Introduction:

A HAZID workshop is a structured, multidisciplinary review conducted at the early stages of a project to systematically identify potential hazards and major accident scenarios. It brings together experienced personnel from various disciplines – including process, operations, safety, and engineering – to evaluate risks associated with the facility, activities, and surrounding environment.

Purpose:

The main objectives of the HAZID Study include the following:

• Identification of potential hazardous events, both internal and external, that can endanger personnel, assets and environment;
• Evaluate the causes and potential consequences of all identified potential hazards; and
• Evaluate the adequacy of safety measures provided, and make recommendations as required to reduce the risks.

Outcomes

• Hazard register with ranked risks
• Early risk mitigation measures
• Input to design basis and further safety studies
