In order to answer the above questions, numerical values need to be assigned to the scenario components. shows what numerical values are required for the scenarios components. In order to evaluate the adequacy of risk mitigation measures, the risk tolerance criteria need to be established. The criteria are usually based on benchmark values from industry data, company history and/or statistical data.

Figure 2-4: Components in a LOPA scenario and the required numerical inputs

For scenarios in which the initiating event frequency is less than twice the test frequency for an IPL i.e. "low demand mode", the frequency (likelihood) for the undesired consequence is calculated by the following equation (CCPS, 2001).

Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Methodology Standards

There are two standards pertinent to the concept of safety integrity levels: • •

IEC 61508 Functional safety of electrical / electronic / programmable electronic safety-related systems. ANSI/ISA S84.01 (IEC 61511) Functional safety - Safety Instrumented Systems For The Process Industry Sector.

IEC 61508 and 61511 require that SIL values be assigned to the safety instrumented functions (SIF) of the safety instrumented systems (SIS) for processes, that have insufficient mitigation from the potential hazards. A SIF is a "safety function with a specified SIL necessary to achieve functional safety. It can be either a safety instrumented protection function or a safety instrumented control function. A SIS is an "instrumented system that is used to implement one or more SIFs. It is composed of any combination of sensors, logic solvers, and final elements." SIS is devoted to responding to an emergency situation. It consists of instrumentation for emergency shutdown and thus brings the process to a safe state in the event of an upset. Examples include: •

•

•

High high level of liquid (LPG) in a knockout drum, which initiates shutdown of emergency shutdown (ESD) inlet feed valve. This protects against liquid carry-over from entering a compressor suction line, which could result in compressor damage/disintegration and subsequent personnel hazards. Another example could be closure of a vessel bottom outlet ESD valve to protect against a loss of containment situation on downstream piping/ equipment, which could also lead to loss of containment/fire hazards. Instrumented emergency shutdown systems including flammable gas, toxic gas and fire protection systems.

This section discusses the following topics: What is SIL? on page 50. Steps in a typical SIL Study on page 51. Methods of Target SIL Assignment on page 51. Risk Graph Method on page 52. Safety Layer Matrix Method on page 55. Conducting the SIL Study on page 56. SIL Verification on page 57. What is SIL?

There are four levels of SIL. SIL 1 represents the lowest and SIL 4 represents the highest level of safety integrity. SIL is a measure of reliability of the respective SIS.

The following table provides SIL correlations with availability and PFD: SIL

90.00 - 99.00%

10-2 to 10-1

100 to 10

The terms 'SIL' and 'availability' represent the integrity of the SIS when a process demand occurs. Consider that a particular SIF is assigned a value of SIL 1, as an example. Assigning SIL 1 means that the level of risk is considered to be sufficiently low and the SIF with a 10% chance of failure (90% availability) is acceptable. The availability of 90% would mean that there would be one statistical failure of that SIF out of every 10 demands for that function. If this risk is not acceptable, the SIL may need to be raised to a level 2 or level 3. In other words it might be more prudent to have a SIL corresponding to one failure in 100, 1000, 10000, or more demands, if it can be justified. Steps in a typical SIL Study

A typical SIL study consists of the following steps: Step

Action

1.

Identify the SIFs using previous PHA studies (HAZOP’s, What If Analyses, etc.).

2.

Assign target SIL’s to the SIFs using one of the many methods:

3.

• •

Risk Graph. Layered Risk Matrix.

•

Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA).

Verify the performance of the SIS with reference to the established target SIL’s. Note: SIS is only one of the protective layers. It is important to make a comprehensive assessment of the other layers of protection.

As per 61511, SIL estimation also takes into account the other layers of protection (PL) in the process. SIL’s are calculated for the SIF, which may include one or more protection layers and maybe dependent or independent of one another. Clearly, greater protection is afforded when the PL’s are totally independent as opposed to dependent protection layers identified for a particular SIF. Methods of Target SIL Assignment

Various methodologies are available for assignment of SIL’s. As in the case with PHA studies, this must involve people with the relevant expertise. The Risk Graph and the Layered Risk Matrix discussed below are the most common methods used to determine the target SIL. The Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) methodology could also be used to assign SIL’s. SIL’s assigned to SIFs in this

manner represent the target (for existing or new systems) for the level of performance required to provide a certain level of reliability. Risk Graph Method

61511 recognizes the value of considering multiple protection layers. Typically, this can be reflected by the application of say the Risk Graph technique combined with the different protection layers to modify the actual SIL requirements. These other layers may offer sufficient overall protection. A SIL in the risk graph is determined based on four factors as shown in the following tables and figure. The following table is from Risk Graph Parameters, IEC 61512-3,2003, Annex D, p.34: Parameter

Consequence

Occupancy

Probability of avoiding the hazard

Demand rate

Description

C

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 into account the vulnerability to the hazardous event.

F

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 into 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).

P

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.

W

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.

The following table is the calibration of Risk Graph, taken from IEC 61512-3, 2003, Annex D, pp. 37-38 Risk parameter Consequence (C) Number of fatalities. This can be calculated by determining the numbers of people present when the area exposed to the hazard is occupied and multiplying by the vulnerability to the identified hazard.The vulnerability is determined by the nature of the hazard being protected against. The following factors can be used:

Classification

Comments

CB

Minor injury

1.

CC

Range 0.01 to 0.1

CD CA

Range > 0.1 to 1.0 Range > 1.0 2.

The classification system has been developed to deal with injury and death to people. For the interpretation of CA, CB, CC and CD, the consequences of the accident and normal healing should be taken into account.

V = 0.01 Small release of flammable or toxic material V = 0.1 Large release of flammable or toxic material V = 0.5 As above but also a high probability of catching fire or highly toxic material. V = 1 Rupture or explosion Occupancy (F)

FA

This is calculated by determining the proportional length of time the area exposed to the hazard is occupied during a normal working period.

FB

Note: If the time in the hazardous area is different depending on the shift being operated then the maximum should be selected.

Rare to more frequent exposure in the hazardous zone. Occupancy less than 0.1

3.

See comment 1 above.

Frequent to permanent exposure in the hazardous zone.

Note: It is only appropriate to use FA where it can be shown that the demand rate is random and not related to when occupancy could be higher than normal. The latter is usually the case with demands which occur at equipment start-up or during the investigation of abnormalities.

Comments

Adopted if all conditions in column 4 are satisfied.

4.

PA should only be selected if all the following are true:

•

Facilities are provided to alert the operator that the SIS has failed; Independent facilities are provided to shut down such that the hazard can be avoided or which enable all persons to escape to a safe area; The time between the operator being alerted and a hazardous event occurring exceeds 1 hour or is definitely sufficient for the necessary actions.

Adopted if all the conditions are not satisfied.

•

•

Demand rate (W)

W1

The number of times per year that the hazardous event would occur in absence of SIF under consideration.

W2 W3

To determine the demand rate it is necessary to consider all sources of failure that can lead to one hazardous event. In determining the demand rate, limited credit can be allowed for control system performance and intervention. The performance which can be claimed if the control system is not to be designed and maintained according to IEC 61511, is limited to below the performance ranges associated with SIL 1.

April 2, 2013

Demand rate < 0.1D per year 0.1D < Demand rate < D per year D < Demand rate < 10D per year For demand rates higher than 10D per year, higher integrity shall be needed.

5.

The purpose of the W factor is to estimate the frequency of the hazard taking place without the addition of the SIS. If the demand rate is very high, the SIL has to be determined by another method or the risk graph recalibrated. It should be noted that risk graph methods may not be the best approach in the case of applications operating in continuous mode, see 3.2.43.2 of IEC 61512-1. D is a calibration factor, the value of which should be determined so that the risk graph results in a level of residual risk which is tolerable taking into consideration other risks to exposed persons and corporate criteria.

Note: This is an example to illustrate the application of the principles for the design of risk graphs. Risk graphs for particular applications and particular hazards will need to be agreed with those involved, taking into account tolerable risk, see D.1 to D.6.

Figure 2-6: Risk Graph, taken from IEC 61512-3, Annex D, p.37

illustrates how the four parameters (C, F, P, and W) generate the target SIL values in the table, as follows. As per 61511, assume that no SIS exist, even though non-SIS may be in place for the process.

Figure 2-7: SIL Estimation Using Risk Graph Method in the SIL Study Risk Graph Template found in PHA-Pro.

