| Abstract |
The major accidents (fires, explosions, release of dangerous substances into the environment) in recent years involving industrial plants have made both the authorities and industries aware of the need for new and more efficient methods of accident prevention. This has led to the development of major hazard analytical procedures starting at the planning stage and then continuing through the whole life of the plant. This article describes the HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Studies) method and covers the procedures, the different stages of application and the analysis of the results obtained. Numerous charts are included in the article. |
