Introduction to HAZOP

This introductory HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) training course is designed to equip engineers, safety professionals, and operations staff with a solid understanding of HAZOP studies and their vital role in process safety. Delivered by industry experts and accredited by IChemE, the course explains the principles, purpose, and structure of a HAZOP, giving you the knowledge needed to participate effectively in risk assessments.

You'll learn the origins of the HAZOP methodology, how it fits within a broader process safety framework, and the responsibilities of each team member involved. The course uses real-world examples to show how HAZOP identifies potential hazards and operational issues before they become incidents—ensuring safer, more efficient processes.

Whether you’re new to HAZOP or need a refresher, this course provides practical, applicable knowledge to improve your contribution to safety-critical discussions.

Discounts available for group bookings – save more when you purchase multiple seats for your team. Ideal for organisations committed to building internal process safety expertise.