Safety Layer Matrix Method

An example of the Safety Layer Matrix (Layered Risk Matrix) is given below. The target SIL is assigned on the basis of the risk ranking value and the number of PL’s for that scenario. A difference of the risk ranking and the PL’s is correlated with SIL values. This approach consists of matrices for each of Personnel, Operations, and Ecological factors, that are integrated with the HAZOP study and incorporates PL’s. The highest of the three SIL values is selected. According to 61511, the required SIL values are matched with a combination of the frequency and severity of impact of the hazardous events. See the tables and figure below.

Conducting the SIL Study

The first step for assignment of target SIL’s is to use the (updated) PHA’s or conduct new PHA’s to screen for the potential hazards. HAZOP is the most commonly used method. If the risk is unacceptable then it is preferable to reduce

it to an acceptable level using non-SIS and SIS elements. However, SIS’s are considered only after all the non-SIS protection layers have been considered. HAZOP’s identify the potential hazards, using risk matrices in terms of the likelihood and the severity of the hazards. Required SIL’s are assigned to SIFs identified in the PHA studies. According to 61511, the BPCS, relief systems, and other layers of protection may be defined as safety functions for SIL analysis. A SIS may contain one or more SIFs. Or, a SIF may be achieved by more than one SIS. The BPCS is not credited for a SIF with a greater than SIL 1, as per 61511. SIL Verification

Typically, it is practicable to study only the critical safety functions for a SIL study as there are usually too many safety functions and only those that are deemed important can be considered. The established SIL’s (from previous steps) are now used as measures for verification purposes when complying with 61511. SIL verifications may require full quantitative assessments (using fault tree analysis FTA, failure rates, reliability linked diagrams, etc.) to check if the performance of the SIS exemplified by the overall ESD system indeed meets the established target SIL values based on unit wide overall scenarios (e.g., fire, toxic release etc.) A simple example of one shutdown sequence consisting of detectors, logic solver, and final elements is given below. Logic solvers are considered very highly reliable, thus may not be a part of the failure rate calculation per se.

The Administration Collection To display the Administration collection, click the Administration tab near the top of your screen. You can then click any of the icons along the left side of the collection to work with the corresponding data page. One data page within the Administration collection allows you to record details about your facility and workplace risk assessment study. The third page within the collection lets you record the names of your team members, along with their contact information. The fourth page makes it possible to specify the date, duration and focus of each session that your team conducts. There is also a page for tracking attendance, and a page lets you keep a list of the drawings that pertain to your product. A final page allows you to record information on the study’s revalidation history. You can fully customize the Administration collection to meet your documentation needs. In the HAZOP template, there are six pages by default, but other pages can be added if you want to record additional types of administrative information. For more information, see Sheets on page 294. Once you record details about your workplace risk assessment, study sessions, and team members, you can generate reports containing this administrative information. These reports are often useful as cover sheets for other types of reports, and they help you to effectively communicate with management about the status of your Process Hazards Analysis. For more information on reports, see Chapter 8: Printing and Exporting on page 196. Note: The Administration collection described in this chapter is based on the HAZOP template. The pages in the Administration collection vary, depending on the template used.

Documenting Nodes Before you and your colleagues can perform a Process Hazards Analysis of a product, your team must first identify all of the nodes that you might be examining. In HAZOP, a node is one or more items of equipment as a focal point of study. It may be as small as a line, a pump, a vessel or a heat exchanger, or it may be a compound node such as Line + Pump + Heat Exchanger, or it may be as large as the entire processing plant. Thus not only the selection of nodes, but also the size of nodes is of critical importance. For example, a fictional HAZOP study might contain the following nodes: • • • • • • Description of the Node Sheet

Feed lines 2”-P-101 & 102. Overhead line 8”-P-103. Reflux line 2”-P-109, 110 & 108. Bottoms pump(s) P-102 & S Feed/Bottoms Exchanger EX-101. Reboiler recirculation lines 4”-P-112 and 6”-P-113.

You record your list of nodes, along with information about each node, in the Nodes sheet of PHA-Pro ( ). This sheet includes the following columns of information: • • •

• • • • • •

Nodes – the name that you have assigned to each node, such as in the above list. Type - the type of equipment that each item is, such as a line, column or heat exchanger. Design Conditions/Parameters - the conditions under which each equipment item should operate, if applicable, such as temperature, flow rate and pressure. Drawings - the names or identification codes of drawings that pertain to each node. Equipment ID – the identification number or code for each equipment item. Comment – additional information about each node that will be useful to people reviewing your file. Date – the session in which each node was analyzed. Rev. # – the revision number of each equipment item. Revision Date – the date on which your company last revised each equipment item. Note: This chapter is based on the HAZOP Template. If you use other templates, the naming conventions may vary

Identifying Deviations for Each Node Once your workplace risk assessment team has used the Nodes sheet to document all the nodes you want to analyze in this study, you must then perform a similar analysis to look at the possible deviations within each node. Description of the Deviations Sheet

The sample HAZOP study introduced earlier in this chapter consists of six nodes. The HAZOP study group might decide that the node called “Feed lines 2”-P-101 & 102” could be affected by these deviations: • • • • • •

High Pressure. High Temperature. High Flow. Low Pressure. Low Temperature. Low/No Flow.

Your group then repeats this procedure to create lists of deviations for each of the other five nodes. All six lists are recorded in the Deviations sheet of PHA-Pro, along with other information about each deviation. ( ) The Deviations sheet includes the following columns of information: • • • • • • • •

Deviations – the name of each deviation that your group has identified, such as in the above list, by applying a guide word to a process parameter. Guide Word – the guide word that pertains to the corresponding deviation. Parameter – the process parameter that pertains to the corresponding deviation. Design Intent – the specific purpose of each equipment item. Comment – additional information about each deviation that will be useful to people reviewing your file. Date – the session in which each deviation was analyzed. Rev. # – the revision number of each equipment item. Revision Date - the date on which your company last revised each equipment item.

Managing Recommendations The process of proposing recommendations specifically designed to address the hazards identified by your team is an integral part of a Process Hazards Analysis. The sophisticated recommendation management features of PHA-Pro allow you to record and then track the progress of all recommendations compiled by your study group. You can assess the priority of each recommendation, assign a specific person to be responsible for carrying out changes, set start and end dates, and do much more. PHA-Pro allows you to record recommendation-related data in both the Worksheet and Recommendations sheets. The Worksheet helps you to manage recommendations because it displays all of your failure mode data on your screen at the same time as your team is proposing ideas. You can record suggestions in the same row as the corresponding failure mode, thereby clearly showing the relationship between the problem and the solution. The Recommendations sheet provides a master list of all your team’s recommendations without the related hazard data. ( ) For many study teams, being able to print, distribute and act upon this recommendation list is the most important outcome of a PHA. The Worksheet and Recommendations sheets are linked to each other, so when you enter data in one sheet, the same data appears in the corresponding cell of the other sheet. You never have to enter the same data twice. Tip: It is Best Practice, and highly advised that you enter the Recommendations in the Worksheet first.

Working With Dates PHA-Pro’s pop-up calendars help you to record days, months and years. You can also change the format of the dates in your PHA study. Tip: You can use the formula field to calculate the number of days between dates or adding or subtracting a set number of days from a date to give a new date. For example, if you wanted to automatically calculate the number of days difference between the estimated and actual end date, you could create a formula that subtracts the estimated date from the actual date. The result of this calculation would be the number of days that the actual date was after the estimated end date. For example, if the actual end date is five days after the estimated end date, in the formula field you would enter

EstimatedEndDate+5 You must enter the EstimatedEndDate using the Reference icon. For more information, see Adding a Formula Field on page 272.

When copying and pasting dates from MS Excel into PHA-Pro, the date formats must be the same. For example, if the date in Excel is 13-Sept-10, (dd-MMM-yy) you must select that format from the Format drop-down list on the Regional Setting page.

Working with Structured Lists Structured Lists allow you to depict a variable breakdown of systems or processes, rather than having fixed levels of parent-child tree as one would with the regular List item. For example, a system may have multiple sub-systems, but each subsystem may have varying levels of breakdown - Sub-System A is further divided to a Component level and then Item/Part level, while Sub-System B does not require further breakdown. The Structured List provides this flexibility. A structured list automatically numbers the data as: 1. 1.1 1.1.1 1.2 2. 2.1 2.1.1 2.2 Most of the functionality of a structured list - adding new data, markers and notes - works as it would in any normal list. However there are several features that work differently in a structured list. These features include cutting and pasting rows, moving rows up and down, drag and drop, and sorting. There are some new features as well - collapsing/expanding a parent, and indenting a level. This section discusses the following topics: Expanding and Collapsing a Sub List on page 124. Expanding and Collapsing the Entire Structured List on page 124. Adding Data to a Structured List on page 124. Changing the List Level of Data on page 124.

