HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study) is a systematic technique used in the process industry to identify hazards and operational problems. This methodology involves evaluating potential deviations from design intent in processes concerning hazardous substances. HAZOP aims to improve safety and efficiency through a structured analysis of operational procedures, highlighting human errors and technical failures while considering various consequences of deviations. The study emphasizes the importance of terminology and guide-words in executing HAZOP effectively, which ultimately leads to risk reduction and enhanced operational procedures.
