HAZOP Studies That Actually Change Designs

A HAZOP is only as good as its facilitator. We run node-by-node studies that find real hazards — and track actions to closure.

Full-Scope HAZOP Services

From study preparation through action close-out, we manage the entire HAZOP process so your team can focus on decisions — not logistics.

📋
Study Preparation

Node list development from P&IDs. Documentation package assembly. Study schedule and team selection guidance. Design freeze checklist. P&ID issue verification.

🔍
Facilitation

Structured HAZOP using IEC 61882 methodology. Guide word application: No, More, Less, As Well As, Part Of, Reverse, Other Than. Real-time documentation and cause/consequence capture.

LOPA Integration

Layer of protection analysis run concurrent with or after HAZOP. Initiating event frequency assignment. IPL credit verification. SIL target determination per IEC 61511.

📊
Reporting

HAZOP worksheet documentation to industry standard. Ranked action item register. Executive summary with key risk findings. Regulatory-ready format for PSM compliance.

🔄
Action Tracking

Post-study action management system. Design response verification. Re-HAZOP of modified nodes. Action register maintained through detailed engineering and to close-out.

🏭
Brownfield & Revalidation

Existing process HAZOP revalidation (5-year PSM requirement). MOC-triggered partial HAZOPs. P&ID redline review and update. Deviation-from-design analysis.

HAZOP and PSM Compliance

Process hazard analysis is one of the 14 elements of 29 CFR 1910.119. HAZOP is the recognized methodology for complex continuous processes.