Adding Data to a Structured List

You add data to a structured list in the same manner as you would add data to any spreadsheet. When you add data to a structured list, it is added at the same level as the row above. You can increase or decrease the indent level of data using the tool bar. For more information, see Changing the List Level of Data on page 124.

Changing the List Level of Data

When you increase or decrease the indent level, you are moving data down or up a level by using the indent buttons. That is, the greater the indentation, the lower the level of information. When you change the indentation of data, it is renumbered as is all subsequent data rows. If you decrease the level of an item, all of its children’s levels are also decreased; conversely, if you increase the level of an item, all of its children’s levels are also increased. To change the list level of data: Step

Action

Working with Attached Files PHA-Pro allows you to insert other documents into your file. You can attach files that you have created either in PHA-Pro, or in other applications. This feature is useful during the course of a study because you can attach documents containing information that you need to frequently consult. Also, by attaching the file as opposed to a link, you provide a “snapshot” of the information that exists at the time. When you attach a file, you insert an identical copy of the file, not a link to it. As a result, you need not worry if the file is moved or deleted from its original location, or updated at a later date, or if you are working away from the office on a portable computer. You are able to open the attachment from within your PHAPro file. Note: Attached files increase the size of your PHA-Pro file. The amount of the increase depends on the type and size of the inserted file(s).

To open or print an attached file, an application that is compatible with the file must be installed on your computer system. This section discusses the following topics: Setting the File Attachment Filter on page 131. Attaching Files on page 132. Creating Thumbnails for Attached Image Files on page 132.

Chapter 6: Working with Libraries, Copy From and AutoType

CHAPTER 6: WORKING WITH LIBRARIES, COPY FROM AND AUTOTYPE Learning how to work with PHA-Pro libraries can facilitate your Process Hazards Analysis and save you valuable time. This chapter discusses the purpose of the libraries and shows you how to activate them. You will also learn how to create your own customized libraries and deactivate ones you no longer require. You will also learn how to transfer data from the libraries to your study by using the versatile Copy From and AutoType features.

Using Libraries in PHA-Pro PHA-Pro libraries are knowledge bases of data that you can copy into your files. The libraries help you to enter information on failure modes, potential causes and other types of information quickly and efficiently by allowing you to copy data from existing lists instead of having to recreate the data from scratch. The lists contained in the libraries help your workplace risk assessment team to brainstorm by suggesting ideas that should be considered. The most efficient users of PHAPro are the ones who know how to get the most out of libraries. The PHA-Pro libraries are installed to your computer system when you install the software. Before you can use the library, you must activate it. You can activate as many libraries as you want, and once you activate a library, it is available for use with all of your PHA-Pro files. When activating libraries, you can specify that you want to use your old workplace risk assessment studies as libraries. This allows you to reuse existing data, thereby reducing the times and costs associated with your current study. Under Active Libraries in the Workspace, the software displays the names of all applicable files in the default libraries folder, as well as all other libraries that are active. A check mark appears beside each library that is active and available for use. You can activate and deactivate libraries by selecting and deselecting boxes beside the libraries. This section discusses the following topics: Copying Data from Libraries on page 138. Activating Libraries on page 139. Activating Libraries Using the Workspace on page 139. Adding an Activated Library Using the Workspace on page 140. Activating Old Studies as Libraries on page 140. Creating New Libraries from Scratch on page 140.

Project Settings Project Settings allows users to access to the database management settings of PHA-Pro. It provides the setting for template administrators to customize their templates or to create a new template from scratch. Project Settings is broken into two panes. The left pane is the Project Settings menu and is broken into five sections, while the right hand pane provides a series of tabs containing customization options for the individual page or sheet. When you click on one of the menu bars, the section opens and becomes active. An Add and Remove button appear on the menu bar. These buttons allow you to add or remove pages or sheets to that section. Note: There some mandatory files and sheets in the Hierarchy and Sheets sections that cannot be removed. The Remove button is inactive when these items are selected.

Figure 11-1: Project Settings contains 2 panes. The left hand pane is a menu that allows you access to the various sections. The right hand pane provides information on the individual field, page or sheet in the section.

The Hierarchy The Hierarchy defines the interrelationships of your data in the report. Using this feature and the Sheets feature, you can create your own customized template for your studies. If you look at the Hierarchy you will notice that Risk Systems, Codes and Categories, and Markers are the first three folders found in the Hierarchy. The information in these folders and in the appropriate sections are the same. The information in these three sections can be updated in either their own section or the Hierarchy. Data Field Icons used in the Hierarchy

There are 12 data types as shown below. The first three types are used for inputting data; the rest are used to manage the input data. The data fields are represented by a number of icons: Icon

Definition Text Field - used for entering text and all symbols in the field. Date Field - used for entering dates in the field using the pop-up calendar only. Number Field - used for entering numbers that can be used in Formulas or Calculations in the field . List - used for creating rows in a worksheet. Structure List - used to depict a variable breakdown of systems or processes, rather than having fixed levels of parent-child tree as one would with the regular List item. Reference - used for creating a one to one correspondence between tables. List of References - used for creating a many to one correspondence between tables. Dependency Matrix - used to compare two or more lists. Lookup in Matrix - used to help you to locate the intersection of x and y points, for example severity and likelihood, in a 2D matrix. Simple Calculation - used for calculating the sum or product of two or three number fields. Formula - used for creating formulas to help analyze your data. These formulas can include statistical, math and trig, and logical functions. Group - has basically the same function as List, but you can only create one instance of a group on a page.

Furthermore, data in PHA-Pro is organized and displayed in a parent and children relationship. The data is either a one-to-one or a one-to-many relationship. In the example shown below, Nodes is the parent, and Node, Equipment ID, Revision #,

Limitations When Working With Hierarchy Items When you add, move or rename hierarchy items, you must ensure that the item’s name is unique for that list. In other words, you cannot have two fields with the same name under the same parent at the same level. You can, however, have fields with the same name as children of different list fields. If you have hierarchy items with the same name in the same list, you encouter problems when using the update template or compare documents functions.

Adding Items to the Hierarchy You can add new data fields, or other items to the Hierarchy. Once you have added new fields to your hierarchy, you can display them as headers, data fields or columns in your templates. Note: When you add children - sub-lists and data fields - to a list, all names for that list must be unique. In other words, you cannot have two fields with the same name under the same parent at the same level. You can, however, have fields with the same name as children of different list fields.

The Structure List item allows users to depict a variable breakdown of systems or processes, rather than having fixed levels of parent-child tree as one would with the regular List item. For example, a system may have multiple sub-systems, but each sub-system may have varying levels of breakdown - Sub-System A is further divided to a Component level and then Item/Part level, while Sub-System B does not require further breakdown. The Structure List provides this flexibility. Note: The Structure List field can only be used at the Top level of the hierarchy. In other words, it can only be located in the root folder “Study”. Note: You cannot use a List of References as the first level of the list.

There are several formulas that you can add to a structured list. For more information, see Adding Formulas to Structure Lists on page 281.

Adding a Dependency Matrix

To expand the list of options for the input value, select the Show More options check box.

Click Finish.

Frequently decision making in risk assessments is based on two or more conditions being met. The dependency matrix helps you to compare two or more lists. When you have 2 lists, one list is represented by a row across the top of the sheet and the other a column at the left of a sheet. The intersection of the row and column is the matrix selection that correlates adjoining X and Y values. When used in conjunction with conditional data mirroring, Stature can automatically enter data elsewhere in the study, depending on the entry in the matrix. Note: Currently, conditional data mirroring is only supported for dependency matrices.

You would find the dependency matrices and conditional data mirroring useful in the following circumstances: • • • •

In a HAZOP, based on the severity ranking, the associated cause and consequence pair are qualified for LOPA analysis. The QFD I/II/III process of APQP methodology would be easier if qualified data automatically cascaded from QFD I to II and then to III. In a regular Process-FMEA, it would be useful to have data automatically generated and sent to the Control Plan. It would be easier to join the FMEAs and other quality specifications to the Requirements Matrix if data was automatically qualified and mirrored based on weighted scores and importance of the requirements.

15.

Click Finish.

PHA-Pro’s formula creation tools make it easy to define new formulas. Tip: You can use the formula field to calculate the number of days between dates or adding or subtracting a set number of days from a date to give a new date. For example, if you wanted to automatically calculate the number of days difference between the estimated and actual end date, you could create a formula that subtracts the estimated date from the actual date. The result of this calculation would be the number of days that the actual date was after the estimated end date.

