Industrial companies, especially those with complex technological processes, often face numerous operational and technical risks that can lead to failures, downtime or even accidents. Without proper classification analysis and assessment, we are unable to implement measures to reduce potential risks or their effects.
Industrial automation
Hazard analysis<br> and risk assessment
In the history of industry, there have been many catastrophic accidents that could have been avoided by performing an appropriate analysis. Risk analysis is the process of identifying, evaluating and prioritizing potential risks that could affect the achievement of an organization’s goals.
In industry, one of the most common methods for identifying risks is the HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study), where a multidisciplinary team identifies and categorizes individual hazards, according to a predetermined scenario. The risk analysis is applicable in Industrial Automation, where the primary goal is to identify hazards and assessment of the operational capabilities of the control system. C-HAZOP (Control Hazard and Operability Studies) analysis helps minimize the risk of failure, increase safety and optimize production processes.
The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND COUNCIL (EU) 2023/1230 regulation of June 14, 2023, which will take effect from 2027, define risk assessment obligations, vis-à-vis manufacturers of machinery and equipment.
To meet the needs of the market, our company supports manufacturers and end users by performing various types of analysis in the field of risk identification and assessment.

Insufficient
identification of risks
Without properly performed analysis, identification and classification of risks, it is impossible to build systems to reduce risks.
Downtime and breakdowns
Underestimating the identification and assessment of risks can lead to dangerous situations in which the Employer loses control . Based on our knowledge and experience, we help our clients identify risks.
Operational inefficiencies
Lack of risk analysis and implementation of preventive measures is also a problem in the human area. Employees are reluctant to perform tasks being aware of the surrounding.
Implementation process
Step by Step
Hazard analysis, is a process that involves the detailed identification of hazards and evaluation of the operability of control systems. From the initial analysis to the implementation of recommendations, it aims to improve employee safety. Depending on the characteristics of the plant and the client’s preferences, hazard analysis and risk assessment are performed using the following methods:
PHA (Preliminary Hazard Analysis).
HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Studies) – Hazard and Operability Analysis
C-HAZOP (Control Hazard and Operability Studies) – Automation Hazard and Operability Analysis
LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis).
FTA (Fault Tree Analysis).
ETA (Event Tree Analysis).
SIL (Safety Integrity Level).
FSA (Functional Safety Assessment)
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)
RBI (Risk Based Inspection) – Inspection Planning Based on Risk Analysis.

<p>During implementation, on the other hand, they acted with determination, solving successive problems that arose. Faced with the fact that the project was implemented in a difficult market environment, we often had to work together and develop remedies, often through compromise. Also, during the operation of the site, they reacted constructively and quickly to faults as they appeared.</p>
<p>TT-CS has proven itself as a trusted partner in challenging projects. We positively look forward to working together on future mechanical engineering projects.

FAQ
Questions
and answers
In the FAQ section, you will find answers to key questions about our services and processes, based on knowledge and experience. Our goal is to dispel doubts and provide clear information.
What is CHAZOP analysis and why is it important for my plant?
CHAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study) analysis is the process of systematically evaluating control systems for potential hazards and operational problems. It is critical to ensuring plant safety and efficiency. It identifies risks associated with equipment failures, system errors or operational problems, minimizing the risk of downtime, accidents and financial losses.
What are the benefits of conducting a CHAZOP analysis?
CHAZOP analysis brings many benefits, such as identifying potential hazards at an early stage so that preventive measures can be taken. It also helps optimize control systems, improve their reliability, and implement better operational and safety procedures. As a result, the plant can operate more efficiently, with less risk of downtime and greater control over processes.
In which industries is CHAZOP analysis most commonly used?
CHAZOP analysis is widely used in industries with high levels of automation and operational complexity, such as the chemical, oil, gas, energy and pharmaceutical industries. In these sectors, production processes require constant control, and minimizing operational risks is crucial for safety and efficiency.
What are the most common problems detected during CHAZOP analysis?
Problems such as inconsistencies in control systems, shortcomings in safety procedures, lack of redundancy in key systems, insufficient process monitoring and lack of adequate emergency preparedness are often detected during CHAZOP analysis. All of these problems can lead to an increased risk of failure and downtime.
What does the CHAZOP analysis process look like?
The CHAZOP analysis process begins with a detailed analysis of control systems and processes. This is followed by workshop sessions involving automation and safety experts and key plant personnel. Together, potential risks and operational irregularities are identified. Based on the results of the analysis, a report with recommendations is developed to help implement corrective and optimization measures.
What action should be taken after a CHAZOP analysis?
Following the CHAZOP analysis, the plant should implement the report’s recommendations. This may include upgrading control systems, improving safety procedures, training personnel and introducing new operating standards. Implementing these measures will minimize the risk of future accidents and optimize plant performance.
