Formation and Development of the «Hazard and Operability Studies» as a Method of Accident Risk Analysis
EDN: GGSWYU
Abstract
The formation of the method "Hazard and operability studies" (HAZOP) from 1960 to 2024, is considered. The contribution to the development of the method of foreign institutes and companies "Imperial Chemical industries", "Institute of Chemical Engineers", "American Institute of Chemical Engineers", as well as Russian state supervisory authorities and commercial organizations is indicated. The fundamental difference between the tasks related to the analysis of the risk of accidents and the analysis of the risk of achieving the project goals, which are combined in the canonical version of the method, is emphasized. This creates some confusion in the use of methodological documents created to solve some problems when solving problems in a completely different direction. The limitations, possibilities and prospects of the betting method for solving of accident risk analysis problems are demonstrated. Possible additions to the method with special tools or the use of other methods of accident risk analysis are considered.
