Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP)
Course Description
It is universally recognized that for any company to succeed it must take a proactive approach to risk management. Over the last few years Companies and a number of Countries legislators have been focusing on Process Safety as a method to reduce the risks posed by hazardous industries. Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) is recognized as being a critical tool in the implementation of a successful risk management system. As Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies are now recognized world-wide as being the qualitative risk assessment methodology of choice in the Process Industries, there will be additional focus on this specific aspect of Process Hazard Analysis.

In this BTS Health & Safety training course, the delegates will learn:

 How to Apply Advanced Risk Assessment Techniques?

  • Mechanics of Dispersion, Fire, Explosion and Toxic Releases
  • The Concept of Quantified Risk Assessment “QRA”
  • Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Study Methodology
