HAZOP Pipeline Survey
Identifying Hidden Hazards in Pipeline Systems for Safer Operations
At Integrated QMS Pvt. Ltd., we provide expert HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) Pipeline Surveys to proactively detect and assess potential hazards in piping systems used in industrial operations. Our structured and systematic HAZOP methodology evaluates deviations from design intent that may pose safety, operational, or environmental risks. We help clients in chemical, oil & gas, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing industries improve their process safety and comply with relevant regulatory frameworks.
What is a HAZOP Pipeline Survey?
A HAZOP Pipeline Survey is a qualitative risk analysis technique used to assess potential problems that may arise due to deviations in pipeline operations. By examining every segment of a process pipeline, the HAZOP team identifies the root causes of possible failures, their consequences, and recommends safeguards.
This survey is essential to:
-
Prevent leaks, ruptures, explosions, and contamination.
-
Enhance reliability and safety of critical pipelines.
-
Meet regulatory safety standards under Factories Act, OISD, and ISO 45001.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What’s the difference between HAZOP and a regular pipeline inspection?
HAZOP is a structured risk analysis tool that uses deviation-based logic to uncover hidden operational hazards, unlike general inspections that focus on physical conditions only.
Q2. Is HAZOP mandatory?
For hazardous processes, it is often a legal requirement or industry best practice, especially under MSIHC Rules and Factories Act.
Q3. Do you help in implementing the recommendations?
Yes, our team assists in mitigation planning, redesign suggestions, and follow-up verification audits.
