How To Develop Risk Matrix in The HAZOP

1) An item in a HAZOP study on an LPG storage and offloading system was identified that could lead to a fire or explosion. The initial risk was rated as having a severity of 4 (catastrophic) and likelihood of 3 (moderate), giving an initial risk level of 12. 2) Existing safeguards like the storage tank design and pressure safety valve slightly reduced the severity and likelihood, lowering the residual risk to a severity of 3 and likelihood of 1, giving a residual risk level of 3. 3) Recommendations to add further detection and mitigation systems could further reduce the final risk to a severity of 2 and likelihood of 1, reducing the final risk level to 2.

1) Initial Risk
• Severity is the level of Consequences.
Example: Severity to people is 4.
• Likelihood is the probability of Cause to occur.
Example: Likelihood is 3.
2) Residual Risk
• Severity level will be decreased due to the existence of Mitigation Safeguard. The Severity could be decrease one or two level depend on the amount of
Mitigation Safeguard.
Example: “Gas detection system” will soften the consequence by stopping more gas release and if ignited only small fire occur. The Severity could be
decrease one level.
• Likelihood level will be decreased due to the existence of Prevention Safeguard. The likelihood could be decrease one or two level depend on the
amount of Prevetion Safeguard.
Example: “Fully rated, PAHH and PSV” will prevent leakage or rupture, and then no gas will be relased. The Likelihood could be decrease two level.
3) Final Risk
• Severity level will be decreased due to the existence of Mitigation Recommendation. The Severity could be decrease one or two level depend on the
amount of Mitigation Recommendation.
Example: “Fire fighting system” will soften the fire impact or suppress the fire. The Severity could be decrease one level.
• Likelihood level will be decreased due to the existence of Prevention Recommendation. The likelihood could be decrease one or two level depend on the
amount of Prevetion Recommendation.
Example:

Note:
✓ Prevention is measures to prevent Cause or Consequence to occur.
✓ Mitigation is measures to soften the impact of the Consequence.
