Layer of protection analysis (LOPA) is one of many methods for assessing a given scenario to determine if the risk is acceptable. It uses rigid rules to simplify and standardise the definitions of independent protection layers (IPLs) and initiating events (IEs). If these rules are followed, then the risk assessment will give an order-of-magnitude approximation of the risk of a given cause-consequence pair (scenario).
