Description

The purpose of this course is to describe the principles and procedures of Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Studies. HAZOP is a structured and systematic technique for examining a defined system, with the objective of:

Identifying potential hazards in the system. The hazards involved may include both those essentially relevant only to the immediate area of the system and those with a much wider sphere of influence, e.g. some environmental hazards;

Identifying potential operability problems with the system and in particular identifying causes of operational disturbances and production deviations likely to lead to nonconforming products.

An important benefit of HAZOP studies is that the resulting knowledge, obtained by identifying potential hazards and operability problems in a structured and systematic manner, is of great assistance in determining appropriate remedial measures. The course is designed using the tools and techniques identified by IEC 61882:2016.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of this course you will understand how to:

prepare for a HAZOP study meeting and programme – including defining the scope of the study and choosing the team

choose nodes (parts of the drawings or operation for HAZOP study)

estimate the programme requirements for the successful completion of a study

use facilitation techniques to motivate the team and keep them on task

avoid common problems encountered during study meetings, including challenging behaviours

formulate the HAZOP study report

fulfil the team leader’s role in implementing recommendations and managing the process

FOR WHOM

Anyone with experience of the HAZOP technique who is required to lead HAZOP studies

Process safety engineers, loss prevention specialists, production engineers, process design engineers, project engineers, process programmers and instrument control engineers

Risk Managers
