HAZOP


Hazop study (Hazards of Operations study), part of risk assessment, is a method to identify and analyze potential hazards in the workplace. Hazop an important safety management tool for solving various complex problems in occupational health and safety. As Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is a major concern in relation to the loss of manpower due to accidents, Hazop has received considerable attention among experts and the main manufacturers. The analytical methodology used in Hazop has been found effective for analyzing accidents that have already happened.

Hazop studies are conducted to assess risks involved in hazardous chemical operations. Hazop's study purpose is to determine what safety precautions must be followed to safely conduct an operation. Hazop studies are part of a comprehensive risk management program. If the right hazards are properly identified, it becomes easier to control them, thus preventing an incident from occurring and causing damage. Hazop study can be applied by identifying processes in which the potential for incidents can occur. By identifying those processes, it becomes easier to prevent their occurrence.

Hazop study is aimed at improving the safety and efficiency of facilities across all industries. It helps to reduce loss of life, property depreciation, environmental damage, and other associated costs that may arise due to hazardous materials accidents. Hazop's study results in improved processes in emergency planning and response. It aids in identifying and complying with the recommendations provided after a thorough analysis of a facility’s operations. A HAZOP study is a safety assessment of existing processes, it is a process hazard analysis where elimination of hazards is considered. This will be carefully followed by a feasibility evaluation to decide if the construction of new systems or technologies on-site is economically justifiable.

It is highly appreciated for those firms and companies who are arranging hazop study training courses and safety audit to organize their participants at credible, well-known, licensed, and genuine resourceful institutes. Nowadays, it is mandatory for engineers as well as workers who are working in industries, power plants & nuclear energy plants.

The Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP) technique was developed to identify and evaluate safety hazards in a process plant, and to identify Operability problems that, although not hazardous, could compromise the plant's ability to achieve design productivity. Although originally developed to anticipate hazards and Operability problems for technology with which organizations have little experience, it has been found to be very effective for use with existing operations.

Through this, our client can focus on HAZOPs relation in-

  • During the design or installation of any new plant or process, or major modification to an existing one;
  • When there are unique hazards such as environmental -hazards and quality or cost issues associated with the operation;
  • Following a major incident involving fire, explosion, toxic release etc.
  • To justify why a particular code of practice, guidance notes or industry code is not to be followed.