When you are creating your formulas, you can reference not only data in your study but also markers and notes, as well as the information in the markers and notes. For example, if you are revalidating a study, you can select only the data that has not been revalidated by creating a formula that references the validation

markers. Another use of markers would be to mark information that you want to import into your libraries. You could then select only flagged data, and then import the data into your library. Tip: The formula for selecting data that is marked with a marker is:

IF COUNT( Marker ) > 0 THEN TRUE ELSE FALSE ENDIF. • • • •

The first section of the formula, IF COUNT( Marker ) > 0, checks to see if the marker is present in the data field. The next section, THEN TRUE, sets the logical condition if the conditions are met. The third section, ELSE FALSE, sets the logical condition if the conditions are not met, i.e. the marker is not present. The last section, ENDIF, closes the formula.

Adding Clipbooks To Text Fields


A clipbook is a localized list that is attached to a specific hierarchy text field. When you select the local clipbook option in AutoType or CopyFrom, the information from the clipbook is displayed. Tip: We suggest that you add your clipbooks to your template files rather than individual studies. This allows all subsequent studies, that use the template, to access the clipbook.

To add a clipbook: Step 1.


2.

In the left hand pane, select the Text Field to which you want to add the clipbook.

3.

On the right hand pane, click Clipbook.

4.

In the first empty row, enter the first item of the list.

5.

Click the Enter key on the keyboard. A new row is added.

6.

Adding Global Names

Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all information is listed.

Global Names are an optional alternate name for a hierarchy item that is used primarily in conjunction with data mirroring or split function. For more information, see Splitting the Hierarchy on page 277 and Data Mirroring on page 287. This name describes the item fully within the study. This name is used on menus for Send To command of the data mirroring or split functions (if the template is set up to use this command). There may be different messages and prompts in the software where Global Name is used to identify an item. To add a global name: Step 1.


2.

In the left pane, click the hierarchy item for which you want to add keywords.

3.

In the right pane, click the Naming Convention tab. The Naming Convention tab opens.

4.

Adding Keywords

Enter the keyword(s) in the Global Name field.

Keywords are used in conjunction with Copy From and AutoType filters. You can use data in Copy From or AutoType from different columns in the worksheet by using the same Keyword in the hierarchy. Completing the Keywords field helps the software to identify the hierarchy item when you copy data between files and from libraries.

Replacing Text Fields with List Fields

As you work on your study, you may find that you need to have a list field instead of a text field. You can create a list field with the same name as your text field, and then dragging the existing text field into the list field. The text field is now a list field and no data has been lost. To change a data field into a list or sub-list: Step 1.


2.

Select the data field you want to replace with a list field.

3.

Click Add on the Hierarchy Bar. Or Right-click the field and select Add from the drop down-menu. The New Hierarchy Item - Type dialog box opens.

4.

Select List.

5.

Click Next. The New Hierarchy Item - Name dialog box opens.

6.

In the Name field, enter the same name as the data field.

7.

Click Next. The New Hierarchy Item - Numbering Style dialog box opens.

8.

Set the Numbering Style. For more information, see Setting Numbering Options for Lists on page 280.

9.

Click Finish. The list field is added below the text field.

10.

Click on the data field and drag it onto the list field.

PHA-Pro


Step 11.

Action Release the mouse button. The data field is now a subset of the list field. Note: The column has been added to the worksheet, but it is hidden. For information on displaying and formatting the column, see Customizing Columns on page 172.

Data Mirroring

Highlight and delete the Description field.

Data mirroring allows you to dynamically link different worksheets to avoid duplication of work. Unlike the Reference function, it allows you link the data selectively and ensures that your studies are updated when changes are made in the future. It is ideal for linking independent worksheets in your study. For example you might want to link the following sets of worksheets: • • •

Work Orders with Risk Analysis. BOM with Risk Analysis. HAZOP with LOPA.

When you add data mirroring to your study, you mirror one list field to another, and PHA-Pro automatically mirrors the data fields under the list. For example if you have three fields under each list, all three will be mirrored. If you have two fields under one list and three under the other, only the first two fields listed are mirrored. Note: In order to mirror data fields, you must first mirror the lists that the data fields belong to.

To help you to link the data selectively, you set the copy options. You can automatically add the data, have PHA-Pro ask for permission to copy the data, or not copy the data at all in a certain field. Fields can be mirrored to several other fields with different options for each field. To add data mirroring: Step 1.


2.

Select the hierarchy list field whose data that you want to mirror.

3.

In the right pane, click the Mirroring tab. The Mirroring page opens. (Figure 11-17)

4.

Click Add. The Add Mirroring dialog box opens.

5.

Select the list field to which you want to mirror the data. Note: If you are modifying the data mirroring for a different hierarchy item that is a child of the list field chosen in step 2, match the item type.

PHA-Pro


Step 6.

Action Click OK. The Add Mirroring dialog box closes, and the mirror data field(s) appear in the field(s) to mirror field.

7.

From the drop-down lists in the Options section, set the copy options. If the object in the hierarchy has children, you have four drop-down lists one Add and one Remove for each of the two fields. Select the appropriate option for each list. Note: When you set your options, PHA-Pro automatically sets the options in the mirrored field to match. For the two Add lists, your options are: •

Always Add - When data is entered in the other mirrored field, it is automatically added to this field. • Don’t Add - When data is entered in the other mirrored field, it is never added to this field. • Prompt - When data is entered in the other mirrored field, you must approve the addition of the data in this field. For the two Remove fields, your options are: •

Always Remove - When data is removed in one mirrored field, it is automatically removed from the other field. • Don’t Remove - When data is removed in one mirrored field, it is never removed from the other field. • Disable Remove - Data can be modified, but not removed from the field. • Prompt - When data is removed in the mirrored field, you must approve the removal of the data in this field. Note: The Disable Remove option only affects data that is mirrored. It does not affect un-mirrored data (rows with no corresponding row in the other list). If the object in the hierarchy does not have children, i.e. a data field and not a list field, you have two drop-down lists, one for each of the fields. Select the appropriate option for each field. Your options are: •

Always Modify - When data is modified in the mirrored field, it is automatically modified to this field. • Don’t Modify - When data is modified in the mirrored field, it is never modified to this field. • Disable Editing - Makes the text in that field read-only. • Prompt - When data is modified in the mirrored field, you must approve the modifications of the data in this field. Note: You can set different options in one end of the mirroring relationship and not the other, i.e. you can require prompts in one field and not the other. Note: The Disable Editing option only affects data that is mirrored. It does not affect un-mirrored data (rows with no corresponding row in the other list). It does not make the entire column read-only. Tip:

8.

If you select either the Disable Remove or Disable Editing, you can create a dialog box that informs the user that mirrored data in the column cannot be removed or edited, respectively. For more information, see Creating a Disable Remove or Disable Edit Dialog Box on page 291.

Tip:

When you select an option on this menu, an additional menu opens, allowing you to select a specific function, constant or operator.

Tip:

Into this workspace you can only type: • Numbers. • Mathematical operators (+, -, *, /, >, < and =).

Repeat steps 3 to 8 for each hierarchy item under the list field chosen in step 2 that you want to set mirroring conditions for.

You can mirror data between lists that are at different levels of the hierarchy. When you set up the mirroring, there is a second set of options that you need to set. Note: You cannot add mirrored data from one list to a list whose parent if empty. There must be data in the parent before you can add data to the child.

Studies, Revisions, and Baselines You can break your studies into revisions and baselines. The revisions and baselines allow you to track the changes that you make as you carry out your workplace risk assessments. Definition of Studies

Studies contain the data entered into PHA-Pro. When you create or import a study, you must attach it to a template. The template provides the structure to the study and its data. All studies can have multiple revisions and baselines.

Definition of Revisions

Revisions are the working versions of a study. When you create your study, you give it a revision name. Note: Only the latest revision of a study is editable.

Definition of Baselines

Baselines are read-only snapshots of a study taken at a certain point in time. They allow you to compare major versions of your study. When you create a baseline, the baseline is saved as a new file, with the file name being StudyNameBaselineName.pha.

Study, Revision and Baseline Names

When you create a study, you save it with the following name format: StudyName Note: The study name is not the file name.

PHA-Pro has a few naming conventions that are followed when revisions are created: • • •

All names can only consist of alphabetical characters or numbers. The StudyName can only be changed if you have approved the draft, or initial revision, and have not created a new revision or version of the study and The RevisionName can be anything. You can change the RevisionName of the latest revision only. When the Revision name is created, it is added to the end of the StudyName after an underscore:

StudyName_RevisionName

•

You can also add a Version Number to the revision name.

StudyName_RevisionName.VersionNumber Note: Version numbers must be between 0 and 99.

