Hazard Identification (HAZID) – Definition and Pronunciation
What is HAZID?
Hazard identification (HAZID) study is the method of identifying hazards to prevent and reduce any adverse impact that could cause injury to personnel, damage or loss of property, environment and production, or become a liability. HAZID is a component of risk assessment and management. It is used to determine the adverse effects of exposure to hazards and plan necessary actions to mitigate such risks.
Examples of HAZID
The HAZID process should be carried out in accordance with a recognised process using appropriately experienced subject matter experts. It is recommended that professional guidance is sought to ensure that the process is carried out to an adequate and appropriate level of detail.
