HAZOP Study for Team Leaders and Members Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply HAZOP methodology to systematically identify deviations, causes, and consequences in process systems.
• Analyze process parameters and guide words to evaluate potential hazards and operability issues.
• Evaluate risk levels using qualitative or semi-quantitative techniques and prioritize recommendations.
• Design HAZOP worksheets and document study findings in accordance with organizational and regulatory standards.
• Implement effective team facilitation techniques to ensure comprehensive and efficient HAZOP sessions.
• Demonstrate compliance with relevant South African health and safety legislation and industry best practices.

Target Audience

Team leaders, supervisors, engineers, and safety personnel who are or will be members of HAZOP study teams in process industries such as petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, and mining sectors.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical workshops form the core of this course, allowing learners to apply HAZOP methodology to realistic process scenarios. Learners work in teams to conduct full HAZOP studies on batch and continuous processes, from preparation through to documentation and action planning, under the guidance of an experienced facilitator.

Practical Activities

• HAZOP Study on Batch Reactor System — Learners, in teams, conduct a HAZOP study on a batch reactor process using provided P&IDs and operating procedures. They identify nodes, deviations, causes, consequences, safeguards, and recommend actions, completing a HAZOP worksheet and risk ranking. (8h)
• HAZOP Study on Continuous Distillation Column — Learners lead and participate in a HAZOP study on a continuous distillation column, handling multiple nodes and interconnections. They produce a final report with risk-ranked actions and present findings for peer review. (8h)

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.