•

When the Baseline is created, the baseline name is added to the end of the study name after a hyphen:

StudyName-BaselineName Note: When you create and save the baseline, PHA-Pro creates a new file with the StudyName-BaselineName becoming the file name.

Let us look at the following example: AURORA.NORTHLANDS AURORA.NORTHLANDS_A.0

AURORA.NORTHLANDS_A.1 AURORA.NORTHLANDS-BASELINE_19-03-2008.PHA In the above example, the StudyName is AURORA.NORTHLANDS. When we created the study, we added A as the RevisionName and PHA-Pro automatically adds 0 as the version number. We changed the version number to 1. When we created the baseline, we added baseline name Baseline_19-03-2008, and PHA-Pro saves the baseline as a file called AURORA.NORTHLANDS-BASELINE_19-032008.PHA

Using Release Management As your team begins to record data in a new document, it is considered to be a draft version until it is approved. Until approval is given by an authorized member of your organization, the status bar at the bottom of your screen displays the word Draft. When you finish the first version of your document, you can approve it. In the status bar, the software displays Revision name.Version number (Approved). Over time, you may need to modify the information in the file. As you edit your data, the status bar indicates that a revision is in progress, such as Revision of Revision name.Version number. You can then approve the revision and number it as a major revision, such as Revision A.0, or a minor revision, such as Revision A.1. This section discusses the following topics: Re-Login Security Feature on page 313. Approving a Draft on page 314. Creating a Revision (Version) on page 314. Modifying a Revision on page 315. Renaming a Study on page 316. Renaming a Revision on page 316. Creating a Baseline on page 317. Re-Login Security Feature

When you set up user access, you have the option of setting additional security features for Release Management. When you apply Access Rights with either the Password Protection or the Windows User/Group option, PHA-Pro, by default, requires that the user must re-enter their password before carrying out one of the following activities: Note: If the role is Password protected, the user must enter the role’s password; if the role is Window User/Group protected, the user must enter his Windows password.

Checking Your Data PHA-Pro’s Data Check helps to identify potential problems with the data in your files so you can resolve these issues quickly and efficiently. The data checker informs you of missing information, duplicate entries and invalid dates, and lets you use formulas to test your data. Data Check is fully customizable, allowing you to decide which data elements you want PHA-Pro to examine and which types of issues you want PHA-Pro to report. You can instruct PHA-Pro to check your recommendations to ensure that each and every one is referenced somewhere, or you could check that estimated completion dates fall within an acceptable period of time. It is advisable to perform a Data Check before you print and distribute your workplace risk assessment. A quick examination of the results can help you to fill in missing information and correct data entry errors. Before you can perform a Data Check, you must set up one or more tests within. This involves identifying which elements of your study you want to check, as well as the types of checks you want to perform. When you run the Data Check, it completes only the tests that you have defined for the current file. This section discusses the following topics: Defining New Data Check Tests on page 324.

Types of Document Protection There are three types of Document Protection: • • •

Read-Only – allows users to view, but not edit, the data contained in a protected file. Password Management – prompts users to enter a password when they try to open a protected file. Access Rights – gives users the ability to perform only the tasks for which they have permission, as defined by their access rights. Tip: The password feature does not encrypt the data in a file. It is intended to be used only as a management tool – not to protect sensitive data. Tip: If a password is forgotten, data loss and project delays may result. You should make a note of any password along with the name of the corresponding file, and keep this information in a safe place that is accessible by at least two authorized team members. Note: Passwords are case-sensitive. When you write down a password, make sure to clearly indicate whether letters are upper-case or lower-case.

Using Read-Only Access Read-Only Access protects a PHA-Pro file by preventing users from modifying its contents. Users can review data, but they do not have editing permissions. This feature is handy if a file is open during a work session and you want to ensure that other users using the file do not accidentally modify it. Using read-only access can also be useful if you have several files open and you want to make certain that you do not accidentally change the wrong one. Read-only access cannot be saved as part of a file. As a result, you must enable read-only access each time you open the file. This section discusses the following topics: Enabling Read-Only Access on page 330. Removing Read-Only Access on page 330. Enabling Read-Only Access

To enable Read-Only Access: Step 1.

Action Go to Tools>Protection. The Protection drop-down menu opens.

2.

Click Read-Only. A dialog box opens, asking you to confirm your decision to disable editing for the file.

3.

Click Yes. If you have edited the file since opening it, another dialog box opens, which asks you if you want to save the changes before the software activates read-only mode.

4.

Click Yes to save your changes, or click No to discard your changes. If you have edited the file since opening it, an additional dialog box opens, asking you whether you want the software to discard the lists of editing changes contained within the Undo and Redo features. Deleting the lists ensures that users cannot cancel and repeat these actions.

5.

Click Yes to erase the Undo and Redo lists, or click No to leave the lists in place.

Note: This change is only temporary. Editing permissions are restored each time you close the file, or remove the read-only access.

Using Password Management Password Management limits access to your files through the use of passwords. Users cannot open and modify a file unless they enter a password. You can also apply the password to a template, so that it applies to all studies that use the template. After you assign a password and save the file, the Enter Document Password dialog box opens when users try to open it. The dialog box prompts the user to enter the password. An error message appears if an incorrect password is entered. When you turn on Password Management, two access options are available. They define what happens if users click Cancel in the Enter Document Password dialog box while trying to open the protected file. These options are: • •

The default option denies access without the password, and users cannot open the file. The second option is Allow read-only access if password is not entered. This allows users to open the file, but the file opens in read-only mode.

This section discusses the following topics: Assigning a Password and Selecting Options on page 332. Changing the Password and Options on page 333. Removing Password Management on page 333. Assigning a Password and Selecting Options

Protecting Studies with Access Rights The Access Rights feature provides greater security than the Password Management feature. With Password Management, users who enter the correct password have unlimited freedom to edit its contents. With Access Rights, you can create a different roles profile for each group of users that are working with the file and place restrictions on the tasks that the group’s members can perform. Tip: You can also apply the access rights to a template, so that they apply to all studies that use the template.

Access Rights can use automatic access, passwords, and Windows Authentication for identifying roles. After you turn on Access Rights and save the file, when someone tries to open the file: •

•

If access is granted based on Windows Authentication, i.e. the Windows Users/ Groups authentication method, then users are not prompted to select a role when they open the document. Instead, users are logged in automatically, using the first allowed role, based on the order of roles in the Roles list. If access is granted based on the Password or No Authentication methods, the Document Role dialog box appears only if the Authentication Method selected is Password.

Once you activate Access Rights, only users who have been assigned Modify Access Rights and Roles can open the Access Rights Management dialog box; for all other users, access to the dialog box is blocked. This section discusses the following topics: Types of Authentication Methods on page 335. Defining Role Profiles on page 335. Changing the Order of Roles on page 336.

Types of Authentication Methods


PHA-Pro has three different authentication methods for Access Rights: • • •

Defining Role Profiles

Password. Members of a role are given a password to access the study or template. Windows Users/Groups. Specific Windows users and/or groups are selected from your company’s Windows directory. No Authentication. Users do not have to log in, but their access can be limited to specific areas of the study or template.

The Access Rights feature allows you to protect a PHA-Pro study by controlling the types of tasks that each user or group of users can perform. Activate this feature by setting up one or more roles, which are sets of permissions that provide different degrees of access to different users. Each role has its own Authentication Method. Note: The first role you set up must have administrator rights, the Modify Access Rights and Profiles permission. After you have created the administrator role, you can add other roles.

To turn on Access Rights by defining new roles: Step 1.


2.

Click Access Rights. The Access Rights Management dialog box opens. Note: You must have the proper permission to open the Access Rights Management dialog box.

3.

Click Add. The New Roles dialog box opens.

4.

In the Name field, enter the name for the group of users that have the same access permissions, such as “FMEA Team”, or an individual name. Note: For individuals, the log in name should be exactly the same as the name used to approve drafts or revisions, revise documents or roll back changes.

Chapter 14: Advanced Exporting Features

CHAPTER 14: ADVANCED EXPORTING FEATURES PHA-Pro offers two advanced exporting features which require some programming knowledge - batch file export and XML export/import features. In this appendix you will learn how to create the necessary scripts to carry out the functions. This section discusses the following topics: Exporting Data Using Batch Files on page 344. Using the XML Import/Export Function on page 348. Exporting/Importing XML Data Using Batch Files on page 362.

