Quality of HAZOP studies
I had raised a question to a PSM group in LinkedIn about the deteriorating quality of HAZOP studies.
Slightly off-topic, but:
Quite a few years ago I led a HAZOP on a new build unit for a refinery
in the Middle East, on behalf of a large consultancy. One of the
consultancy staff led a similar HAZOP on revamp of an existing unit.
The staff employee took output from both studies and wrote the Management Report, major findings, etc.
He included the following phrase in the report:
"It has to be understood that HAZOP will not reveal all the hazards to a project in operations and maintenance activities. It is therefore anticipated that any remaining hazards will be found during operations."
Boom!
