Introduction to Process Hazard Analysis using HAZOP

Recording Date: March 2014

This webinar covers the HAZOP methodology in the context of the overall process safety management lifecycle. It first provides a high level overview of the process hazards analysis (PHA) work process, detailing process safety management (PSM) expectations for the PHA. Process safety information is covered, explaining how it is needed in order to conduct the review and management of change (MOC) is shown in the overall PHA work process to illustrate the relationship between PHA and MOC. With the foundation set, details of the HAZOP methodology, including report documentation are presented.