April 2, 2013

343

PHA-Pro


Exporting Data Using Batch Files PHA-Pro allows you to create a batch file to export data from your files. This requires that you create both a text file that contains the script and a batch file to run the script. You can export your data in multiple formats at the same time as well as from multiple studies. You can also use this feature to export and import XML files as well. For more information, see Exporting/Importing XML Data Using Batch Files on page 362. This section discusses the following topics: Writing a Batchscript File on page 344. Sample Batchscript File on page 345. Writing the Batch File on page 345. Sample Batch File Script on page 346. Exporting the Data on page 346. Correcting Errors on page 346. Writing a Batchscript File

You write your script for the batchscript file and then save the script as a text file. To write a batchscript file: Step

Action

1.

Open the program that you use to write your script.

2.

Create the path to the file that you want to extract the data from. The command for the line is Open path= followed by the file name including the file path information in quotations. An example would be:

Open path="C:\Program Files\PHA-Pro 7\Sample Studies\Sample HAZOP.pha" As you can see in the above example, it has the required parameter "path". It could also have the optional parameters "username" and "password" if the document has user access. Note: You can only have one document open at a time. If you use the command a second time in the batchscript file, it closes the previous document first.

Step 3.

Action Create the export information. Note: Each set of export information is on its own line. Each line includes the following parameters: • • •

• •

A

Export path = This command provides the script with the name and type of the file including the file path. sheet = This command informs the script which sheet of data is to be exported. format = This command informs the script of the format the exported data takes. Export formats can include word, comma-delimited and tab-delimited. headings = This command informs the script if you want to include the headings for the information. layout = This optional command is useful when you are exporting data in a format that can be used in different ways. For example tab and comma-delimited formats can be used in either databases or spreadsheets. sample line of script would be:

Export path="C:\batchtest\process_comma1.txt" sheet="Nodes" format="comma" headings="true"

Sample Batchscript File

4.

Repeat step 3 for each export command for that file.

5.

Repeat steps 2 to 4 for each file from which you want to export data.

6.

Once you have completed the batchscript file, save as a text (*.txt) file.

A sample batchscript is: Export path="C:\batchtest\process_comma3.txt" sheet="Nodes" format="comma" headings="true" layout="spreadsheet" A batch export file could look like the following: Open path="C:\Program Files\PHA-Pro 7\Sample Studies\Sample HAZOP.pha" Export path="C:\batchtest\process_comma1.txt" sheet="Nodes" format="comma" headings="true" Export path="C:\batchtest\process_comma2.txt" sheet="Nodes" format="comma" headings="false" Export path="C:\batchtest\process_comma3.txt" sheet="Nodes" format="comma" headings="true" layout="spreadsheet" Export path="C:\batchtest\process_comma4.txt" sheet="Nodes" format="comma" headings="false" layout="database" Export path="C:\batchtest\process_tab1.txt" sheet="Nodes" format="tab" headings="true" Export path="C:\batchtest\process_tab2.txt" sheet="Nodes" format="tab" headings="false" Export path="C:\batchtest\process_tab3.txt" sheet="Nodes" format="tab" headings="true" layout="spreadsheet" Export path="C:\batchtest\process_tab4.txt" sheet="Nodes" format="tab" headings="false" layout="database" Export path="C:\batchtest\deviations.doc" sheet="Deviations" format="word" Open path="C:\Program Files\PHA-Pro 7\Sample Studies\LOPA Sample.pha" Export path="C:\batchtest\LOPA.doc" sheet="LOPA" format="word"

The above script exports data from two separate files into multiple files with different formats for the data. Writing the Batch File

Using the XML Import/Export Function Currently many companies and industries benefit from using XML primarily for exchanging data between back-end servers. However, XML has many other uses and benefits, which include: • • •

XML-enabled forms allow engineers to capture data in the field accurately and efficiently. XML documents facilitate workflow solutions and integration with the automation of business processes. XML data can be easily republished and disseminated via Web services to target most devices and formats.

The PHA-Pro’s XML data import/export feature also allows you to: • • •

Consolidate several studies into a large master file in PHA-Pro without having to copy and paste, minimizing lost information. Retrieve data directly into PHA-Pro, avoiding cut and paste from other electronic sources or typing from printed reports. Combine data from multiple applications.

Creating a Profile


Before you can import or export your data using XML, you must create a profile for that operation. When creating your XML profiles, you must remember that XML is case sensitive. The profile that is used to import the information has to match the profile that was used to export the information. Tip: When creating your XML import/export profiles, you should create and save them in your corporate template. This ensures that the correct profile is in all of your studies.

To create a profile: Step 1.

Action In Project Settings, click Hierarchy. The Hierarchy section opens.

2.

On the left hand side, click Study.

3.

On the right hand side, click the Import/Export tab. The Import/Export page opens.

8.

Click the Prolog tab.

9.

Enter the doctype in the Text to output at beginning of file (XML version, doctype, etc.): field. (Optional) Note: The default entry is:

Note: The doctype entry must match the doctype found at the beginning of the xml script of the files to be imported. Note: An XML document with no DOCTYPE declaration is not valid, but it can still be a legal XML document as long as it is well-formed. "Valid" is a technical term referring to the presence of and conformance to a DOCTYPE declaration 10.

Click OK. The new profile is created and the dialog box closes.

11.

Add the necessary elements or nodes. For more information, see Adding Elements on page 351, Adding Groups of Elements on page 352 and Adding Attributes on page 354.

Editing Elements


The ability to edit individual elements in your XML profile is especially important when using the Auto command. For example, you can turn off the import function of some elements allowing you to retain the original information. This would allow you to retain, for example, the current codes and categories or markers in one study, while allowing you to use the data from another. To edit an element: Step

Action

1.

Select the element you want to edit.

2.

Click Edit. The properties dialog box opens

3.

Edit the element.

4.

Click OK. The dialog box is closed and the element is edited.

Deleting Elements

The ability to delete individual elements in your XML profile is especially useful when using the Auto or Duplicate Profile commands. For example, you can copy a hierarchy and remove the few elements that you do not need, saving you time in creating the profile as well as retaining the nesting. To delete elements from a profile: Step

Action

1.

Select the element you want to delete.

2.

Click Remove. The element is deleted.

Adding Attributes

XML elements can have attributes in the start tag, just like HTML. Attributes are used to provide additional information about elements. They are used to provide information that is not a part of the data. For example, you can create attributes that are IDs for records. These IDs can help identify information if it is being imported back into the document after being modified. To add an attribute: Step

Action

1.

From the Profile drop-down list, select the profile to which you want to add the attribute.

2.

Click the element that you want to add the attribute to in the XML Elements field.

Filtering Your XML Export Data

You can filter your xml export data by adding a formula that sets conditions on the data in an element. For example, you can create a filter that allows you to export only recommendations whose dollar value is over $5000 or those recommendations whose actual value exceeds the estimated value. You can also filter data by adding a formula that references markers in the data field. For example, if you are revalidating a study, you could export only the data that has not been revalidated by referencing the validation marker. Another use of referencing makers would be to flag information that you want to import into your libraries. You first export the flagged data, and then import the data into your library.

PHA-Pro


Tip: The formula for selecting data elements that are marked with a marker is:

IF COUNT( Marker ) > 0 THEN TRUE ELSE FALSE ENDIF. • • • •

The first section of the formula, IF COUNT( Marker ) > 0, checks to see if the marker is present in the data field. The next section, THEN TRUE, sets the logical condition if the conditions are met. The third section, ELSE FALSE, sets the logical condition if the conditions are not met, i.e. the marker is not present. The last section, ENDIF, closes the formula.

Tip: From the Export if formula result is drop-down list, select: • True - if you want to export the marked data. • False - if you want to export the unmarked data.

Preparing to Import an XML File

The import feature allows you to transfer data in XML from other spreadsheets, such as MS Excel, or databases into PHA-Pro. Before using the import function, you must review the file and either create a new profile, or make any necessary edits in an existing profile so that the structure in the file and in the profile match. Tip: When you create a profile in PHA-Pro, the software automatically names the root element, . You must change the name to the name of the root element in the import file. For more information, see Editing Elements on page 354.

To prepare to import an XML file: Step 1.

Action Open your XML file to get a list of all the fields in the file. Tip:

2.

3.

If there is a DTD for the file, use the DTD to obtain the element names instead of the file. All the necessary information is there in a condensed form.

Ensure that all the required fields are in your hierarchy. Tip:

Add the fields to your hierarchy if necessary. For more information, see Adding Items to the Hierarchy on page 262.

Tip:

Remember that XML is case sensitive. The field names have to be exactly the same as the XML element names.

