IEM Shout Out – 2019-07 One Day Course on “HAZOP Training for Team Members”

June 17, 2019

My technical division will be hosting a 1 day course on the 16th July 2019. It is worth 6.5 CPD points, and held at Wisma IEM. The course will be presented by myself

A Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study is a formal, systematic and detailed examination of new or existing facilities. It focusses on the process, rather than risks from ‘outside the pipe’, which are better analysed using other studies such as HIREC/ HAZID/ HER. A HAZOP assesses the hazard potential, causes and consequences on a facility when there are deviations to the operating conditions, or the manner of operations. Existing safeguards need are reviewed to determine whether they can eliminate the cause or minimise the consequence.

This full day course is designed to educate participants in the HAZOP process from the perspective of a HAZOP team member.

Ir. Razmahwata has 20 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, in both design and operations. He has upstream and downstream experience in process safety, measurement and allocation, process engineering, offshore technical support, and is also a training provider. He has conducted Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) and HSE Case workshops, for example HAZID, HAZOP, Hazards & Effects Register (HER), BowTie, safety critical element (SCE) /   performance standard (PS) reviews. Ir. Razmahwata is currently a Director of IGL Services Sdn. Bhd. His current technical roles involve leading technical safety assessments and workshops, measurement and allocation reviews, and providing training on HAZOP, SIL and SIL LOPA methods.
