Hazop Study

How is the HAZOP study conducted?

The study is performed by considering each node in the P&ID, in a structured and creative manner to identify deviations from the intended design. The guide words used are from a carefully prepared list and the appropriate guidewords are chosen for each node. The HAZOP chairman poses these questions to the team of design engineers and operational staff who identify all possible deviations from normal operating conditions as per the guidewords. All possible hazards and operational difficulties are assessed. Once a hazard or problem has been identified, the team will endeavour to find a solution from within the group. In case that is not feasible the team may decide to conduct a further study outside the HAZOP session.

The deliberations of the session are recorded by a scribe and if any condition is found where a deviation can give rise to a significant consequence, it is noted on the HAZOP study worksheets.
