What-If is a qualitative hazard identification and risk assessment method for industrial processes. It is a productive technique when a panel of experts in engineering, operations, maintenance, and process safety is available to provide a critical perspective based on experience, in order to obtain an effective analysis of process hazards and risks.
Pryxida TECH has facilitators who guide the panel of experts through the brainstorming technique to formulate questions that identify events that may cause material losses, economic losses, impacts on people, or impacts on the environment. Risk assessment is performed qualitatively by determining whether the residual risk level is acceptable to the asset owner. If it is not acceptable, recommendations are developed to increase process safety.
- List of generated questions with their corresponding risk analysis
- List of recommendations
- Workshop leader’s report containing the compilation of the analysis performed
If a more detailed analysis of the process is desired, a HAZOP should then be conducted.
