    Diference Between HAZID and HAZOP

    HAZID and HAZOP are both risk analysis tools used in workplaces, but they have distinct purposes. HAZOP identifies abnormalities and root causes in complex operations that could result in injury or loss of life. HAZID is a general risk analysis tool that alerts management to any threats or hazards on a jobsite. While HAZOP requires documentation and is used for comprehensive operations, HAZID can be done at a unit level with less documentation and examines all potential hazard sources during various project phases.

    Both HAZID and HAZOP are risk analysis tools used in workplace settings.


    They are, however, separated procedures with distinct purposes:

     HAZOP (Hazard and Operabiltiy Study) is used to identify


    abnormalities in the work environment and pinpoint their root
    causes
     HAZID (Hazard Identification) is a general risk analysis tool
    designed to alert management of any threats and hazards on the
    jobsite

    A HAZOP study is a well-documented process that is part of a Quantitative


    Risk Assessment (QRA).

    HAZID, on the other hand, can be carried out at a unit level and does not
    necessarily require much documentation.

    Let's take a closer look at each procedure to better tease them apart.

    Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Study

    HAZOP deals with comprehensive and complex workplace operations,


    which in case of malfunctions could lead to significant injury or loss of life.
    HAZOP studies are mainly used in the oil and gas, chemical,
    pharmaceutical, and nuclear industries.

    The purpose of a HAZOP study is to review and study designs to identify


    and rectify engineering issues that could have been overlooked. It is
    performed by breaking complex process designs into smaller and less
    complex sections called "nodes" and reviewing those nodes individually.

    HAZOP helps organizations deal with the following:

     Addressing probable hazards in business operations


     Studying past incidents that had the possibility for catastrophic
    consequences
     Increasing sampling and testing frequency
     Addressing human-controlled factors
     Addressing consequences of failed control measures, including
    possible health and safety risks

    HAZOP studies are performed by teams consisting of experts in areas such


    as operations, maintenance, engineering, instrumentation, and process
    design. The size of the team will depend on the process or procedure to be
    evaluated.

    Hazard Identification (HAZID)

    HAZID is a general risk analysis tool designed to alert management to


    threats and hazards as soon as possible. The identified hazards are
    classified on their probability of occurrence and the severity of the
    consequences.

    HAZID procedures generally examine all practically potential sources of


    hazard during project design, construction, installation, and
    decommissioning activities. Once the procedure is complete, the HAZID
    report serves as a permanent record that can be referred to as needed.

    The procedure should be performed by a qualified team who are experts


    on the process, materials, and work activities. They consist of subject
    matter experts from engineering, operations, maintenance, and other
    departments.

    Once the study is complete, management decides whether to implement


    the suggested risk reduction measures to achieve its risk goals.

    The objectives of HAZID are to:

     Identify potential hazards


     Assess the possible consequences of the hazards
     Identify existing safeguards
     Recommend prevention, control, or mitigation methods
     Provide risk inputs and safety advice to design and safety
    management
     Draft clear guidelines for accident event screening
