HAZOP Audit Sheet

Managing HAZOP quality is a constant challenge we face. The approach taken in most organisations is simply to stop using a facilitator after they deliver a "bad" HAZOP. This allow poor quality to perpetuate in our industry and narrows the pool of facilitators for our future use. We must also be mindful that there were also two parties in the procurement of that HAZOP and we may be in part be accountable. Use this worksheet to take a more constructive approach to HAZOP quality

HAZOP Buyer Checklist

None of us want to buy a HAZOP at the wrong time of the project, with the wrong scope, attended by a less than ideal team and facilitated by someone who does not compliment our team. However that is easily and all too often done. Be a better informed buyer today. Using this checklist when planning your conversations around HAZOP will allow you to buy better quality HAZOP sessions time and time again.

HAZOP Buyer Quote Request Email Template

HAZOP buyer is not something you are "promoted" into slowly. One minute you have never bought a HAZOP, the next you need to buy a HAZOP to be completed in the next 2 weeks. For some it may not be a problem as you already know what a HAZOP is, what good looks like and who to talk to. However for a portion of people buying a HAZOP (even if you have bought one before) can bring dread. What do I tell them? What do I ask them? This template will help you step forward in confidence.

HAZOP Leader Course

Join us for a HAZOP leader course with a difference. Over 8 weeks we explore the world of HAZOP leader like no one else. We discuss the taboos (contract review, pricing, and estimating for those short HAZOPs). We cover the tricker parts of HAZOP (complex systems such as flares and drains, management of change HAZOP and temporary systems). We discuss what closure looks like and where responsibilities change hands.

HIRA Master Class - Session 10 - Output of risk assessments and how they inform PSM systems

A risk assessment that sits in a folder is a waste of everyone's time. This session covers how risk assessment outputs should feed into safety-critical element registers, maintenance priorities, performance standards, and management of change so the assessment actually changes how the facility operates.

Course•By Louise Wilson

HIRA Master Class - Session 11 - Action closure

"Install high-level alarm on T-101." What type? What setpoint? Who owns it? This session covers why most risk assessment actions fail at the closure stage, how to write actions that the closing engineer can actually execute, and how to verify that the action achieved the intended risk reduction.

Course•By Louise Wilson

HIRA Master Class - Session 12 - Auditing

How do you know your risk assessments are any good? This session covers how to audit your risk assessment process, from input quality to team competence to recommendation closure. If you have never audited your HAZOPs, this session will show you what to look for and what you will probably find.

HIRA Master Class - Session 1 - How to use a risk matrix

Everyone has a risk matrix. Almost nobody uses it consistently. This session covers what a risk matrix is actually telling you, why two people score the same scenario differently, and how to get your team aligned before the assessment starts.

Course•By Louise Wilson

HIRA Master Class - Session 2 - Determining consequences consistently

"Major" or "moderate"? The answer shouldn't depend on who's in the room. This session gives you a structured approach to consequence assessment, including the difference between what could happen and what did happen, and why only one of those belongs in your risk ranking.

Course•By Louise Wilson

HIRA Master Class - Session 3 - Determining likelihood consistently

Likelihood is where safeguards live. This session covers how to assess frequency with safeguards in place, why "unlikely" is not a number, and how to stop your team defaulting to gut feel when the data exists.

Course•By Louise Wilson

HIRA Master Class - Session 4 - Building a risk matrix

Most teams inherit a risk matrix and never question it. This session covers how to build one that fits your facility: consequence categories, likelihood bands, risk tolerance criteria, and the ALARP region. If your matrix doesn't match the types of events which occur at your facility, every assessment you run through it is wrong.

Course•By Louise Wilson

HIRA Master Class - Session 5 - Risk assessment techniques and when to use them

PHA, HAZID, HAZOP, LOPA, What-If, FMEA, Checklist, there are dozens of techniques and names for risk assessments and most facilities use the wrong one for the question they're asking. This session maps techniques to decisions so you pick the right tool before you start.

HIRA Master Class - Session 6 - HAZID introduction

HAZID is the study most organisations skip and the one that prevents the most rework. This session covers how to scope, structure, and run a HAZID that genuinely reduces your HAZOP schedule and improves the quality of your findings.

Course•By Louise Wilson

HIRA Master Class - Session 7 - HAZOP Introduction

Guidewords, nodes, deviations, causes, consequences, safeguards, recommendations. This session walks through the HAZOP process from start to finish with a worked example, what good looks like, what bad looks like, and the three things that determine whether your HAZOP adds value or just ticks a box.

Course•By Louise Wilson

HIRA Master Class - Session 8 - LOPA Introduction

LOPA takes your HAZOP output and asks: is the risk tolerable, and if not, how many independent protection layers do you actually need? This session covers IPL criteria, target mitigated event likelihood, and the most common LOPA mistake, taking credit for safeguards that are not independent. This session also covers LOPA screening which can significantly reduce the scope of your workshop.

Course•By Louise Wilson

HIRA Master Class - Session 9 - Setting risk management targets

ALARP, SFAIRP, tolerable risk, broadly acceptable. These are not interchangeable and your regulator knows the difference. This session covers how to set risk targets your organisation can defend to the HSE, to your insurer, and to your own board.
