Risk Identification : Hazard Identification Analysis
The hazard identification (HAZID) technique is used to identify all hazards with the potential to cause a major accident. Hazard identification should be done in the early stage of the project and be conducted in the conceptual and front-end engineering stages. HAZID is a technique involving the use of trained and experienced personnel to determine the hazards associated with a project. Significant risks can be chosen through HAZID by screening all of the identified risks. The technique is also used to assess potential risks at an early stage of the project.