If you are using an existing profile, ensure that all the required fields are in the profile and are properly nested. For more information, see Adding Elements on page 351, Adding Groups of Elements on page 352, Editing Elements on page 354 and Deleting Elements on page 354. Or If you are creating a new profile, ensure that you have added all the fields to the profile and that they are all properly nested. For more information, see Creating a Profile on page 349.

Exporting/Importing XML Data Using Batch Files You can also create a batch file for your XML export and import profiles. This allows you to export your XML data to, or to import XML data from, multiple files in one operation. Note: You cannot export information from multiple PHA-Pro files into one xml file, but you can import information from multiple XML files into one PHA-Pro file using the Batch command.

Before you can export or import XML files using batch files, you need to create: •

•

•

An XML profile in each PHA-Pro file. If you are importing the XML data, the profile in the XML must match the profile in the study into which the data is being imported. For more information, see Using the XML Import/Export Function on page 348. A batchscript file. You create the XML batchscript files in the same manner as you create the other batchscript files, with some slight variations. For more information, see Writing a Batchscript File on page 344, Exporting to XML on page 362, and Importing from XML on page 363. A batch file. For more information, see Sample Batch File Script on page 346.

This section discusses the following topics: Exporting to XML on page 362. Sample XML Export Batchscript File on page 363. Importing from XML on page 363. Save Command on page 363. Sample XML Import Batchscript File on page 363. Sample XML Combined Batchscript File on page 363. Exporting to XML

The batch file command to export to XML is called "EXPORT", i.e. it has same name as the old export command. The two uses of the command (export a sheet to Word/HTML/Text/DB vs. export to XML using a profile) are distinguished by whether the "sheet=" parameter is specified or the "profile=" parameter is specified. When using the EXPORT command to export to XML, the following parameters must be specified: profile="" path=""

The following parameters are NOT specified when exporting to XML (they only apply to sheet export): sheet, format, headers, headings, layout. Here is a sample command:

EXPORT profile="My XML Export Profile" path="c:\XML Documents\New XML File.xml" Note: You must have an open document (opened by the OPEN command) before using the EXPORT command.

Sample XML Export Batchscript File

Here is an example of a batch file using the EXPORT command:

Importing from XML

The command to import from XML is called "IMPORT".

OPEN path="C:\My PHA-Pro Documents\Study 1.pha" EXPORT profile="Recommendations" path="C:\XML Files\Study 1 Recommendations.xml" OPEN path="C:\My PHA-Pro Documents\Study 2.pha" EXPORT profile="Recommendations" path="C:\XML Files\Study 2 Recommendations.xml"

The following parameters must be specified: profile="" path=""

The following parameters are NOT specified when importing from XML: sheet, format, headers, headings, layout. Here is a sample command: IMPORT profile="My XML Export Profile" path="c:\XML Documents\New XML File.xml" Note: You must open the PHA-Pro file (opened by the OPEN command) that you are importing into before using the IMPORT command.

Save Command

The "SAVE" command allows you to save the results of IMPORT command. The only parameter it supports is "path". Here is a sample command: SAVE path="C:\My PHA-Pro Documents\New Study.pha" Note: You can SAVE the same study more than once (e.g. to different paths).

Sample XML Import Batchscript File

Here is an example of a batch file using the IMPORT command: OPEN path="C:\My PHA-Pro Templates\Master Recommendations List Template.pha" IMPORT profile="Recommendations" path="C:\XML Files\Study 1 Recommendations.xml" IMPORT profile="Recommendations" path="C:\XML Files\Study 2 Recommendations.xml" SAVE path="C:\My PHA-Pro Documents\Master Recommendations List.pha" Note: The file named in the SAVE command cannot be the same as the file in the OPEN command.

Sample XML Combined Batchscript File

You can create a batchscript file that exports data in XML format from several studies and combines them into one master study. When you create the profile, you should create IDs using the random 128 bit feature. For more information, see Adding Attributes on page 354.

Logical Functions Function

Description

Syntax

Returns TRUE if all of its arguments are TRUE

AND

OR

NOT

One common use for the AND function is to expand the usefulness of other functions that perform logical tests. For example, the IF function performs a logical test and then returns one value if the test evaluates to TRUE and another value if the test evaluates to FALSE. By using the AND function as the logical_test argument of the IF function, you can test many different conditions instead of just one. Returns TRUE if any argument is TRUE; returns FALSE if all arguments are FALSE. Reverses the value of its argument. Use NOT when you want to make sure a value is not equal to one particular value. If logical is FALSE, NOT returns TRUE; if logical is TRUE, NOT returns FALSE.

AND(logical1, [logical2], ...) logical1 (Required). The first condition that you want to test that can evaluate to either TRUE or FALSE. logical2, ... (Optional). Additional conditions that you want to test that can evaluate to either TRUE or FALSE.

OR(logical1,logical2,...) Logical1,logical2,... are conditions you want to test that can be either TRUE or FALSE.

NOT(logical) Logical is a value or expression that can be evaluated to TRUE or FALSE.

IF ... THEN ...ELSE

When executing a block If (second syntax), condition is tested. If condition is True, the statements following Then are executed. If the condition is false, the statements following Else are executed. After executing the statements following Then or Else, execution continues with the statement following EndIf.

IF condition THEN statements [ELSE elsestatements]

ENDIF

Closes a block of code that begins with an "if...then" statement.

IF ... THEN ... [ELSE ...] ENDIF

Function

Description

Syntax IF(logical_test, value_if_true, [value_if_false]) The IF function syntax has the following arguments (argument: A value that provides information to an action, an event, a method, a property, a function, or a procedure.): logical_test (Required). Any value or expression that can be evaluated to TRUE or FALSE. For example, A10=100 is a logical expression; if the value in cell A10 is equal to 100, the expression evaluates to TRUE. Otherwise, the expression evaluates to FALSE. This argument can use any comparison calculation operator.

IF(..., ..., ...)

The IF function returns one value if a condition you specify evaluates to TRUE, and another value if that condition evaluates to FALSE. For example, the formula =IF(A1>10,"Over 10","10 or less") returns "Over 10" if A1 is greater than 10, and "10 or less" if A1 is less than or equal to 10.

value_if_true (Required). The value that you want to be returned if the logical_test argument evaluates to TRUE. For example, if the value of this argument is the text string "Within budget" and the logical_test argument evaluates to TRUE, the IF function returns the text "Within budget." If logical_test evaluates to TRUE and the value_if_true argument is omitted (that is, there is only a comma following the logical_test argument), the IF function returns 0 (zero). To display the word TRUE, use the logical value TRUE for the value_if_true argument. value_if_false (Optional). The value that you want to be returned if the logical_test argument evaluates to FALSE. For example, if the value of this argument is the text string "Over budget" and the logical_test argument evaluates to FALSE, the IF function returns the text "Over budget." If logical_test evaluates to FALSE and the value_if_false argument is omitted, (that is, there is no comma following the value_if_true argument), the IF function returns the logical value FALSE. If logical_test evaluates to FALSE and the value of the value_if_false argument is omitted (that is, in the IF function, there is no comma following the value_if_true argument), the IF function returns the value 0 (zero).

2.

You should save the file as Blank Template first.

Delete all folders and sub folders until only the three default folders are left. Note: The Sheets still exist but are blank. This shows that the Hierarchy and Sheets under Project Settings are independent of each other. In other words, you create the hierarchy, but, you display the items of the hierarchy in sheets. Column Headings and Headers are displayed in Worksheets and Labels are displayed in Forms.

3.

Now go to Sheets.

4.

Delete all sheets. There should be only three folders in sheets and the yellow and green Settings and Data Check tabs in your file now.

Creating the Hierarchy General for qualitative risk analysis, you have a process or a system that is broken down into indentures. This allows it to be analyzed in manageable portions. The following diagram illustrates a typical breakdown tree.

Figure A-5: Breakdown Tree - this breaks the System down into Subsystems, Components and finally Items.

At the lowest level of the hierarchy, we would apply the Risk Technique (Scenarios, Causes, Consequences, Severity, Safeguards, Likelihood, Risk Ranking, Recommendations, etc.) Creating the Hierarchy

The steps here present the high level of adding items to the hierarchy. For a detailed procedure on adding items to the hierarchy, see Adding Items to the Hierarchy on page 262. Step

Action

1.

Select Study under Hierarchy.

2.

Right click and select Add from the drop-down menu. (Figure A-6) Or Click the Add on the Hierarchy bar. Note: When you need to be able to add new rows, such as in a worksheet, you will always use the "three blue striped" List item. On the other hand, when you just need a data field, e.g., "Company Name", "Address", etc. then use the "yellow folder" Group item.

3.

Select List item from the New Hierarchy Item list.

4.

