Qualitative Hazards Analysis includes facilitation, recording and supporting Hazard and Operability Studies, What-If Assessments, Failure Mode and Effects Studies, Layers of Protection Analysis, and more. These studies focus on deviations from desired operating conditions that could potentially harm personnel, the environment, or the business.
Operating companies are often challenged with making the right decision in balancing safe and reliable plants with limited financial resources. Qualitative studies can save companies money by not only averting risks, but also by identifying opportunities to prioritize safeguards through risk-ranking techniques.
Other studies, such as a Layers of Protection Analysis, can even identify if too much capital is being spent on systems where existing safeguards are sufficient.
