HAZARD ANDOPERABILITY STUDY Brainstorming, Multidisciplinary Team Approach Structured Using Guide Words Problem Identifying Cost Effective When to Use? Optimal from a cost viewpoint when applied to new plants at the point where the design is nearly firm and documented or to existing plants where a major redesign is planned. It can also be used for existing facilities. Results Types: The results are the team findings. Which include: (1) identification of hazards and operating problems, (2) recommended changes in design, procedure, etc., to improve safety; and (3) recommendations for follow-on studies where no conclusion was possible due to lack of information. Nature: Qualitative. Requirements Data: The HazOp requires detailed plant descriptions, such as drawings, procedures, and flow charts. A HazOp also requires considerable knowledge of the process, instrumentation, and operation, and this information is usually provided by team members who are experts in these areas. Staff: The HazOp team is ideally made up of 5 to 7 professionals, with support for recording and reporting. For a small plant, a team as small as two or three could be effective. Time and Cost The time and cost of a HazOp are directly related to the size and complexity of the plant being analyzed. In general, the team must spend about three hours for each major hardware item. Where the system analyzed is similar to one investigated previously, the time is usually small. Additional time must be allowed for planning, team coordination, and documentation. This additional time can be as much as two three times the team effort as estimated above HAZOP STUDY - TEAM COMPOSITION ?A Team Leader, an expert in the HAZOP Technique ?Technical Members, for example New Design Existing Plant Design or Project Engineer Plant Superintendent Process Engineer Process Supervisor (Foreman) Commis
