6. Introduction and Scope


6.1 WHAT IS HAZOP
Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) is a structured and systematic technique for identifying
hazards and operating problems through reviewing process drawings and/or procedures.

A series of parameter and guide word filters are used to structure the brainstorming process by a
multi- discipline team; this process should facilitate the finding of any foreseeable deviations.

HAZOP analysis is typically executed in 4 phases:


a) Phase 1: Definition / Identify
b) Phase 2: Preparation
c) Phase 3: Examination / Execute
d) Phase 4: Documentation and Follow-Up

This will be further explained in Section 3.

There is often confusion between HAZID and HAZOP. Both are hazard identification and risk
assessment tools used during projects or operational activities. The main difference is HAZOP is
focussing on the process and operability of the equipment and/or system, while HAZID is generally
focused on the physical hazard factor of the activity, and less on the impact to the process system.

6.2 HAZOP TIMING AND COMPLEXITY


6.2.1 Project HAZOP

When required by Project Specification 01 (PG01), HAZOP study is considered an integral part
of the project activity. It should be planned throughout the ORP lifecycle of a project. Figure 1
below shows the general sequence of HAZOP studies through a project.
Figure 1 – Sequence of HAZOP studies.

Form: Procedure Form Code: Fo-HSE-01 Issue# (2) Rev. (0) Rev Date: 7 Apr 2019

HAZOP Procedure
Issue Revision
1 March 2020
Procedure Code: PR-HSE-36 1

There are 3 HAZOPs that should be carried out:


1. Coarse HAZOP
To review the selected process functionality, specifications and operability, to identify
major hazards and to explore opportunities of alternative options towards an inherently
safe design prior to detailed design. This is typically done in Select or early Define
Phase.
2. Main HAZOP
To assess the design of the project and shall be done during Define phase (conceptual
design).
3. Final HAZOP
Similar to main HAZOP, focusing on any changes done to the design. This is typically
done during Execute Phase.
Note that this is applicable for Project only. Requirement whether to carry out all the 3 HAZOP
studies listed above depends on the complexity of the project, and if there are design changes
made in between the Project Phases (Select, Define and Execute) and shall be decided during
developing the Scope and PCAP of Project.

6.2.2 Asset HAZOP


Asset HAZOP, also known as Legacy or Facilities HAZOP, is only valid for maximum 5 years.
Beyond this, revalidation HAZOP needs to be carried out. Relevant outcome from previous
Project or ad-hoc Asset HAZOP done during the 5-year timeline should be used as a reference
during the revalidation exercise.

6.2.3 HAZOP Complexity


Not all activities will require 3 HAZOP studies (as mentioned in Section 2.1). For
example, adhoc operational issues typically require 1 HAZOP studies. However,
complexity of the activity will determine the scale of the HAZOP study required.
Activities / Project shall be assessed on a risk based approach, and depending on:
- Work scope / type
- Specific tasks
- Combined operations
- Maintenance and Inspections
- Stage of the project (FEED, CD or DD)
- Level of difficulties (if there’s any new technologies being used)
As a guide, refer to Table 1 for the example of activities and its level of complexity.

Procedure Code: PR-HSE-36 1

Qualification required for core members of the HAZOP team is mentioned in


Shell DEP (DEM1) 80.00.00.15, Page 17 – 19, Section 4.3.2 and Section 5.1
in this Guideline).
3. As per Shell DEP (DEM1) requirement , it is highly recommended:
a. For new projects, the operations representative should have spent time on a
unit of similar process design (e.g., 5+ years) or have relevant industry
experience (e.g., 10+ years).
b. For existing facilities, the operations representative should have sufficient
experience (e.g., 5+ years) in the unit under review.
4. Additionally, for Operation (Production and Maintenance) Representative, COS/FOS
(Complex Operation Supervisor or Field Operation Supervisor) experience preferred
5. For project that is not done in-house (design done by Consultants), it is beneficial to have
BSP representatives (for the listed discipline) in the workshop, on opportunity basis.

6.3.3 Approved HAZOP Chairperson

“The HAZOP Chairperson SHALL be independent of the project team organization.


Independent in this context means, the appointment Chairperson has a separate
reporting line from the project or asset organization. A Chairperson provided by the EPC
contractor is from a third party that is not a subsidiary of the EPC.”

