Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Study for Analyzing Disaster Risk Reduction in Hazardous Chemical Industrial Unit

Authors(2) :-Kunal Sharma, Dr. Anil K Gupta

One of the accessions to get an outline for disaster risk based decision making in chemical industrial units is Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP) study. HAZOP methodology will be useful as a tool in assessing elementary study to investigate the disaster risk reduction based decision making for hazardous chemical industrial units. Hazardous chemical industrial units in present international scenario acts as a major component for increasing disaster risk and vulnerability for the environment & people. Outcome of this study will explain the potential hazards as well as vulnerability and the possible consequences of incidents in industrial unit which increases the chances of disaster due to failures using HAZOP as preceding analysis.
