Chapter 4c HAZOPS
Strengths of HAZOPS:
a) HAZOP is systematic and flexible.
b) Suitable to incorporate the general experience available.
c) Good identification of cause.
d) Use of keywords allow participation of whole group
e) Used to study large plant in a specific manner.
f) HAZOP identifies all significant deviations on the plant, all
major accidents should be identified.
Weakness of HAZOPS:
a) It tends to be very time consuming and be boring.
b) It tends to be hardware-oriented and process-oriented.
c) It tends to generate failures with insignificant consequences
and generate many failure events.
d) HAZOP does not identify all causes of deviations and omit
many scenarios.
e) It takes a little account of the probabilities of events or
consequences. The group generally let their collective
experiences decide whether deviations are meaningful.
f) HAZOP is poor where multiple-combination events can have
severe effects. It tends to assume defects of materials of
construction.
