Basil Read Ltd - St Helena Airport Project
Hazard Operability (HAZOP) Study: BFI Ship to Shore Operations - 21 April 2017

1. Introduction
As part of the project scope and deliverables for St Helena Airport Project , located at St
Helena Island approximately 1900 km from Africa, a Hazard Operability (HAZOP) study
workshop was held on 03-06 April 2017.
The need for the HAZOP study arose through the detail evaluation and review of hazards
related to the operation and design of process systems using Piping and Instrumentation
Diagrams (P&IDs) of the Bulk Fuel Installation (BFI).
The objective further includes project gate review requirements recognizing the importance
of identifying the potential risks related to safe operation, maintainability, accessibility,
control functionality and interface plant operational issues as contemplated on engineering
drawings.
The methodology followed was to evaluate P&ID’s as well as plant layout drawings, through
a systematic and careful consideration of hazard guide words or deviations that may occur.
With the completion of this HAZOP study workshop and the completion of proposed risk
reduction or mitigation actions, the engineering and equipment drawings and the control
function specification can be finalised and issued for development of detailed operational
procedures and construction activities. This report document number H354128-00000-142-
066-0001 summarises the hazard study participants, the HAZOP methodology and
outcomes of the risk review workshop.

The HAZOP workshop were conducted in accordance with the requirements of international
standards for hazard studies (e.g. IEC 61882) and Risk Management Guidance as detailed
in ISO 31000, as well as the requirements of Basil Read Ltd and St Helena Airport project
risk management system.
The HAZOP study process as shown in Figure 3-1 is a structured and systematic technique
for examining detailed P&ID’s and plant layout drawings for defined systems, operational
facilities, control functional requirements and process equipment 3D-model views.
Through systematic and careful consideration of deviations that may occur from the intended
design (as represented in the engineering drawings), the objectives of this study were:
• Identify potential hazards during the operation of the St Helena Airport bulk fuel facilities.
The hazards involved may include both those essentially relevant only to the immediate
operational area and those with a much wider influence, e.g. safety and ergonomic
hazards; and

Basil Read Ltd - St Helena Airport Project
Hazard Operability (HAZOP) Study: BFI Ship to Shore Operations - 21 April 2017

• Identify potential hazards related to process streams and sequencing of operational


activities, in particular identifying causes of operational disturbances and other
deviations which could lead to a non-conforming activity.
Hazards identified during the risk review workshop have been assessed on a qualitative
basis; using the agreed risk matrix and risk criteria for the St Helena Airport project (refer to
Figure 4-1). The risk ranking results determined during the HAZOP study consider the
existing controls to be in place and those included in the operational methodology and
design of the facilities.
The result of applying this methodology leads to the identification of appropriate risk
reduction, mitigation or remedial measures; through the knowledge obtained during the
HAZOP workshop. The identified mitigation actions or response plans will either eliminate
the hazard, or reduce its risk level to As Low As Reasonably Practical (ALARP).
The ALARP principle states that the residual risk of a hazard, after controls and response
plans have been implemented, shall be As Low As Reasonably Practical. ALARP is
generally achieved when a risk has been made low enough that efforts to reduce the risk
further would be grossly disproportionate to the incremental benefits gained.

Risks are usually measured in terms of likelihood and consequences, which unless a risk is
eliminated, will always be non-zero quantities. The ALARP principle dictates that if there are
simple or low-cost risk reduction options available, then they should be implemented. It must
be stressed that it is not sufficient to just reduce risks to “Tolerable” risk level. It should also
be demonstrated that it is “reasonably impracticable” to reduce them any further.

4. Risk Criteria
Risk criteria refers to standards, measures, or expectations used in assessing a given risk in
context with strategic goals, the threshold or other decision rules by which the significance of
risk is assessed, to determine whether risk treatment actions are required. Risk criteria also
relate to a quantified expression of the level of “risk” a company, Individual or a Regulating
Body is prepared to tolerate. These are normally based on regulator or corporate risk
appetite, legal or inherent safe design requirements, ethical and social considerations,
financial prudence and/or broadly acceptable risk levels within society of what can and
cannot be construed as a tolerable level of risk. A tolerable risk level does not mean an
acceptable risk level, it indicates a willingness to work/operate with the identified hazards or
risks, with the provision that the hazard/risk scenario is kept under review. The risk level
should be reduced as and when feasible and practical to ensure the risk is maintained within
the As Low as Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) ranges.

ALARP is a term used in risk management and safety engineering, which states:

 That the residual risk shall be as low as reasonably practicable

 That controls to mitigate either the consequence or probability of the risk or both have
been implemented

 That the effectiveness of the mitigation controls are monitored and maintained.

Hazards identified during the workshop have been assessed on a qualitative basis, using
the agreed risk criteria and risk matrix for the SHAP project as contained in Figure 4-1
(Note: Refer to Appendix B for an enlarge view).

5. HAZOP Workshop
Hazard Operability (HAZOP) workshops are considered as an enhancement using
experienced- based approaches rather than a substitute for design codes, standards and
practice approaches to ensure safe operation.
This methodology results in a systematic way to identify hazards related to a process plant,
operational facility, fuel transfer system, construction site, etc.

