Online Course: The Stream-Based HAZOP Method

---

HAZOP is the most commonly used process hazard analysis (PHA) method.  But the HAZOP method has many flaws.  The Stream-Based HAZOP method corrects the main flaws.  Our method is more effective.  It requires much less session time (though significantly more prework).  It is much less repetitive and hence, is far less tedious for the participants.

The main difference is that the Stream-Based HAZOP Process is a two-phase process that utilizes different node definitions, stream-based nodes, for the flow deviation discussions. 

Why Attend

HAZOP is the most commonly applied and most important PHA method. It is important to get it right. But the process is flawed. This online course provides an introduction to the standard HAZOP process, identifies some of the flaws with the process, and demonstrates how the Stream-Based HAZOP process corrects those flaws.

Learning Level

Basic level courses require little to no knowledge of the topic discussed. Entry level engineers and engineers that know little of the subject or need a refresher may benefit from this type of course.
