ΗΑΖΟΡ
HAZOP Study (Hazard and Operability) is a detailed and analytical examination process of a complicated procedure or operation, existing or being-planned, in order to identify and evaluate thoroughly, risk causing issues that might affect facilities and personnel.
HAZOP study is based on the principle of analyzing the overall complex process in a number of simpler sections called “knots” and are evaluated separately. HAZOP study is a team project. It requires the participation of engineers of various specialties and the implementation of specific methodology, for the technical-scientific part as well as the administrative part, i.e. meeting scheduling, communication, data transferring and documentation.
