Dec 19, 2023 · Learn the meaning and application of Manual of Permitted Operations (MOPO) in the oil and gas sector, and understand why it plays a crucial role in risk management and operational safety.

MOPO is required to be developed for the operations phase of the project as part of the COMAH process. The MOPO is a matrix, or set of matrices, that maps operational activities against foreseeable situations that, if or when they arise, could compromise safe operating limits.

May 21, 2019 · A manual of permitted operations (MOPO), also referred to as a matrix of permitted operations, is a visually coded manual used to define whether a work activity can be conducted safely within a given condition (e.g. within darkness).

MOPO stands for Matrix of Permitted Operations. The study is done to map operational activities against foreseeable situations that would compromise safe operating limits. The matrix would identify and differentiate between permitted, permitted with caution and not permitted conditions to help operators make decisions in given scenarios.

This document provides guidance on developing and using a Manual of Permitted Operations (MOPO) to assist with planning and coordination of operations. A MOPO identifies circumstances that could compromise safety and defines conditions as "stop", "proceed with caution", or "safe to proceed". It also provides guidance notes for caution conditions.

Dec 31, 2022 · A manual of permitted operations (MOPO), also referred to as a matrix of permitted operations, is a visually coded manual used to define whether a work activity can be conducted safely within a given condition (e.g. within darkness).

Permitted Operations (MOPO) includes a set of matrix charts which uses a “traffic-light” coded approach to indicate when activities can proceed unrestricted, can proceed with caution, or are prohibited.

MOPO is a guide to define the limit of safe operations or activities that are permitted if control and/or mitigation measures are reduced and/or removed e.g. SCEs in terms of threat controls, recovery preparedness and escalation factors are partially present or not present.

The abbreviation MOPO stands for Manual of Permitted Operations, which is a document outlining the approved procedures and guidelines for specific operations within an organization. This term is often used in contexts involving regulatory compliance, operational management, and safety protocols.

A manual of permitted operations (MOPO) is a visually coded manual or matrix used to define whether a work activity can be conducted safely within a given condition. It was developed by Shell’s Technical Safety Engineering Team primarily for controlling the …
