Setting up HAZOP Checklist Items

A HAZOP checklist item represents an abnormal operating condition, such as high flow, low level, or incorrect valve positioning. Checklist items are listed in SIF and HAZOP analyses, where failure modes can be created to assess causes, effects, consequence severity, risk levels, and more.

By default, all checklist items are shown in SIF and HAZOP analyses and templates, where the analysis team can mark them “Included” if they apply to the failure mode or “Excluded” if they are not relevant. On the checklist definition, you can control whether the item is shown as included or excluded by default. You can also prevent it from being shown in analyses, templates, or both.

This topic explains how to set up a HAZOP checklist item.
