Maximize industrial safety with LOPA

Protect your operations with precision. The LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis) module in Protecs enables organizations to systematically assess risk scenarios and define adequate layers of protection. With intuitive design, integrated data management, and compliance-ready reporting, Protecs helps teams make consistent, well-documented risk reduction decisions.

• Integrated LOPA Workflow: Streamline your LOPA analysis directly from existing scenarios. Work through consequence severity, likelihood, and IPL effectiveness with guided steps.
• Safety, Environmental and Financial Risk Categories: Make individual or parallel LOPA analysis for each risk category.
• Manage Initiating Events: Analyse single or multiple initiating events per Scenario for each required risk category.
• Conditional Modifiers and Enabling Conditions: Systematize
  all external factors affecting event severity, as well as, specific set of circumstances that must be present for a hazardous scenario to occur.
• Independent Protection Layer (IPL) Management: Define, assess, and manage IPLs with detailed performance and effectiveness attributes to meet industry standards like IEC 61511. Keep track of Existing, Recommended and Removed IPLs.
• Customizable Risk Matrices: Tailor your LOPA assessments to match your organization’s risk tolerance and methodology with configurable severity and frequency scales.
• Audit-Ready Reporting: Export professional reports with full traceability of decisions, assumptions, and documentation—ideal for audits and regulatory reviews.
• Collaboration & Version Control: Keep track and results of all sessions performed during the LOPA study. Work simultaneously with team members, track changes over time, and maintain a full version history for transparency and compliance.
• What after LOPA? Full Integration with Protecs: Enhance safety transparency by linking your LOPA outcomes with real-world safety provisions, risk reduction measures, override management, and inspection planning for a complete safety lifecycle.
