Hazard Identification (HAZID) is a proactive safety analysis tool designed to identify potential hazards, both internal and external, across various project phases. External hazards—those originating outside the process—are a key focus of HAZID, encompassing events like natural disasters, security breaches, and external fires. By evaluating these alongside internal risks, HAZID ensures a holistic approach to hazard management, contributing to safer operations and regulatory compliance.

In safety-critical industries, balancing safety and availability is essential. Whether you’re in oil and gas, chemical processing, or power generation, your systems must be both safe and reliable. While most engineers focus heavily on safety integrity, process availability is equally important.

This is why we at Risknowlogy invented the Spurious Trip Level (STL)—to help companies measure and control the risk of unnecessary system shutdowns. In this article, we'll explain why spurious trips are not just an inconvenience but a significant safety risk, and how STL can help optimize both safety and reliability.

In the age of interconnected systems, functional safety and cybersecurity are different but go hand in hand. Whether you're an engineer, a manager, or a safety professional, understanding this vital synergy is crucial.
