Hazard Identification (HAZID)
& Process Risk Assessments

hazid-risk-assessment

What is a HAZID?

A Hazard Identification is a systematic and thorough method for ensuring that all significant hazards are considered and all potential accident triggering events are identified. The study identifies hazards from:

  • Previous operational experience
  • Effect of failure of equipment designed to protect, detect or mitigate hazards
  • Human error

What are process risk assessments?

Most international health and safety law requires risk assessments to be carried out to ensure and maintain explosion and fire safety measures in all facilities and the workplace.

Risk assessment forms can generally be grouped into two distinct categories: 1) Are we doing enough? 2) Do we need to do more?

Risk assessments are, in effect, a health and safety management tool that can help to identify potential risks or weaknesses to primary designs, systems or the working environment itself.

Frequently asked questions

The HAZID is used to identify all potential hazards including major accident hazards. This is followed by the a subsequent qualitative hazard ranking of risk posed by any potential hazards.

The HAZID is recorded using a purpose designed spreadsheet which records the process hazards; control, preventative and mitigation safeguards; and any actions identified during the HAZID.
