In this developing world, to analyze and evaluate the hazards PHA (Process Hazard Analysis) was progressed. It was initially invented in UK by ICI but it gained importance in Chemical Industry after Flixborough Disaster 1974.
Many accidents at energy sites have been
causing damage to people and business. To meet the loss and to ensure the
safety at a tolerable level of risk HAZOP method is being counted on.
We are corporate training providers
who are now providing you the opportunity to get HAZOP leader training. It
includes number of courses among them HAZOP is one.
HAZOP leader training (2 to 3 days
course) its major part is based on practical work. The main purpose of this is
to make the person able to deal with the failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA).
It is a study to notify the trainee about risk assessment and safety measures
while leading during practical analysis.
Main Role of
HAZOP’s Team Leader
The main points include:
✔
Collecting the information
✔
Selecting and leading a team
✔
Gird up loins for possible hazard consequences
✔
Suggest suitable corrective actions
✔
Focus mainly on human issues
✔
Develop the ability to Plan, manage and impel
✔
Make it easier for others to get hands-on HAZOP’s
study
✔
Study about the scope
Who Can Adopt This Training?
The HAZOP course provides the
skillful training with HAZOP technique experience to the following
●
Project Engineers
●
Loss prevention specialists
●
Production Engineers
●
Process design Engineers
●
Facility Managers/Risk managers
●
Process Programmers
●
Plant Operators
●
Safety of process Operations
●
Area Managers
●
Engineers(instrumentation and controls)
Benefits
The main reason that course focuses
on HAZOP method is because it is a Continuous process, including role of HAZOP
team members and risk ranking.
It is a widespread method and it
contains significance in green-field development, Brown-field projects where it
can be designed at different stages and executed in a way that causes crucial
decrease in chemical related incidents. This tool has demonstrated the risks
which can occur for several reasons but are reduced with the help of HAZOP
process.
HAZOP Execution
To ensure the safety the most
reliable way to execute HAZOP method is:
⮚
Forming a team
⮚
Analyzing each element and its effects variations
⮚
Identify the hazards
The good way to understand it is
like, break a plant into smaller sections and study each and every section.
Also examine plant’s node design on different parameters. Asses the consequence
of each cause and by providing protection against consequences and its cause
safety is done.
Importance
This technique has now gained
importance in Chemical and Hydrocarbon processing industry. As in chemical
industry it is difficult to handle and process the hydrocarbon with other
products which are flammable. In this regard risk reduction requires not only
leadership but also proper design and management of equipment for processing
and storing chemicals for whom HAZOP terminology is the best one can rely on.
HAZOP Training has now become a legal requirement for many countries
due to its vastness in process.
Succinct
To sum up with HAZOP mainly used to
investigate systems deviation from design intent which creates problems in
operation to reduce that this method provides us the way to obtain safer and
efficient plants.
