Why Migrate Your HAZOP & LOPA Reports to a Digitalized Database?
THE CHALLENGE:
Your hazard analyses such as Hazard and Operability studies (HAZOP) and Layer Of Protection Analyses (LOPA) are often delivered and managed by the study leader as PDF "flat file" documents. When it comes to a large modification, upgrade or HAZOP review, without access to the original software records, it's almost like starting from scratch every few years.
Even if you use dedicated HAZOP/LOPA software, can you really demonstrate that the last file you saved fully represents the current process, including all plant modifications since the last review?
A MODERN SOLUTION:
eFunctionalSafety provides a service to convert your existing HAZOP and LOPA documentation into a data-centric environment; moving your risk and safety analyses into a place where you can control them better, keep them continuously updated, improved and edited with speed and precision.

CASE STUDY: Migration
BACKGROUND:
eFunctionalSafety provided HAZOP, LOPA, SRS and SIL verification support to an Original Equipment Manufacturer developing an exciting new product for the emerging energy sector; using hydrogen to generate backup electricity for data centres, without any of the harmful environmental emissions of traditional diesel generators.
The project was fast-track and demanding, and eventually required a migration of data from an older PC-based desktop software to the aeShield data-centric environment.
BENEFITS:
- The entire project team (internal staff and external contractors) can access the database, work on deliverables and produce reports.
- Automated revision control and change management across multiple national and international locations.
- Faster implementation and updates with bulk editing and updating capabilities.
