Independent Protection Layers are key to reducing the likelihood and severity of undesirable events at industrial process plants. Typical protection layers are Pressure Vessel Integrity, Procedures, Process Control System, Safety Valves, Instrumented Systems/Interlocks etc. Layer of Protection Analysis or LOPA is a method of Risk Evaluation to determine if sufficient protection
