Hazard & Operability Analysis (Hazop) CLICK:- Animated video explanation. •Overview Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP) is a structured and systematic technique for system examination and risk management. In particular, HAZOP is often used as a technique for identifying potential hazards in a system and identifying operability problems likely to lead to nonconforming products. HAZOP is based on a theory that assumes risk events are caused by deviations from design or operating intentions. Identification of such deviations is facilitated by using sets of “guide words” as a systematic list of deviation perspectives. This approach is a unique feature of the HAZOP methodology that helps stimulate the imagination of team members when exploring potential deviations. As a risk assessment tool, HAZOP is often described as: •A brainstorming technique •A qualitative risk assessment tool •An inductive risk assessment tool, meaning that it is a “bottom-up” risk ident...
