Why conduct a HAZID
HAZard IDentification (HAZID) is a well known and well documented method, a HAZID is a systematic assessment to identify hazards and problem areas associated with plant, system, operation, design and maintenance. The HAZID is used both as part of a Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) and as a standalone analysis for i.e. installation, modification, replacement, upgrading, reduction, isolation etc.
We provide an independent third party review of the design or planned activities and facilitate the workshop to bring out the ideas and imagination of the workshop team to ensure that all potential risk areas are identified and reviewed.
A typical HAZID study will be conducted:
- Familiarization with background documentation.
- Planning of the workshop meeting in a pre-meeting with the customer in order to identify HAZID strategy, division of the system (nodes) and identifying guide words.
- Accomplishment of the HAZID review.
- Documentation of observations.
- Draft report for client review.
- Final HAZID report.
- Advantages and benefits.
HAZID is a qualitative method dependent on the outcome of guide words, integration and motivation of participants.
