The Risk Management category on NitinJadhav.com is dedicated to helping professionals in process industries, EPC projects, and plant operations understand, assess, and mitigate risks to ensure safe, efficient, and compliant industrial environments.
In high-hazard industries like oil & gas, petrochemicals, LNG, power, and chemicals, managing risk is not optional—it’s mission-critical. This section offers comprehensive coverage of:
Qualitative and quantitative risk assessments (QRA)
Hazard identification techniques (HAZID, HAZOP, FMEA)
Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA)
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) studies
Consequence and frequency analysis
Risk matrices, tolerability criteria, and risk ranking
Fire, explosion, and toxic gas release modeling
Bowtie analysis and ALARP demonstration
Each article provides practical frameworks, regulatory references, Excel tools, and software integrations (like PHAST, Safeti, PHA-Pro, DNV GL) based on global standards including CCPS, IEC 61511, OISD, NFPA, API, and ISO 31000.
Whether you’re a process safety engineer, risk analyst, HSE leader, or plant manager, this section helps you build risk-informed decision-making processes, design safer systems, and meet project-specific or organizational risk tolerance levels.
Our aim is to empower you to shift from reactive problem-solving to proactive risk prevention and mitigation.
This comprehensive guide explores the Bow Tie Method — a powerful visual tool in process safety for linking hazards, threats, top events, consequences, and barriers. Ideal for managing major accident hazards in oil & gas and other high-risk industries.
