HAZOP (Hazard & Operability) Study
Hazard & Operability (HAZOP) study is the industry-standard technique used by to identify and address safety, environmental and operability concerns when reviewing process engineering designs. HAZOP is a systematic and detailed safety review of a completed design, using standard guide words to identify, then evaluate, the consequences of deviations from the expected operating conditions. It is conducted by a team who know most about the project or facility, typically those who designed and those who must operate it.
