HIRA Masterclass - Session 7 of 12

HAZOP INTRODUCTION


Monday 21 December 2026, 11:30–13:30 (UK time)


Guidewords, nodes, deviations, causes, consequences, safeguards, recommendations.


The HAZOP process is straightforward on paper. In practice, the difference between a HAZOP that protects your facility and one that gives you a false sense of security comes down to how rigorously those seven elements are applied.


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.


2 hours. Live. £25.


1 free place available for students, university staff, or anyone currently unemployed. A first come, first served. Get in touch to apply.


This course is a different scope to the HAZOP Foundations modules which aim to demonstrate the technique.
