HAZID

A HAZID study is an early design tool used to identify occupational, facility, and external hazards. It involves a structured brainstorming session with design and client personnel from various engineering disciplines. Key benefits include revealing safety and environmental hazards early to avoid delays and costs, ensuring hazards are addressed and safeguards put in place, and having an auditable record of identified hazards and responses. Bureau Veritas has extensive experience performing over 500 HAZID studies worldwide for oil and gas facilities and can customize an approach tailored to a client's needs and location.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION STUDY (HAZID)
A powerful tool for identifying occupational, facility,
and external hazards.
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Most government licensing authorities require operating companies to carry out Health & Safety and
Environmental (HSE) studies during the design of facilities, as well as prior to construction and during
operation.
Hazard studies carried out late in the design phase, such as Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP),
often identify safety and environmental issues that can cause project delays or costly design changes.
Therefore, many clients require hazard study during early design so that hazards can be avoided or
reduced.

SOLUTION
What is HAZID?
HAZID study is a tool for hazard identification, used early in a project as soon as process flow diagrams,
draft heat and mass balances, and plot layouts are available. Existing site infrastructure, weather, and
geotechnical data are also required, these being a source of external hazards.
The method is a design-enabling tool, acting to help organise the HSE deliverables in a project.
The structured brainstorming technique typically involves designer and client personnel engineering
disciplines, project management, commissioning and operations. The main major findings and hazard
ratings help to deliver HSE compliance, and form part of the project Risk Register required by many
licensing authorities.
What are the key benefits?
A well-organised HAZID study activity will deliver a good identification of hazards and safeguards at an
early stage in the design of a facility. Team output helps ensure that:
HSE hazards are revealed at an early stage in the project, before significant costs have been
incurred;
Hazards are recorded and actioned so that they can be avoided, mitigated or highlighted during
design;
Action responses are auditable by Management and Legislative Inspectorates;
Design or Construction delays and budget over-runs are avoided;
Fewer hazards remain un-revealed at commissioning & operation of plant.
