Course Introduction

The HAZOP Study training course provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study methodology, essential for ensuring safety and risk management in process industries. Over five days, participants will delve into basic concepts of hazards and risks, explore various hazard types, and learn preliminary hazard and consequence analysis techniques. The course covers HAZOP standards and legal requirements, including those set by OSHA and the UK HSE, and addresses different types of HAZOP studies for both greenfield and brownfield projects. Practical sessions focus on managing HAZOP teams, conducting studies, and documenting findings, while also reviewing advanced hazard evaluation techniques such as FMEA and FTA
