Hazard and Operability Studies

HAZOP uses a multidisciplined team approach in a free thinking and questioning environment.  It uses guidewords to prompt consideration of the causes and consequences of deviations from the normally expected state.

Vectra Group is able to provide you with a complete service to support your programme for HAZOPs, Hazard Studies and other hazard identification methods.  We can help and facilitate your in-house teams from the initial stages of a project, including the selection of appropriate methods, through to action completion and close out.

This is backed up by Vectra’s complete Risk Management capability, including Risk Assessment, and Health, Safety and Environmental Management Systems.
