Course Introduction
Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis is a critical technique for identifying potential hazards, operational issues, and safety risks in industrial processes. This 2-day online course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of HAZOP methodology, enabling them to systematically analyze processes, identify deviations, and implement corrective measures.
Through interactive workshops, case studies, and practical exercises, participants will develop the skills required to conduct HAZOP studies effectively. By the end of the program, attendees will be equipped to enhance process safety, mitigate risks, and support compliance with industry safety standards.
