1. Project
HAZID & Risk Assessment Workshop Process

2. Introduction
Purpose
To identify the Safety Hazards and Accident Sequences
To determine the Severity and Probability - Initial Risk Classification - of the resulting accidents impacting on Personnel and the Environment
To identify safeguards (mitigations) which will eliminate or reduce the Severity or Probability of an Accident
To determine the Severity and Probability – Projected Risk Classification – following the application of the mitigations above

3. Risk Management Process Overview
Minimum Scope of Todays meeting
If Time Permits

4. Scope of Safety Assessment
Includes:
Hazards to Personnel (Ships Crew and Third Parties) & Environmental hazards.
Excludes:
Damage or loss of equipment where this does not affect safety to personnel.
Loss of capability where this does not directly affect safety to personnel.
Battle damage, war-fighting effectiveness, countermeasures.
Excludes training and shore side facilities.

5. Overview of HAZID and Risk Assessment

6. Terminology Cause – An initiating event that may cause a Hazard
Hazard - A physical situation or state of a system, often following an initiating event, that may lead to an Accident.
Accident - An unintended event or sequence of events that causes harm.
Accident Sequence - The progression of events that results in an accident.
Risk - Combination of the likelihood and the severity of that harm.
Hazard Identification - The process of identifying and listing the hazards and accidents associated with Support activities
Risk Assessment - The systematic use of available information to classify a risk.
Mitigation - A measure that, when implemented, eliminates or reduces risk.

7. Hazard and Risk Assumptions
Assumptions made at the INITIAL RISK CLASSIFICATION
The Ship is operated by the Royal Navy in accordance with RN standard procedures.
Systems / Equipment’s are installed, set to work, operated and maintained in accordance with Manufacturer’s instructions.
Systems / Equipment’s are operated in accordance with extant CCUs, CSES, declared operating limits etc.
Personnel receive suitable and sufficient information and training for the role that they will perform.
Personnel receive career training in their specialisation, however there is no platform specific training
NOTE: Experience, unless quantifiable as knowledge/training, is not a valid mitigation.

11. For an Effective HAZID
This meeting is a group or peers who have been given the responsibility to assess the issues. Give freely of your experience.
Frank and open discussion. Brainstorm on the basis that no question is considered to be stupid no matter how unbelievable it sounds.
Say what you think, even if you don’t agree.
Don’t try and re-design the System or solve the potential operational issues at this meeting.
Don’t get carried away.
Focus on the issue and confine discussion to the subject. Which is preliminary hazard identification.
The success of this meeting depends on the level of involvement from this study team.
