Facility Siting Training

This training aims to introduce participants to the safety principles and assessment approaches related to the layout of equipment, process units, and buildings in industrial facilities. Fundamental concepts regarding the understanding of risks associated with facility layout and the evaluation of risk reduction options are covered. The training content has been prepared considering the Seveso approach, national regulatory requirements, and the good practice guidelines published by API RP 752/753 and CCPS.

• Relevant regulatory approach in Türkiye (Seveso perspective)
• Overview of international standards (API RP 752/753, CCPS)
• Types of hazards
• Consequences and impact mechanisms
• Concept of human and building vulnerability

Day 2 – Analysis and Application

• Facility siting analysis approach
• Scenario identification and risk assessment
• Qualitative and quantitative approaches (QRA connection)
• Siting of control rooms and critical buildings
• Safety distances and layout optimization
• Barriers and risk reduction measures
• Example Facility Siting studies
• Practical case study (Workshop)
• Common mistakes and best practices
