HAZOP Study Management Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply HAZOP methodology to systematically identify hazards and operability problems in process systems.
• Analyze process deviations using guide words and parameters to assess potential risks.
• Evaluate the adequacy of existing safeguards and recommend risk reduction measures.
• Design a HAZOP study plan including scope, team composition, and documentation requirements.
• Implement HAZOP study procedures to facilitate effective team discussions and record findings.
• Demonstrate the ability to compile a comprehensive HAZOP report with actionable recommendations.

Target Audience

Process engineers, safety professionals, and operations managers involved in risk assessment and process safety management in industries such as chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and oil & gas.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions are integral to this course, enabling learners to apply HAZOP methodology in simulated team environments. Learners will facilitate and document HAZOP studies on process systems, reinforcing theoretical concepts and building confidence in real-world application.

Practical Activities

• Guided HAZOP on a Simple Process — Learners work in small teams to conduct a HAZOP study on a simple batch reactor system, identifying deviations, causes, and consequences. (4h)
• Facilitated HAZOP on a Continuous Process — Teams facilitate a HAZOP study on a continuous distillation column, including risk ranking and recommendation development. (6h)
• Full-Scale HAZOP Simulation and Presentation — Learners conduct a complete HAZOP study on a complex process unit and present findings to the class for feedback. (6h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
