HAZOP: Hazard and Operability Studies

 

Identify risks before they become realities. The HAZOP Element provides structured tools to document, review, and manage hazard and operability studies in compliance with IEC 61511 standards.

What is HAZOP?

HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study) is the first step in the Functional Safety Lifecycle. It is a structured and systematic examination of complex processes to identify potential hazards, deviations, and operability issues that could lead to unsafe conditions.

Our HAZOP software module empowers teams to:

  • Build and manage HAZOP worksheets and nodes
  • Collaborate across disciplines in real time
  • Record causes, consequences, safeguards, and recommendations
  • Maintain traceability through versioning and approvals
  • Generate reports for regulatory and internal compliance
 

IEC 61511 Alignment:


HAZOP supports Phase 1: Hazard and Risk Assessment as defined in IEC 61511. It provides the foundation for subsequent risk analysis steps, including LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis) and SIL determination.
