HAZOP Continous Training

On Demand - Inlcudes live session recording

HAZOP is one of the most time intensive tasks on any asset or project however it is often one of the tasks overlooked until it has to be undertaken. This results in poor quality preparation, poor delivery and a large number of actions to follow up after. All of this perpetuates a negative experience of HAZOP in your organisation which routinely undermines the most important safety study that will be completed as part of your work scope. This has the potential to result in unidentified hazards being carried forward into operation with the potential for major incidents such as BP Texas City.

The lack of good process hazard analysis has contributed to more than 50% of all major incidents in recent history and is often listed as the cause or contributory cause in CSB investigations. In this course you will learn that HAZOP does not start when you all sit down at the table and does not end when you get up at the end of the last node. This course will show what best industry practice is and what international standard compliance looks like.

This module will look at the application of the HAZOP methodology on a batch basis.
