What does HAZOP mean?
The Hazard and Operability Study is one of the most popular risk assessment techniques, that is used in many process industries, not only as a hazard identification & mitigation tool, but to also improve operability of the process.
It takes a systematic approach to risk evaluation, by identifying all possible deviations from the normal operation that can take place and cause undesirable events, due to either technical malfunctions or human errors and then recommend either engineering or operational controls to mitigate the consequences.
Abhisam was one of the first organizations to introduce HAZOP as an online, e-learning, software based training course more than ten years ago, as an alternative to attending traditional classroom style training workshops.
Since then, thousands of professionals, all over the world, have undergone this course and become certified as HAZOP Professionals, either via taking the e-learning course, or by attending in person, classroom style training workshops.
Even today, after so many years, this is the first course of choice, for any safety or technical professional, who wishes to get certified as a HAZOP Professional.
The course structure, level of detail, animations, simulations and videos, exercises and case studies make this a unique experience that has no peers anywhere.
What is the HAZOP Leader course all about?
Hazard and Operability Studies are a part of process safety management. They are done as a team effort, in a group led by an experienced professional who is designated the HAZOP Leader. Hazard and Operability Studies, requires not only a high degree of technical skills in evaluating process hazards, but also great management skills, so that the analysis gets carried out as per the planned schedule.
This training course includes a comprehensive review of the HAZOP technique and detailed case studies of plants, for which you will conduct a HAZOP review.
Is it similar to the HAZOP Professional course?
