4.1 Objective an! Scope (n a !ery broad sense4 HAZOP re!ie" is meant to identify any actions re%uired to alle!iate or remo!e any potential hazards or operability problems for the sub-ect plant . unit# Proper recording and reporting of the HAZOP re!ie" discussion is considered an integral part of the ob-ecti!e of HAZOP re!ie"# The scope of the HAZOP re!ie" shall be clearly stated in the HAZOP re!ie" (nfo Pac' document# As a guideline4 items such as positioning of safety sho"ers4 !al!e accessibility4 handling of process and "aste chemicals etc# are not included in a HAZOP re!ie"# 4.2 "eam #ompo ition (n order to carry out an effecti!e HAZOP it is necessary to ha!e a balanced multidiscipline team# T"o types of capability are re%uired to ha!e an effecti!e HAZOP re!ie" discussion& )etailed technical 'no"ledge of the process e#g# chemistry of the process4 process unit operations4 process control and automation etc# 6no"ledge and e7perience of applying the highly structured4 systematic HAZOP techni%ues#

The Team 8eader (also sometimes 'no"n as 9hairperson . $acilitator) of the HAZOP team should be selected for his . her ability to effecti!ely lead the HAZOP re!ie" and ha!e sufficient seniority to gi!e the re!ie" recommendations the proper le!el of authority# (deally the Team 8eader should be someone independent of the pro-ect# $or proper recording of the HAZOP re!ie" discussion points a HAZOP secretary should be part of the HAZOP re!ie" team# The HAZOP secretary should be technically %ualified to understand the HAZOP re!ie" discussion and also familiar "ith the HAZOP techni%ue# ,ecretary should be preferably from Process )iscipline#
