Detailed Information
Why this HAZOP Training Course?
Abhisam is the global pioneer in creating e-learning self paced courses for engineers and technicians all over the world. The Abhisam HAZOP Course has been taken by hundreds of engineers and safety professionals, all over the world. This ecourse is the only one that explains the technique in so much detail, using easy to understand animations and simulations of actual process conditions. Therefore you have practical and detailed examples of how to do HAZOP analysis, of typical unit operations that take place everyday in facilities all over the world, such as tank truck unloading operations, or batch reactor operations. You also have sample HAZOP worksheets that you can use to make your own templates for creating your HAZOP reports.
This ecourse is an online training program that will not only teach you the technique by itelf, but also important management aspects, so that you can be a HAZOP Facilitator or HAZOP Scribe yourself. There is a separate module on these management aspects, with a situational video that gives you clues on how to handle these issues yourself, when you become a HAZOP Leader.
This online course also covers CHAZOP, which stands for Computer HAZOP or Control HAZOP and is done on the Control Systems of a plant, be they a DCS (Distributed Control System), or a PLC-SCADA system (Programmable Logic Controller and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System) or a SIS (Safety Instrumented System). Most training courses do not cover this at all. You can get actual real life templates that you can use to conduct and lead your own CHAZOP Studies.
