SYNOPSIS   

preventing major accident hazards such as hydrocarbon release, fire, explosion, and toxic gas events. This talk will provide an overview of Technical Safety for FPSO, including how it differs from the broader HSE function and how it supports safe design, operational integrity, and lifecycle risk management. Key topics include the five main branches of Technical Safety: Human Factors Engineering, Process & Functional Safety, Formal Safety Assessments, Loss Prevention, and Major Accident Hazard (MAH) prevention.

The session will also discuss some of the studies such as HAZOP, SIL/LOPA, firewater demand calculation, and Safety Critical Elements (SCEs), highlighting how these studies contribute to ALARP demonstration, barrier management, and safer offshore operations.
