Brochure: Control Hazard and Operability Study (CHAZOP)


Control Hazard and Operability Study (CHAZOP) is a procedure for carrying the safety and reliability analysis
of existing or planned Control and Computer systems. The technique is similar to, and has been adopted from
the Hazard and Operability analysis (HAZOP) procedure that is widely used and is very successful for process
plants.
With CHAZOP we review how Control and Computer systems can fail and deviate from design. We also
review the consequences of the deviations. We then review whether the existing safeguards are adequate to
prevent the consequences or whether design changes are required.
The duration of the training is one day. Exida will provide all course material including case studies and
exercises. The first half of the training consists of background information, general theory and procedures
associated with CHAZOPS. The second half consists of a workshop in which all participants will be involved in
completing a CHAZOP for a typical Control and Computer System found in a Petrochemical plant.
This course can be scheduled and customized to suit the requirements of your organization.
