Introduction to HAZOP Course Overview
The Introduction to HAZOP Course is a one day course intended to provide an introduction to the fundamentals of a HAZOP study.
As part of the Risk Analysis process detailed in international standards IEC 61508 and IEC 61511, Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) tools such as HAZop and OPerability (HAZOP) are used to identify potential undesirable events that could lead to hazardous scenarios or operability problems within a process.
The course can be delivered in person or via our virtual classroom.

HAZOP Study for Team Leaders and Team Members

Programmes Manager — Thu, 09 Jul 2020 13:07:16 +0000

This course provides effective, realistic training for HAZOP team members and leaders. Alongside presentations covering all the essential aspects of the method, you will participate in workshops using HAZOP methodology for continuing processes, sequential operations and computer-controlled plant. You will also learn more about the relationship between HAZOP and other hazard identification methods and hazard studies.

Much of the course is dedicated to group work on realistic HAZOP studies, giving team leaders and team members practical experience in their respective roles.

Examples are drawn from a range of industry sectors and typical reports are also provided. You can also take part in discussion and analysis sessions to identify strengths, weaknesses and learning points from the case studies.

If you have little or limited experience as a HAZOP team member, you should register for the course as a team member, whilst experienced team members, those new to team leadership and leaders in need of a refresher, should register as a team leader.

Learning outcomes
Team leaders will learn:

how to be a good leader, emphasised by practice and reviews
how to manage HAZOP studies
the importance of pre-study preparation
how to work effectively with the team secretary and the team members.

Team members will learn:

how HAZOP study works
the role and responsibilities of a team member
how to become a valuable team member.

Who will benefit
New HAZOP team leaders, new HAZOP team members, and experienced HAZOP team members moving on to team leadership. Engineers and other technical personnel new to HAZOP, and those with safety/project management responsibilities, will also benefit.
