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.

Course Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants should have an appreciation of:
• The concept of Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) in the context of the requirements of IEC 61508 and IEC 61511
• The concept of Hazard, Risk and the As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) principle
• Essential Features of a HAZOP Study
• Structured Methodology applied in a HAZOP study
• The concept of Risk Ranking and Risk Matrices for use in the study
• Application of HAZOP studies for Batch Processes
• Key Points when preparing for a HAZOP workshop
• Use and application of the software package ProSet’s PHA Comp Module to conduct and record PHA studies

Qualifications, Skills, Competence gained
• Certificate setting out the key topics covered in the course.
• Knowledge of key concepts that underpin PHA studies.
• Understand the structured methodology used in HAZOP Workshops
• Tools to conduct an effective and efficient HAZOP study
• HAZOP Workshops with real examples to demonstrate an understanding of the HAZOP process.
Who will benefit
• Employees that need an awareness of the HAZOP studies

Course Evaluation
Course evaluation will be via feedback form.

Hazard Identification (HAZID)

Programmes Manager — Thu, 09 Jul 2020 13:21:06 +0000

This course aims to provide all personnel with solid hazard identification awareness to enable them to evaluate hazards quickly and effectively so that they can carry out their duties as safely as possible.

Who should attend

The course is designed for Project Engineers, Managers and Owners of onshore or offshore Facilities involving in Operations, Production, Maintenance, HSE, Process and Process Safety. It is especially beneficial for participants who are new to these concepts or refreshers seeking to sharpen their skills and knowledge in PHA.

Learning Objectives

Explain the purpose of Hazard Identification
Give examples of common, industry specific hazard
Demonstrate effective hazard identification
Identify the difference between occupational hazards and Major Accident Hazards
Describe the hazards posed by people
Explain the importance of reducing risks to ALARP (As Low as Reasonably Practicable)
Give examples of control measures and recognise how these systems are used to mitigate risk
Explain the purpose of a Risk Assessment and how it can be used to identify and mitigate potential hazards
Give examples of Major Accidents Hazards and recognise why they occurred
