HAZID, or Hazard Identification, is a structured process for identifying potential hazards and their consequences in a system or process. It's a well-known methodology for risk identification and is often used in the early stages of a project's lifecycle.
The goal of a HAZID is to:
Recognize and document all potential hazards
Evaluate the severity and likelihood of each hazard
Ensure that the process design accounts for hazardous scenarios
Review safeguards to mitigate the risk of identified hazards
A HAZID study is typically conducted by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in different aspects of the system or process. The team uses a brainstorming workshop format to consider various scenarios and identify hazards. The workshop may include: Reviewing the study terms of reference, Recording sessions, Reviewing facilities and operations, and Setting ground rules.
The HAZID study report becomes a permanent record that can be referred to by those not part of the team
