SYNOPSIS

A Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study is a basic risk assessment tool taught to countless legions of students by countless legions of academia. However, as the German military strategist Helmuth von Moltke noted, no battle plan survives contact with the enemy.

This presentation will ramble around discussing pitfall, pointers and practicalities that can help smooth out the implementation of a HAZOP in real life scenarios. It will highlight what the presenter understands about HAZOP as executed by fresh graduate engineers, and what actually working engineers think.
