Layer of Protection Analysis: Simplified Process Risk Assessment

By far, this is the best book I have read on the subject. I'll let you know what my final opinion is once I finish.The graphics are excellent but suffer from being on poor paper. Aside from that negative, this is probably the best book in the area of SIS and LOPA available. I've read a few others and after a few chapters it is difficult to follow.LOPA should precede a full-HAZOP because it is more conservative in its approach. With this in mind, the full-HAZOP should look at ways to trim the results of LOPA to find a well-explored optimal level of protection.I will add to this review after I finish the book.I hope this review was helpful. If so, please add your vote.

It's good but old edition. I think it's a time to develop new edition with new information

This is an excellent book that will give you the feel of LOPA and an understanding of its concepts. It does not get into the nit and gritty of how to calculate SIL, etc. However, with things like SIL SOLVER around, you really don't need that. By the way, COP pretty much bases their LOPA protocol on this book.

Good, but partly outdated book.Clear overview about how LOPA works with some clear real case examples.Good to use one example thoughout the book

The CCPS guide is a solid reference for the practice of LOPA and supports training and experience I have had in the use of LOPA.

Great reference, well explained, i want the updated 2014 version v2 which comes out in June. This will keep me until then. I bought a copy for the office and I am training my new engineers with it.

I have not yet received this item, and is because of this is impossible to make any book review. I'm waiting to the next delivery of the book.

I found the book covering a complex topic with remarkable ease, and of great value to the reader. The book is a must for all those who practice functional safety.

A good book to read

A great resource for information
