HAZARD AND OPERABILITY


REVIEW ( HAZOP )
Reviewing designs and revisiting existing
processes to identify potential problems
in chemical, pharmaceutical, oil and gas,
and nuclear industries.
PURPOSE OF HAZOP
a form of risk management to identify, evaluate, and control hazards
and risks in complex processes. It involves highly hazardous chemicals
that can cause significant injuries and damage to property and
company reputation.
potential hazards in business operation
past incidents that had likelihood for catastrophic consequences
human-controlled factors
consequences of failure of applied control measures including the
range of the possible health and safety risks.
IMPORTANCE OF HAZOP FOR
MULTIPLE INDUSTRIES
The Hazop technique is widely used in the process industries because
of its importance in identifying and mitigating potential hazards and
risks.
Some of the key importance of HAZOP are:
Identification of hazard
Risk Reduction
Cost Reduction
Compliance with regulations
Improved decision making
Improved safety culture
HAZOP STUDY PROCESS
STUDY PROCESS OF HAZOP
Build a HAZOP team
Create a multidisciplinary HAZOP team composed of a team leader and members
01 who can collaborate and provide different perspectives based on their fields of
expertise. Examples include design engineers, operations professionals, and safety
professionals.

Identify processes, P&ID, and HAZOP nodes

02 When beginning a HAZOP study, it is important to identify processes, be familiar


with the process/piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID), and be aware of all
the nodes. P&ID provides a visual representation of interconnected processes,
equipment, and controls. HAZOP nodes are sections in the entire process where
changes happen and need to be reviewed along with Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS) to define parameters and identify deviations.
STUDY PROCESS OF HAZOP
Define the parameters, determine deviations, and select guide words
Define parameters or safe operating limits during the review of nodes so that
deviations can be determined and guide words are selected.
Examples of common HAZOP guide words:
No or not
03 More
Less
High
Low
With the use of guide words, workplace hazards can be clearly identified as they are
the deviations that go beyond acceptable parameters or safe operating limits.
STUDY PROCESS OF HAZOP
Identify controls and establish safety monitoring

04 Hazard mitigation and elimination strategies should be applied to maintain safety,


and monitoring should be established to ensure safeguards are still effective and
safety procedures are followed.

Communicate HAZOP results and improve processes


The HAZOP analysis can be used to help elevate safety within the plant and improve
safety practices and processes. An effective approach to safety training or program
05 can also help hasten the implementation of changes and reinforce safety across the
board.
HAZOP is rigorous and can take a lot of time and resources to complete, but by
following HAZOP steps and using tools to hasten the process without compromising
the quality of the process and its result, HAZOP can be effectively conducted and
completed sooner and the workplace can be made safer and more efficient.
4 PHASES OF ANALYSIS
Definition Phase
The definition phase typically begins with the preliminary selection of risk
01 assessment team members. After building the team, they must clearly define their
responsibilities and identify their objective and assessment scope including study
boundaries, key interfaces, and assumptions.

Preparation Phase
During the preparation phase, the team should identify and locate supporting
02 data and information to plan the study. They have to prepare the schedule,
timelines, and template format for recording study outputs.
4 PHASES OF ANALYSIS
Examination Phase
The examination phase begins with the identification of all elements such as parts
03 or steps of the system or process to be examined. The team has to classify
deviation using guide words on each element and identify consequences and
causes of problems. They have to establish protection, detection process, and
supporting mechanisms.

Documentation and Follow-up Phase


04 The documentation and follow-up phase utilizes HAZOP templates to finalize the
output reports. It involves the review of recorded examinations, follow-up on
implemented action plans, and re-study of any system parts if necessary before
signing off the documentation.