Add List items and name them as follows: •

SYSTEMS. •SUBSYSTEMS. •SCENARIOS. •CAUSES. •CONSEQUENCES. •SAFEGUARDS. Note: List item has one default Text Field called Description. You can add more items under the List as required. For this exercise, use UPPER case for List name and Title case for column headings and data fields.

Global Name: This is an optional alternate name for a hierarchy item that is used primarily in conjunction with data mirroring or split function. For more information, see Splitting the Hierarchy on page 277 and Data Mirroring on page 287. This name describes the item fully within the study. For instance, if your study had two or more risk techniques in the same hierarchy, then you may have separate column headings that are similar - for example “causes”. You would have Causes A in one branch and Causes B in another branch. This name is used on menus for Send To command of the data mirroring or split functions (if the template is set up to use this command). There may be different messages and prompts in the software where Global Name is used to identify an item. Keywords: They are used in conjunction with Copy From and AutoType filters. You can use data in Copy From or AutoType from different columns in the worksheet by using the same Keyword in the hierarchy.

Rearranging the Sheets Once you have created and formatted your sheets, you want to place them in the order in which the sheets are to be used in the study. You do this by placing the sheets in descending order from start to finish. Once you have the correct order, you can group related sheets into a collection. All sheets that belong to a collection, appear on the same template tab. For example, you can create a collect.ion called Administration and add the Facility Information, Team Members and Documents sheets to it. When you do this, you create a tab called Administration that lists these sheets. The order, in which the sheets are listed in the collection in the sheets hierarchy, is the order that their icons are displayed on the left hand side of the tab. For more information, see Arranging the Sheets in a Collection on page 421. You do not have to group sheets together. You can leave them as independent sheets. Each independent sheet appears as a tab across the top of the template. The descending order of the sheets hierarchy is represented in a left to right order. This section discusses the following topics: Arranging the Sheets in a Collection on page 421. Renaming a Tab on page 423. Rearranging Tabs on page 424. Arranging the Sheets in a Collection

Tutorial B: Data Mirroring

TUTORIAL B: DATA MIRRORING Data mirroring allows you to dynamically link different worksheets to avoid duplication of work. Unlike the Reference function, it allows you link the data selectively and ensures that your studies are updated when changes are made in the future. It is ideal for linking independent worksheets in your study. For example you might want to link the following sets of worksheets: • • •

Work Orders with Risk Analysis. BOM with Risk Analysis. PFC with PFMEA and CP.

By working through this tutorial, and with the detailed step by step procedures elsewhere in the manual, you can set up data mirroring in your study. This section discusses the following topics: Adding Data Mirroring on page 428. Entering Information in the Data Mirrored Fields on page 432.

April 2, 2013

Adding Data Mirroring Data mirroring works when you have separate worksheets using separate, parallel structures in your hierarchy. The hierarchy in this tutorial has two similar, parallel hierarchical structures - Process and Process*. ( When you add data mirroring to your study, you mirror one list field to another, and PHA-Pro automatically mirrors the fields under the list. For example if you have three fields under each list, all three will be mirrored. If you have two fields under one list and three under the other, only the first two fields listed are mirrored.

Figure B-1: In the Hierarchy, the two parallel hierarchies are similar but not the same.

For this tutorial, you must first create a file call Data Mirror Sample File with the hierarchy shown in figure B-1. To add data mirroring to the study: Step

Action

1.

Open the Data Mirroring Sample file.

2.

Go to Project Settings.

3.

Creating a 3-D Bar Chart Creating a 3-D bar chart is more complicated than creating a 2-D chart because you have to create and enter a formula into the formula field. When you create your 3-D charts, you will find that the most common function that you use is Count, which is found under statistical/combining in the formula field. Often in creating the bar chart you are counting consequences of an event. In a 3D Bar chart, you set your risk parameters as your x- and y- axes. You set your data points for your formula, usually under consequences. This section discusses the following topics: Creating a 3-D Bar Chart on page 451. Formatting the Chart on page 459.

Tutorial D: Creating Dependency Matrices

TUTORIAL D: CREATING DEPENDENCY MATRICES In this tutorial, we are going to examine dependency matrices. We are going to make two versions of the same matrix, one uses manual data mirroring and the other uses conditional data mirroring. This section discusses the following topics: What are Dependency Matrices? on page 462. Dependency Matrices in PHA-Pro on page 463. Creating the Hierarchy on page 464. Creating a Simple Dependency Matrix on page 466. Creating a Cascading Dependency Matrix with Conditional Data Mirroring on page 476.

What are Dependency Matrices? Frequently decision making in risk assessments is based on two or more conditions being met. The dependency matrix helps you to compare two or more lists. When you have 2 lists, one list is represented by a row across the top of the sheet and the other a column at the left side of a sheet. The intersection of the row and column is the matrix selection that correlates adjoining X and Y values.

April 2, 2013

462

PHA-Pro


Dependency Matrices in PHA-Pro Dependency Matrices are available only in the root directory of the template hierarchy. When you select the Dependency Matrix item in the Hierarchy, a wizard helps you to set the parameters of the matrix as required.

Figure D-1: Each of the above lists and matrix represent different hierarchy items as well as separate pages in the study.

At a minimum, the default parameters of the Dependency Matrix are: 1. A vertical list at the left of the worksheet with optional associated Category and Formula columns. In our tutorial, the vertical list is Recommended Controls. 2. A horizontal list across the top of the worksheet and an optional associated horizontal formula row at the bottom. In our tutorial, the horizontal list is Priority Levels. 3. The Matrix selection area has a reference field or reference field in a list. In our tutorial, the matrix is Level 1 Dependency Matrix. 4. A Destination List for conditional or manual Data Mirroring from Matrix Selection and its adjoining HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL values. In our tutorial, the destination list is High Priority To Do List. Tip: Destination lists can include other dependency matrices.

Dependency Matrices and Conditional Mirroring

When used in conjunction with conditional data mirroring, Stature can automatically enter data elsewhere in the study, depending on the entry in the matrix. You would find the dependency matrices and conditional data mirroring useful in the following circumstances: • • • •

In a HAZOP, based on the severity ranking, the associated cause and consequence pair are qualified for LOPA analysis. The QFD I/II/III process of APQP methodology can automatically cascade qualified data from QFD I to II and then to III. In a regular Process-FMEA, you can automatically generate data and send to the Control Plan. FMEAs and other quality specifications can be joined to the Requirements Matrix by automatically qualifying and then mirrored, based on weighted scores and importance of the requirements.

Creating the Hierarchy For the tutorials in this chapter, you need to create a new study called dependency matrix. It has a simple hierarchy, consisting of the following hierarchy items and sheets: •

Under Codes and Categories, there is one category: •

Dependency Matrix. It uses a Number field for the codes and has a text field for the description. There are 2 codes - 1 and 2. (“1” means cascade to the next level and 2 means do nothing.)

Figure D-2: There two codes in the Dependency Matrix category. “1” means cascade to the next level; “2” means do nothing.

•

Under Hierarchy, there are four Lists: • • • •

Recommended Controls Priority Levels. High Priority to Do List. Final To Do List.

Each list contains one text field.

Figure D-3: There are four List Hierarchy items. These provide the necessary fields to create two cascading dependency matrices.

Under Sheets, there are four sheets: ( • • • •

Creating a Cascading Dependency Matrix with Conditional Data Mirroring In the second example, we are going to create two dependency matrices with conditional data mirroring. We are going to use the same hierarchy as we did in the first example. We are going to use the dependency matrices along with conditional data mirroring to focus the to do lists to show only those actions that were marked as high priority in the dependency matrix. When we are finished, all of the Recommended Controls items are listed in the Level 1 Dependency Matrix. Any item that get a “1” in the High Priority column becomes automatically listed in both the High Priority To Do List and in the Level 2 Dependency Matrix. Any time that gets a “1” in the High Priority column in the Level 2 Dependency Matrix is automatically listed in the Final To Do list. Tip: The interim list does not have to be shown.

Creating the Level 2 Dependency Matrix

The items that are mirrored from the Level 1 Dependency Matrix appear in the Level 2 Dependency Matrix. Items that are mirrored in the Level 2 Dependency Matrix appear in the Final To Do List. Although in this exercise, we are still using Priority Levels as the x-axis and Dependency Matrix as the reference field, you can use a different hierarchy items for creating your cascading matrices. To create the Level 2 Dependency Matrix: Step

You can now start using the dependency matrix. When you select “1” in the High priority level, the task should automatically be mirrored to the destination list. If you select “1” in either the Medium or Low priority levels, the task should not be automatically mirrored. You can, however, still mirror the data by using the Send To command.
