On-demand Webinar: The Importance of HAZOP Studies

A Hazard and Operability study (HAZOP) is a rigorous, structured approach to identifying operational problems and hazards in the process industry. It is important for identifying and evaluating levels of risk to personnel and equipment within complex processes and operations.

This webinar will explain how HAZOP can be adapted to a variety of processes and technologies. Participants will learn the techniques of HAZOP, including how to divide the plant process into manageable sections (nodes) and then systematically apply specific ‘parameters’ and ‘guidewords’ to each node of the plant. Participants will also learn how to assess potential problems (‘deviations’) in practice.

What you’ll learn:

  • Basic Terminology and Introduction to HAZOP
  • HAZOP preparatory work
  • HAZOP study procedure
  • HAZOP worksheets and risk ranking

This webinar is best for:

  • Safety Engineers
  • Process Managers
  • Environmental Health Safety Specialist
  • Risk Engineers
  • Process Engineers and Process Designers
  • EHS Specialists, Managers, Supervisors and Engineers
