Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Study Horror Stories
If you have participated in a Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study or managed the output of the study you will have a HAZOP horror story. We often know the symptoms of poor HAZOP performance however do we really understand the consequences or the causes. Without being able to put the symptom into perspective (by knowing the consequence) the drive to change can be missing. Without knowing the cause the fix can be elusive.
In this webinar we look at a few HAZOP study horror stories, elaborate their consequences and dissect their causes. You will be able to fix a few of the common issues in your HAZOP study and ultimately improve the process safety performance of your facility for the long term.
The webinar will be applicable to all those involved in HAZOP studies in all high hazard industries.
