April 14, 2014- For those of you who wish to know and
understand more about HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study)
and associated stuff, there are basically three ways to do it. Here is a list of them with their associated advantages and disadvantages:
a)
Surf the web- just like you likely found this page while searching for
terms like HAZOP or HAZOP Study free pdf.There will be hundreds or even
thousands of articles that range from the fairly easy to understand to
the completely complex ones which may leave you gasping for breath (or
bored enough to go to sleep). Also the variety and scope will be mind
boggling. You will learn all the jargon though...to impress your friends
who have no idea about HAZOP studies.
b) Read a book.
There are a few about Risk Assessment and HAZOP. None of them covers
everything though, so you will have to buy at least three of them to
learn anything of value. Of course even if you read them and understand
the concepts, you will have nothing in your hand that proves to the
world that you know your stuff!
c) Download the HAZOP e-learning course from Abhisam, that covers everything about HAZOP
in one, short, easy to understand course. There are several animations
and simulations that explain key concepts and make this difficult to
understand subject very easy to learn. Besides you can take their online
exam and get a Certificate of Competency too, on passing!
