ILO Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems

(ILO-OSH 2001)

[ Back to the Management Systems menu ]
The ILO Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems are the result of extended international consultations held during the last year. They were examined and adopted at a Meeting of Experts held in Geneva from 19 to 27 April 2001. The Governing Body of the ILO approved the text of the Guidelines for publication at its 281st Session (June 2001).
The Guidelines are available in printed format at ILO Publications and in PDF format on this site (see below) in many languages.

HAZOP / HAZAN

The techniques of Hazop and Hazan were developed to identify and assess hazards in the process industries. Their use leads to safer plant, the elimination of many operational problems at the design stage, and improvements in reliability. They will only be effective, however, if there is a commitment to safety at all levels in an organization. Understanding the practical issues involved in the correct implementation of these techniques is the theme of this book.

Hazop and Hazan: Identifying and Assessing Process Industry Hazards by Trevor Kletz, now in its fourth edition, provides the basics of applying hazard and operability study (Hazop) and hazard analysis (Hazan). Substantially revised and updated, this classic, easily accessible introduction to the subject provides essential reading for everyone who needs to know about process safety - from undergraduates through to working engineers - providing plenty of practical advice from the author and more examples of Hazop and Hazan applications.

HAZOP's and HAZAN's are now well established tools in the reduction of Risks.

HAZOP is a formal technique engaging the operator and designer and any other experts on the process to review possible hazards and operating problems that may arise. A HAZOP study brings together the combined experiences of the study team stimulating each other and building upon each others ideas in a systematic way

HAZAN, similar to the risk reduction analyses it consists of three steps:

	Estimate how often the incident will occur
	Estimate the consequence to Employees The public and and the environment Plant and profit
	Compare the results of the above frequency and consequence with a target or criterion normally based on the principles of ‘As Low As Reasonably Possible’ (ALARP)

Hazard and operability study

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hazard and operability studies are a methodology for identifying and dealing with potential problems in industrial processes, particularly those which would create a hazardous situation or a severe impairment of the process. It is commonly known as HAZOP^[1]. Some authors call it Hazard and Operability Analysis^[2]. It is said to be the most widely used method of hazard analysis in the process industries^[3], notably the chemical, petrochemical and nuclear industries. It is the subject of an international standard^[4] and is listed as a “suitable methodology” in US Federal Regulations^[5].

Hazard analysis

A hazard analysis is a process used to assess risk. The results of a hazard analysis is the identification of unacceptable risks and the selection of means of controlling or eliminating them. The term is used in several engineering specialties, including avionics, chemical process safety, safety engineering and food safety. Alternative definitions include:

Identification, studies and monitoring of any hazard to determine its potential, origin, characteristics and behaviour. [1]

The process of collecting and evaluating information on hazards associated with the food under consideration to decide which are significant and must be addressed in the HACCP plan. [2]

An analysis or identification of the hazards which could occur at each step in the process, and a description and implementation of the measures to be taken for their control. [3]
