Course Description
HAZOP, or Hazard and Operability Studies
is one of a number of risk assessment techniques used to demonstrate compliance with health, safety and environmental standards and legislation.
Although HAZOP techniques have traditionally been applied to the process and oil/gas industries, they can be equally applied to other industries,
activities and tasks.
Ideally HAZOP techniques should be applied at the project development stage as part of the project HSE plan, but can also be
applied for existing systems/processes as well as for process modifications.
HAZOP provide some measure of assurance through a structured and systematic examination of the design and operability of a system that the process design will be safe.
HAZOP is a highly structured technique, which can consume considerable resources to achieve an effective study. Therefore, the role of the Team Leader is crucial in directing resources where they are most needed so that the study duration is targeted for efficiency.
This seminar also provides an insight into the framework for HAZOP in the context of HSE Management System, which will enrich the effectiveness of the studies and produce a creative and innovative environment.
Course Objective
·
To provide a framework for HAZOP within risk assessment and HSE Management System.
·
To review the role of HAZOP within projects HSE plan.
·
To increase familiarity with HAZOP protocol, logic, structure and methodology.
·
To describe the role and structure of the HAZOP Team and procedures.
·
To introduce the role, responsibilities and conduct of HAZOP Team Leader.
·
To provide sufficient hands-on experience in the application of HAZOP to different processes and systems
·
To appreciate the application of HAZOP methodology in other areas of interest, e.g. human reliability and human HAZOP.
·
To appreciate the consequences of flammable/toxic releases, fire and explosion- dispersion modeling
Who Should
attend?
This seminar is primarily designed to meet the needs of potential HAZOP Team Leaders and Secretaries, to provide them with the necessary skills and framework to guide the HAZOP team members through the initial stages of the analysis to the production
of a HAZOP report and action plan.
This course is also aimed at all personnel involved in the process of risk assessment drawn from every level of process operations, production, design, maintenance and health & Safety.
