This lecture covers the Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP) method, developed in the 1970s to assess safety in chemical plants. It involves systematically analyzing deviations in plant parameters to predict potential consequences, focusing on thermo-hydraulic systems. The lecture explains the HAZOP process, methodology, guide words, operating parameters, safety barriers, evaluation table, and includes practical exercises like analyzing a coffee machine.
