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

HAZOP Benefits
- Save time with preloaded templates and auto-formatting
- Reduce audit risk with consistent documentation
- Enable real-time collaboration during workshops
- Link HAZOP results directly to LOPA and SIS design elements
Dynamic Risk Matrix
Real-Time Insight into Every Scenario
The SLM HAZOP Dynamic Risk Matrix brings your data to life—instantly visualizing how frequency, severity, and likelihood combine to define real-world process safety risks.
Teams can interact with live data, explore detailed scenario information, and focus attention where it matters most. Whether assessing current operations or planning future improvements, the Dynamic Risk Matrix turns complex data into clear, confident decisions.
