Whenever HAZOP study is the chosen technique, its use should be

justified on the basis of complexity, inherent hazards, or the costs of


the operation. While HAZOP study is ideally suited to novel processes,
hazardous process or complex processes, it can equally be used in
simple and repeat designs although there may be fewer benefits.
Considerable benefits can also be found from its use for modifications
or for change of use of plant.
More information on the techniques used for hazard identification
and the way in which these relate to an overall process for risk assessment
is given by Pitblado16 and by Crawley and Tyler.2
2.10 ILLUSTRATIVE CHECKLIST FOR HS 2
An example of a checklist for use at conclusion of HS 2 to ensure common problems
have been considered and are covered before the
detailed design work begins.
� Are piping materials of construction in compliance with codes?
� Are spec breaks in the correct place? Are high- to low-pressure
interfaces identified and given the correct treatment?
� Is the mass balance measured and achieved by the controls?
� Do any control parameters require independent verification?
� Do the protective systems (and SIS where appropriate) give adequate
protection against the known hazards?
� Do SIS shut downs have pre-alarms?
� Have low flow conditions at start-up and shut down been addressed?
Are any vents, recycle lines, and bypasses required?
� Are the standards of isolation appropriate for the risks?
� Is lagging appropriate to the piping codes?
� Are maintenance vents and drains shown?
� Are there traps in vessels that may need special features for entry?
� Are there any possible settling out points in piping or equipment
which may need treatment?
� Has over pressure protection been applied as appropriate?
� Does the over/under pressure relief indicated look �adequate�?
� Is the design of the relief collection consistent? Can incompatible
materials mix in the system?
� Do the vents go to a safe location?
� Do the drains go to a safe capture system?
8 HAZOP: Guide to Best Practice� Is the design of the vent collection consistent?
Can incompatible
materials mix in the vent system?
� Is the design of the drain collection consistent? Can incompatible
materials mix in the drain system?
� Are the main parameters (pressure, temperature, flow, and level)
adequately controlled and are there adequate diagnostics to assess
problems?
� Are line slopes shown and are they appropriate?
� Are there any pockets in the lines which may require drains?
� Are liquid capture bunds required anywhere for S or E requirements?
