Control Hazard and Operability Study (CHAZOP) is a procedure for carrying the safety and reliability analysis of existing or planned Control and Computer systems. The execution of a CHAZOP can take several forms depending on the focus and goal of the study. A CHAZOP can be performed to support the overall process hazard analysis or to determine the reliability of the control system, in addition it can be executed with several different techniques. The variety of choices can be managed by careful preparation and setting clear objectives. This webinar will provide a general overview of CHAZOP methodologies along with several examples that demonstrate the various approaches that can be taken.
