Hazard and risk Analyses (HAZOP/PAAG)

The PAAG method (HAZOP Hazard and Operability) is a worldwide recognized method for systematically identifying hazards and minimizing risks. The implementation of an HAZOP requires an exact knowledge of the system to be assessed. In addition to the understanding of the method and experience in the methodology, detailed knowledge about the functioning of all components, auxiliary systems and subsystems is also required. In an interdisciplinary team of experts, the possible deviations from the intended operation of a plant are analyzed, possible causes are discovered, the resulting effects are estimated and adequate counter-measures are defined according to a previously defined system. The result of such a disturbance analysis is a hazard analysis, which then becomes part of the safety report.

Maxdrey advises and supports you with the preparation, guidance, “facilitation (moderation in Germany) and documentation of HAZOP sessions, as well as concepts for plant safety or proof management. Our experts are there for you.