HAZOP workshop should only be led by approved HAZOP Chairperson, evaluated by


Rashpetco TAs/ assessor. Chairperson is also required to:
1. Pass HAZOP facilitating assessment done by Assessor team. Composition of the
Assessor team will be defined by Rashpetco Technical Safety.
2. Previously attended at least 3 HAZOP for any level of complexity within the last 2 years
3. Become a leader (Chairperson) for at least 1 HAZOP with supervision of an
approved HAZOP Chairperson previously
4. Be aware of any updates of the HAZOP guideline, the HAZOP Chairperson
(Rashpetco and external) should familiarize themselves with the updated
Rashpetco HAZOP Procedure.

Approved Chairperson who is observed to perform poorly by Authorized Person will not
be allowed to lead HAZOP until evidence of re-training and re-assessment is provided.

6.4 HAZOP Preparation


6.4.1 Preparation
Once the need to have HAZOP studies has been identified and scope has been defined,
preparation for the workshop can be carried out.
As per Shell DEP (DEM1) 80.00.00.15:
1. The Chairperson shall prepare, and agree with the Sponsor, a Terms of
Reference (ToR) to define the precise scope of the HAZOP
2. The Chairperson shall be responsible for ensuring that preparation (and
completion) activities are conducted.
HAZOP Coordinator should arrange a HAZOP kick-off meeting between the Authorized
Person, Chairperson and HAZOP Coordinator as a start.
General rule is that 3 P&ID/PEFS is the maximum that may be reviewed in a six-hour
per day session. However, this will depends on the complexity of the process. In many
cases, generally 5 P&ID/PEFS are achievable in a day.
Section 6.4.1.1 outlines the requirement for Term of Reference, ToR.
Preparation of documents/venue shall be done by the HAZOP Coordinator. Appendix
1 summarizes the documents that need to be available for the team during the workshop.
It is recommended to review existing HAZOP close out report, if relevant studies (related
to the project or facilities) had been done previously.

6.4.1.1 Terms of Reference (TOR)


Term of Reference (ToR) shall define the scope that will be covered as part of the
HAZOP studies. Reference to document and drawings shall be made where necessary.
This will be prepared by the Chairperson, with inputs from the Authorized
Person/HAZOP Coordinator.
ToR should be submitted to the Authorized Person for approval. The approved ToR
should be distributed to the HAZOP participants at least 1 week prior to the workshop.
ToR should contain the information outlined in Table 4. Sample of ToR is attached in Appendix
2.

6.5 HAZOP EXECUTE


6.5.1 HAZOP Workshop
List of recommended participants is outlined in Section 6.3.2. As mentioned in the same
section, it is preferable to have experienced team member present during the workshop.
Qualification required for core members of the HAZOP team, as a guide, should be as
follows:
Rashpetco staff Minimum of 5+ years relevant experience in their field

Business Partners (Design Minimum of 10 years relevant experience in their field


Consultant) staff

It is also advisable to have an independent observer present during the workshop. The
intention of having an observer is to give an independent input to the HAZOP workshop
based on the observer’s experience to add value to their findings. Observer is
recommended for Asset revalidation HAZOP and Major HAZOP (for Brownfield and
Greenfield project). The independent Observer can be from BSP or Business Partners
who is not part of the Project / Asset Team and can provide input from cold eyes
perspective during the HAZOP workshop.
Qualification of the observer includes:
- Having minimum 10 years of experience in their field preferably with Process or
Operations (Production and Maintenance) or Technical Safety background.
- Having HAZOP facilitation experience and / or had attended at least 10
HAZOP during his / her career.
- Technical Safety TA2 should be consulted for the selection of the Observer.

The Chairperson has the right to cancel the HAZOP workshop should there be absences
from the core team member or insufficient experience from the team. Refer to Section
6.3.2 for necessary attendees.
At the start of the workshop, it is advisable to have a short introduction of the project,
typically prepared and presented by the HAZOP Coordinator.
Chairperson is responsible for the direction and recording of the sessions. Specific
software (for example common template developed on Microsoft Access, Excel, etc.)
may be used for recording purposes, as per Chairperson’s preference and endorsed by
Authorized Person. Template of HAZOP worksheet can be found in Appendix 3.

Procedure Code: PR-HSE-36 1

For each node, the following item should be recorded:


- Operating conditions, i.e. Operating pressure and temperature
- Maximum and minimum design pressure and temperature
- Node description (design intent)
- PEFS reviewed, etc.

