Build confidence in mastering process safety
Complex processes can introduce hazards that are difficult to spot during design or daily operation. A structured HAZOP provides a logical way to examine potential deviations and risks before they can lead to costly or dangerous problems.
At Ingenia, we facilitate structured HAZOP studies using a systematic methodology tailored to your project, process and risk profile. Our multidisciplinary engineers help guide your team through hazard identification, deviation analysis, safeguard reviews, and recommendations. Ultimately, this gives you the information needed to make sound decisions about process safety.
With 15+ years of engineering experience and experience across mining, processing, food and beverage and infrastructure, we bring practical engineering knowledge to every HAZOP workshop. Our approach aligns with AS IEC 61882 and is designed to support rigorous risk management while building practical understanding within your team.

What is HAZOP?
HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study) is a structured and systematic risk assessment methodology used to identify hazards and operability issues within a system. HAZOP studies are commonly used across industries such as mining, oil and gas, chemical processing, manufacturing, food and beverage, energy and infrastructure, where complex systems present potential safety and operability risks.
HAZOP helps teams understand potential causes and consequences, review existing safeguards and identify opportunities for further risk reduction. This makes it an important part of process safety, helping teams identify and address potential risks before they result in consequences.
Learn From Engineers in the Field
Running an effective Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study requires more than following a set of guide words. It takes strong workshop leadership, a thorough understanding of the system and the ability to engage a multidisciplinary team in meaningful risk discussions.
At Ingenia, our HAZOP facilitation courses are developed and delivered by practising engineering consultants who facilitate real-world HAZOP studies across Australian industrial environments. As a client-focused consulting company, we bring the same practical, project-based approach to our training. We want to help participants understand not just the HAZOP methodology, but how to apply it effectively in real situations.
Our courses connect HAZOP principles with practical experience, allowing participants to build skills they can take back to their own projects and teams.
What You Will Learn in Ingenia’s HAZOP Facilitation Course
Build the skills needed to plan, facilitate and contribute to an effective HAZOP study. Ingenia’s course takes participants through the key stages of a HAZOP.
How to Build the Right HAZOP Team
Learn how to bring together the technical, operational and project expertise needed for an effective study. Understand team roles and how a facilitator keeps the workshop focused.
Define Processes
Learn how to set the HAZOP scope and break a system into manageable sections for review. You’ll explore how design intent provides the foundation for identifying meaningful deviations.
Turn Guide Words Into Useful Questions
Go beyond memorising guide words. Learn how to apply them systematically to process parameters such as flow, pressure and temperature to identify credible process deviations.
Trace Risks From Cause to Consequence
Learn how to examine the causes and consequences of a deviation, assess existing safeguards and identify where further action may be needed.
Document Findings and Actions
Understand how to clearly record HAZOP discussions and turn findings into practical, traceable recommendations that support effective follow-up.
Who Should Attend
If you are responsible for engineering, operations, safety or project delivery, this course can help you build a practical understanding of HAZOP methodology and facilitation.
Our courses are best suited to:
- Senior process, mechanical and electrical engineers involved in design, risk assessment or process safety.
- Plant and operations managers responsible for safe and reliable plant operation.
- HSE and process safety specialists involved in hazard identification and risk management.
- Project managers overseeing hazardous assets or system upgrades.
Flexible Training Options
At Ingenia, we offer flexible delivery options to suit your team, project requirements and preferred learning environment.
- In-house training can be tailored to your company’s procedures, operating environment and risk management framework.
- Public and group workshops provide an interactive learning environment for individuals and smaller teams.
Why Choose Us? The Ingenia Difference
Ingenia’s HAZOP courses are grounded in practical engineering experience rather than theory alone. Courses are delivered by active, practising multidisciplinary experienced engineers.
Our courses also connect with Ingenia’s broader engineering capabilities, providing a pathway to ongoing support across risk management, engineering design and drafting where required.
