HAZOP (hazard and operability) studies have become more and more recognised as a good way of revealing and managing the risks of different systems and procedures. In this course DNV tutors combine formal presentations with practical workshops, in which delegates will gain hands-on experience from participating in a HAZOP session.

Course description
Some of the topics covered are:

• HAZOP method for continuous processes
• HAZOP method for procedures
• Preparations for HAZOP studies
• The role of the HAZOP leader
• HAZOP reporting and follow up
• Comparison of HAZOP with other analysis techniques – when to use what?

Learning objective
Provide the knowledge to lead efficient HAZOP studies.

Target group
The course will be of use to a wide range of disciplines whether in design, development, production, maintenance or a safety/environmental role. People in all these disciplines regularly lead, or are involved in, HAZOP studies. The technique is finding increasingly diverse applications in a wide range of industries.