The process hazards that are present in the nodes shall be assessed using the Rashpetco Risk
Assessment Matrix (RAM) based on its composition, pressure and temperature. This is specific to
process hazard of the given node, not for the intention of ranking recommendation/action
item.
Guidewords shall be used as guidance for evaluation of hazard during the workshop. Refer
to Appendix 4 for typical guidewords used during HAZOP.
For any issues or concerns that raised recommendations, a clear description of the
scenario and associated consequences shall be recorded to facilitate understanding of
required action. Close-out of these recommendations is covered in Section 6.6.2.
Team should review the HAZOP recordings at the end of each node to confirm
everything has been recorded accurately.
Any unknown data or information not readily available during the workshop shall be
parked into the observation list (“Parking Lot”). Items in the “Parking Lot” should be
clarified or resolved before the end of HAZOP session.
Recommendations raised should be smart – no multiple actions should be lumped
together with under one recommendation. Risk ranking of the HAZOP recommendations
is not required.
However, level of urgency (High, Medium or Low) for the recommendations raised
should be agreed within the team during the workshop. For existing Asset HAZOP or
Facility Revalidation HAZOP if any recommendation considered as High priority and
required interim resolution it has to be communicated accordingly by HAZOP
Coordinator to the Asset to allow Asset define the interim solution.

6.6 HAZOP FOLLOW UP


6.6.1 HAZOP Report
Chairperson is accountable for the content and technical accuracy of the report. As a
minimum, the report should include the following sections:
a) Background and Scope
b) Objectives
c) Timing and schedule of the workshop
d) Team composition (attendance)
e) Study methodology

For HAZOP done in-house, all recommendation assigned to discipline engineer and other
business functions shall be reviewed and agreed by BSP respective TA2. If the HAZOP was
outsourced, HAZOP report shall be reviewed by Consultant TA2 first, before handed over to
BSP respective TA2 for review and endorsement. All HAZOP report shall be approved by
Technical Safety TA2.
List of deliverables and expected completion is listed in Table 5.

In projects, risk ranking does not help prioritize actions, as actions shall be addressed and
closed by the project with the urgency dependent on the project schedule and when
specific deliverables are complete.
6.6.2 HAZOP Close Out Report
6.6.2.1 HAZOP Close Out

All recommendations raised during the workshop shall be closed out by the action party
assigned. Coordination of close-out shall be done by HAZOP Coordinator (more information
on roles and responsibilities in Section 6.6.2.3 in this Guideline).

Procedure Code: PR-HSE-36 1

Close-out shall be recorded in a Recommendation Close-Out sheet (Appendix 5) and any


responses and evidence (datasheet, drawings, calculation and any relevant document.)
relevant to the each action item shall be kept and/or attached for record.
For in-house project, every action (recommendation) assigned to Rashpetco discipline
engineer and other business functions, all close-out (action resolution) shall be reviewed and
approved by Rashpetco respective TA2, endorsed by Technical Safety TA2, and
acknowledged by the Project Engineer / Operations Support Engineer.
For Consultants (project outsourced), all actions resolution shall be signed off and approved
internally by Lead Discipline Engineer before being submitted to Rashpetco for review. The
review (spot-checks, as a minimum) by BSP respective TA2 is required for quality check of the
action resolution. The action resolution should be endorsed (with signature) by BSP Technical
Safety TA2 and acknowledged by Project Engineer / Operations Support Engineer.
There is no requirement for Rashpetco TA2 to provide a signature/sign-off for the HAZOP
report. Spot- checks or regular engagement (between the Rashpetco Discipline and
Consultant) is a way to ensure quality assurance of the Consultants’ deliverables.

HAZOP Open Action Item and Tracking


Risk ranking using RAM should not be done in HAZOP. However, each action item can be
ranked based on priority – High, Medium or Low. It will be up to the HAZOP team to determine
the priority based on the urgency to close the action item.
For Project HAZOP, priority is based on the scope of the project and its criticality to the design.
Typically, it will be determined by the design team, as agreed with Project.
For Asset HAZOP, priority will be based on the criticality of the item, related hazard risk and
the availability of resources. It is mandatory for action items raised during Asset HAZOP to be
included in Fountain to ensure tracking and proper close-out. High priority items are to be raised
individually, while Medium and Low priority items can be raised under one entry (grouped as
one action).
Tracking of action items should be done by HAZOP Coordinator.
For Project HAZOP, any open actions during Conceptual Design (CD) to be carried forward to
Detailed Design (DD) must be indicated and followed up clearly. Statement of Fitness (SOF) will
not be signed off if there is open action item by the end of DD stage of the Project.
6.6.2.2 Report Outline
HAZOP Close-Out Report shall be prepared by the HAZOP Coordinator. As a minimum, it
should include the following sections:
a) Purpose and Scope
b) Summary of findings (high priority findings)
c) Facilities / Project Description
d) List of Recommendations and Resolutions
