Process Risk Studies

There are several different types of Process Safety Studies that can be conducted. The most common types that we undertake are:

PHA – Process Hazard Analysis PHA, or Process Hazard Analysis, is a systematic method used to identify and evaluate potential hazards associated with chemical processes. It involves examining the design, operation, and maintenance of a process to identify any conditions or scenarios that could lead to accidents or harm to personnel, the environment, or assets. PHA aims to proactively mitigate risks and enhance safety by implementing appropriate control measures and safeguards.

Key Features

  • Multi-Disciplinary Teams
  • Strategic identification of areas of risk
  • Proposal of enhancements to fortify process safety protocols.
  • Risk Prioritization
  • Generation of targeted action items and / or action plans specific in nature
  • Inclusive approach across diverse organizational disciplines
  • Documentation & Reporting
  • Periodic Review and Update

HAZOPS – Hazard Operability study HAZOP is a systematic method used to identify potential hazards and operability issues in chemical process systems. It involves a multidisciplinary team scrutinizing each element of a system to uncover deviations from the intended design conditions that could lead to hazards or operational problems. Through a series of guided brainstorming sessions, HAZOP aims to enhance safety, reliability, and efficiency in process operations.

Key Features

  • Structured identification of potential hazards and operability issues
  • Facilitate a multi-disciplinary team approach
  • Guide words & Parameters.
  • Node Identification
  • Identification of Deviations
  • Risk Assessment Documentation & Reporting
  • Follow Up for Implementation

QRA – Quantitative Risk Assessment QRA is a comprehensive analysis methodology used to quantify and evaluate risks associated with industrial processes, including chemical plants, oil refineries, and other high-risk facilities. It involves the systematic evaluation of potential hazards, their frequencies, consequences, and associated risks. QRA integrates probabilistic methods to provide numerical estimations of risk levels, aiding in decision-making for risk management and mitigation strategies.

Key Features

  • Utilises a mathematical model and probabilistic method to quantify Risk.
  • Evaluate Likelihood and Severity / consequence.
  • Provide a quantitative basis for risk comparison and prioritization.
  • Considers various scenarios and uncertainties in the risk assessment process.
  • Enables decision -making for risk reduction measures.
  • Supports cost-benefit analysis of risk mitigation options.

PSSR- Pre-Startup Safety Review is a structured process conducted before commissioning or restarting a process facility to ensure that all safety-critical systems, procedures, and controls are in place and functioning correctly. It involves verifying that the process equipment, instrumentation, and operating procedures meet design specifications and regulatory requirements to prevent incidents during startup activities.

Key Features

  • Comprehensive evaluation of startup process including equipment Integrity & safety system functionality, and operator training
  • Physical Inspection by multi-disciplinary teams in coordination
  • Ensuring Operational Readiness
  • Structured risk mitigation
  • Documentation & Regulatory compliance.

FAQS

A HAZOP study (Hazard and Operability Study) is a structured risk analysis method used to identify potential hazards and operability issues in industrial processes. It systematically examines deviations from design intent to prevent accidents, process failures, and regulatory non-compliance.

HAZOP analysis helps high-risk industries like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and oil & gas proactively identify failure scenarios before incidents occur. It strengthens process safety, supports compliance, reduces downtime, and demonstrates due diligence during audits and regulatory inspections.

A HAZOP study identifies process hazards and operational risks, while a HAZOP gap analysis evaluates whether existing safeguards, procedures, and controls adequately address those risks. A gap analysis highlights missing actions, outdated controls, or compliance shortfalls that need to be addressed.

Organizations should conduct a hazard and operability study during new plant design, process modifications, capacity expansions, technology changes, or after major incidents. Periodic revalidation is also recommended to ensure risks remain controlled as operations evolve.

A HAZOP safety analysis should involve a multidisciplinary team including process engineers, operations, maintenance, EHS professionals, and an experienced facilitator. This cross-functional approach ensures practical risk identification and realistic control recommendations.

HAZOP studies support compliance by documenting systematic hazard identification and risk mitigation. Regulators and auditors often expect evidence of HAZOP or similar process hazard analyses to meet requirements under OSHA, ISO 45001, and global process safety standards.

Common HAZOP gaps include outdated operating procedures, inadequate interlocks, insufficient alarms, missing training, weak permit-to-work integration, and undocumented risk severities. Addressing these gaps improves both safety performance and audit readiness.

Organizations can improve HAZOP effectiveness by using experienced facilitators, standardized methodologies, digital documentation, and structured follow-up tracking. Expert-led HAZOP gap analysis services, such as those offered by TECH EHS, help convert findings into actionable safety improvements.
