HAZOP Manager

Version 7.0

 

PLEASE NOTE: SALES OF HAZOP MANAGER V7 HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED DUE TO ILL HEALTH.

Note from John Lihou: All good things must come to an end. After 38 years of continuous development of HAZOP Manager, one of the very first commercial software tools for the recording and management of HAZOP Studies, the originator, chief developer, and inspiration behind HAZOP Manager, Mike Lihou, has become critically ill and cannot continue to run the business. My current career as an independent HAZOP and LOPA consultant does not afford me the time required to run Mike's company. This website will continue to be available as a resource for those interested in HAZOP. I will endeavour to provide continued technical support to our existing customers.


HAZOP Manager Version 7.0 is a comprehensive Personal Computer program for the management of Hazard and Operability Studies (Hazops) and other similar safety-related reviews*.  It is currently helping many companies throughout the world to conduct more efficient and effective studies.  The software incorporates features and facilities that:

  • Ease the task of recording the meeting minutes, and help to maintain the team's focus of attention and interest.

  • Allow professionally formatted reports to be produced with the minimum of effort.

* As its name suggests, the software is most frequently employed to record and manage Hazop Studies, as arguably this is the most widely used loss-prevention technique.  However, it is designed to be easily configured for use in other familiar methodologies such as Process Hazards Analysis (PHA), check-list driven Hazard Identification Reviews (HazId), Risk Assessment Studies, SIL Analysis, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), etc.  As an indication of its flexibility, users have also employed the program for Project Cost & Schedule Risk Management, Workplace H&S Regulatory Compliance Reviews, Hazards of Construction Reviews, Preliminary Hazards Analysis, Conceptual Project Studies, and so on.  In other words, the software can be utilized for most reviews where it is required that the results are both recorded and reported, and which generate actions that need distribution and subsequent verification that they have been satisfactorily completed.
