HAZOP can help to identify and solve the common operability issues such as maintenance, start-up, isolations, etc. as it provides a rigorous and systematic check of the design in terms of safety, operability and conformity to the standards.Continue Reading

The residual risk rating is the amount of risk or danger associated with an action or event that remains after every effort has been made to eliminate such risks in a given situation through risk controls.Continue Reading

Risk is assessed by identifying the hazard and its control measure in place and evaluating it against the occurrence likelihood and the severity of the risk as defined in the risk matrix.Continue Reading

Identify the hazards Decide who might be harmed and how Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions Record findings and implement them Review risk assessment and update, if necessaryContinue Reading

The impact due to malfunction of a non-critical system is much lesser in comparison to malfunction of a critical system.Continue Reading

Process Hazard Analysis is a systematic effort designed to identify and analyze hazards associated with the processing or handling of highly hazardous materials, in which the information obtained from the analysis helps the employers and workers in improving the safety of their systems.Continue Reading

Process Hazards Analysis (PHA) is a study of process hazards that include methods like HAZOP, What-If and Checklist. Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP) is a structured and systematic technique for identifying possible hazards in a work process.Continue Reading

Process Safety Information (PSI) is the basis of a Process Safety Management (PSM) program. It’s a process of data and information collection to help the Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) to identify and understand the hazards posed by those processes involving highly hazardous chemicals. PSI at least collect following information: Hazards of the highly hazardous chemicals...Continue Reading

Process Hazards Analysis (PHA) is a study of process hazards that include methods like HAZOP, What-If and Checklist. Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP) is a structured and systematic technique for identifying possible hazards in a work process.Continue Reading

A safety-critical function is a function that, if lost or degraded, or as a result of incorrect or inadvertent operation, can result in catastrophic or critical consequences.Continue Reading
