HAZOP Revaluation of MOC plants

Introduction:

This training program focuses on updating participants' skills in conducting Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP) within the context of Management of Change (MOC) plants. Through it, participants will be equipped to ensure the continued safety and operability of MOC plants through thorough HAZOP reevaluation processes.

Program Objectives:

At the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Understand the HAZOP methodology and effectively apply it to identify and mitigate hazards in various processes.

• Demonstrate proficiency in conducting comprehensive HAZOP studies, including knowledge of the necessary requirements and procedures.

• Differentiate between HAZOP and other hazard identification techniques, discerning their respective strengths and limitations.

• Define the roles and responsibilities of both the HAZOP Leader and participants, ensuring clear understanding of their contributions to the study process.

• Prepare adequately for HAZOP studies, including node preparation and understanding the steps involved in creating and closing out HAZOP reports.

Targeted Audience:

• Process engineers.

• Operation engineers/supervisors.

• HSE officers.
