Introduction to HAZOP and Other Risk Assessment Techniques in Process Industries
In high-risk industries like oil & gas, petrochemicals, power, and pharmaceuticals, ensuring safety and operational integrity is non-negotiable. One of the most effective ways to identify potential hazards and operational issues before they lead to incidents is through structured risk assessment techniques. Among them, HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study) stands out as a globally recognized and widely adopted methodology.
This section of our website provides a deep dive into HAZOP and other essential risk assessment tools such as What-If Analysis, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Event Tree Analysis (ETA), Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA), and Risk Matrix evaluations. Each technique plays a critical role in process safety management, helping engineering teams proactively identify, evaluate, and mitigate risks throughout the plant lifecycle.
Whether you’re a student, a safety engineer, or a project professional, this page will equip you with practical knowledge, real-world examples, step-by-step guides, and downloadable resources to strengthen your understanding of process risk assessments.
