HAIZOP supports HAZOP teams in the European process industry: capture P&IDs and plant context, prepare deviations as reviewable suggestions, document decisions and export reports. Your team reviews, corrects and approves.
[ 01 ] Practice
Workshop, plant, review
Multidisciplinary workshop
HAZOP remains a team process across process engineering, operations, maintenance and safety. HAIZOP prepares, structures and documents — the expert assessment stays with the workshop team.
Documentation
Review decisions remain visible as traceable steps: cause, consequence, safeguard, risk and ownership become part of the structured audit package.
Software in the field
The plant description, P&ID and substance data form the basis for a structured review with relevant regulatory context. Causes, consequences, safeguards and risk assessments remain visible; engineers decide.
[ 02 ] PAAG method
HAZOP in four disciplined steps
The German PAAG wording mirrors the HAZOP workflow: predict deviations, identify causes, assess consequences and define safeguards. HAIZOP digitises that logic with P&ID context, source cues, review status and reports that become reliable only after expert approval.
01
Guide words and parameters structure each node instead of collecting scenarios as unstructured workshop notes.
02
Equipment, P&ID topology, plant profile and documents provide context for plausible cause drafts.
03
Consequences and risk ratings stay separated from safeguards so bare risk remains visible.
04
Safeguards, recommendations and responsibilities are reviewed, commented and exported traceably.
[ 03 ] Why
Three bottlenecks, three answers
Workshop time
HAIZOP analyses P&IDs, plant information and substance data in their technical context. For each node, reviewable deviations and possible safeguards can flow into a final report after expert review.
Preparation is spread across P&IDs, tables, substance data, technical documents and specialist experience.
One responsible person prepares the nodes. HAIZOP creates typical drafts for deviations, causes, consequences and possible safeguards. The team starts from a structured draft, reviews it professionally and records approval traceably.
Years after construction, a plant is expanded and planning decisions must be reconstructed manually from many documents.
Nodes, deviations, safeguards and review decisions remain structured data. That makes scenarios, responsibilities and reasoning easier to trace later.
A safeguard appears suitable, but the justification depends on how much experience is available in that specific field.
HAIZOP can provide technical relationships, documented events and standards references as orientation where suitable foundations exist. The technical assessment remains with the qualified HAZOP team.
[ 04 ] Method
Planning workflow
Capture the plant profile and upload the P&ID. File import and image analysis support recognition of equipment tags, connections and nodes.
HAIZOP creates reviewable scenarios per node for deviations, causes, consequences and possible safeguards. Sources, context and uncertainties stay visible.
Your team reviews the suggestions, corrects them where needed and adds its own assessment. Nothing goes into the report without expert approval.
Export a HAZOP report in multiple formats. The audit trail records who reviewed, commented on and approved each change.

Professional foundation
Christian Machens
HAIZOP is grounded in practical experience from HAZOP workshops, plant planning and technical risk assessment. Christian Machens contributes that experience to the professional direction of the platform. The focus is a digital workflow that makes expert knowledge structured and usable for project teams.
