How to Perform CHAZOP for Process Control Systems

This training is offered as an eLearning course for individual registration

1.5 to 2 hours | $199

Many processes today are automated and computer control systems play vital roles in their safe operation. The importance of computer control systems merits the performance of hazard analysis explicitly on them. Special techniques, such as the computer hazard and operability (CHAZOP) study, have been developed for this purpose.

This course teaches participants how to use CHAZOP, What-If, and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify hazard scenarios originating in control systems. Preparation, organization and conduct of studies are covered.

What you will learn:

  • Why hazard analysis is needed for control systems

  • How CHAZOP, What-If and FMEA are used for control systems

  • What types of failures occur in control systems

  • Who should participate in CHAZOP studies

  • What information is needed for CHAZOP studies

  • What process deviations should be addressed

  • How control systems should be noded

  • How risk can be reduced in control systems

Who Should Attend

Personnel responsible for hazard analysis of control systems, participants in CHAZOP studies, automation professionals.

Average Duration