The steps followed during the HAZOP study process are as follows:
1. Copies of the relevant P&ID’s as well as plant layout drawings were distributed amongst
all stakeholders.
2. The drawings were then split into “HAZOP nodes” based around a consolidated
operational function, process stream or system.
3. The operational methodology of each HAZOP node as per P&ID or set of drawings was
then explained to the risk review team by an engineer or expert in any of the specific
process systems (e.g. the draining and pigging system), as required.
4. Each node was then evaluated applying the “HAZOP process” by discussing the
possible operational disturbances and production deviations that could occur.
5. Each identified potential deviation was then analysed further in order to determine what
control and/or preventative measures were currently in place in order to either reduce or
mitigate the consequence or likelihood of the potential deviation from the normal design
basis.
6. The potential deviation was then ranked based on the pre-defined probability and
consequence tables as contained in the risk matrix (refer toFigure 4-1) in order to
determine whether any additional risk reduction or mitigation actions were required for
the potential deviation.
7. Based on the risk review team evaluation, potential deviations exceeding a risk value of
17 were assigned additional risk reduction or mitigation actions if needed, which were
then assigned to a relevant stakeholder.

Note:
The initial risk assessment value can only be reduced or mitigated to a lower risk level
or ALARP level after implementation and evaluation of the effectiveness of the
proposed risk reduction or mitigation action.
8. All data captured during the risk workshop were recorded using PHA-Pro software. The
software is a comprehensive and innovative tool, developed by Dyadem, for conducting
a Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), also in this case known as Hazard/HAZOP or risk
review workshop.

9. The following HAZOP guidewords were considered relevant for the workshop session,
according to international risk guidewords for hazard risk review studies:
 High / No / Reverse or Misdirected Flow
 High / Less or No Pressure
 High / Less Temperature
 High / Less or No Level
 Loss of Containment Hazards
 Interlocks / Alarm / Trip / Overload Protection Settings Specified
 Explosion / Fire Hazards (storage or processing of flammable material)
 Fire Protection System (passive / active)
 Electrical Area Classifications (zone requirements for equipment)
 Electrical Control Systems (power supply)
 Static Earthing / Grounding Arrangements
 Spares Availability
 Maintenance Hazards (isolation, maintenance access)
 Waste Management (ground pollution, disposal facility, legal requirements)
 Emergency Systems (emergency event at upstream/downstream unit)
 Natural Hazards (earthquake, flooding, thunder storm, lightning, high winds)
 Normal Operations Hazards (human factors, safety, start-up operation, shutdown
operation, duration, sequence, sampling)
 Vibration (mechanical fatigue, false signals instrumentation)
 Sewer Systems (oil, rain water, utility water, catchments)
 Environment (water & air pollution and consumption, legal requirements)
 Safety Hazards (PPE, safety showers, eye baths, breathing apparatus, machine
guards)
 Confined Spaces (pits, sumps, sewers, containers, vessels, etc.)
 Ergonomics (equipment accessibility)
 Piping Hazards (tie-in requirements, welding, material selection, hot-tapping)
 Civil Construction (excavation hazards)
 Health Exposure to Products (dust, fluids, gasses, fumes, etc.)
 Building and Structures (ablution facilities, office location, control rooms, etc.)
 Plant Structures (roofing, walls, grating, fixed ladders, walkways, etc.)
 Utilities Availability (air, water, steam, nitrogen, oxygen, electricity)
 Equipment Location (crane, road tanker or personnel accessibility, lay down
areas)
Note:
All the above listed guidewords were evaluated in detail and additional guidewords were
added for a specific concern or system when a team member identified a scenario for
discussion. Following an evaluation of the information available, the team decided not to
record any comments if it was found that no hazards could be identified for a specific
deviation or guideword.

7. Risk Review Results


This HAZOP study specifically addressed the proposed operational disturbances on process
systems, equipment locations and control functional requirements as contained in the
engineering, layout and Piping and Instrument Drawings (P&IDs).
All identified hazards were assessed using the risk matrix as shown in Figure 4-1 in terms of
risk criteria. Scenarios with a business or non-safety impact, with a risk ranking from 15 to
24 are considered to fall within the ALARP range and to be considered as a tolerable risk.
ALARP stands for “As Low As Reasonably Practicable”, a acronym used in risk
management and safety engineering, which states that the residual risk shall be as low as
reasonably practicable, after controls have been implemented.
Risks within the ALARP range can be considered tolerable provided that current safeguards
and proposed mitigation measures have been put in place and are effective to ensure
compliance to the ALARP principle.
There were 204 hazards identified and recorded in the HAZOP study minutes. However, by
applying qualitative risk evaluation techniques, hazard scenarios related to human safety,
with a risk ranking of 15 to 24 may be considered as being unacceptable.
Based on the above the risk review team identified additional proposed mitigation actions for
hazards exceeding a risk level of 17, which resulted in a total of 34 recorded risk reduction
or mitigation actions.

However, all the hazards with an initial risk value of 15 or greater should be monitored by
the plant management to ensure that the current safeguards or existing risk controls,
including recommended reduction or mitigation actions, are implemented and the
effectiveness tested before the residual risk value may be accepted as a final risk value.
