HAZID and HAZOP Overview by Elixir

The document discusses HAZID and HAZOP studies. A HAZID is carried out early in a project to identify significant hazards from a process and external factors. The HAZID is used to identify safeguards to reduce risks from identified hazards. A HAZOP is a systematic review of a process to identify deviations from design intent and potential consequences. It is directed by an independent chairperson and involves a team with knowledge of process design, equipment, and operation.

HAZID/HAZOP Study Packages

HAZID (Hazard Identification)

A HAZID is generally carried out in the early stages of a project, usually at conceptual or feasibility study
when process flow and parameters are established. The purpose of a HAZID is to identify significant
hazards that may be presented by the process (fire, explosion, toxic chemicals, etc.) and external factors
that may affect the process (e.g. weather, traffic movements, etc.) and the potential consequences of
such hazards.

The HAZID is used to identify the required safeguards that need to be employed to reduce the risks
associated with the identified hazards.

It is carried out in a group format with a dedicated, independent chairperson and a team of relevant
discipline engineers with sufficient knowledge of the process and the establishment.

HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Studies)

In the Energy, Chemical and Process Industries, HAZOPs are viewed as the primary hazard analysis
method in the process safety canon.

A HAZOP is a systematic review of the process to identify credible deviations from the design intent and
to identify the potential consequences and mitigations associated with such an event.

The HAZOP should be directed by an independent chairperson who is able to encourage and facilitate
input from all of the team members, in order that all foreseeable deviations are addressed.

The HAZOP team should comprise of competent representatives from the pertinent disciplines who
have sufficient knowledge of the process design, equipment and plant operation to be able to evaluate
the risks associated with each scenario.
