The current trend is towards a zero risk chemical process plant. The application of risk management studies such as HAZOP is a vital step in achieving this goal. When a HAZOP review is carried out in a methodical manner, the hazards can be identified and managed effectively. This helps to give the management and plant operation personnel the assurance that the major hazards and hazardous activities in the process have been adequately covered in the design of the plant and in the operating procedures. The HAZOP study requires availability of multi-disciplinary team for fairly long periods. This article discusses some steps that can be adopted to make HAZOP review both time and cost effective.
