Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HAZOP (Hazard and Operability study) is a risk assessment technique that focuses on identifying potential hazards, their causes and consequences, and determining whether the operating practices and design of a process unit are adequate to mitigate these hazards. It considers the current or anticipated operating conditions and evaluates the overall effectiveness of the unit's design and operations in terms of safety and operability. On the other hand, RBI (Risk-Based Inspection) focuses on inspection strategies for equipment and piping based on their risk levels, RCM (Reliability-Centered Maintenance) focuses on optimizing maintenance tasks and intervals for equipment to improve reliability and minimize downtime, and PHA (Process Hazard Analysis) is a broader risk assessment tool that considers various scenarios and potential hazards in a process system.
