HAZOP Register
Template (Excel)

A HAZOP action register tracks every recommendation and action item from a HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) study. For each identified deviation, the register records the node, parameter, guide word, cause, consequence, existing safeguards, risk rating, recommendation, action item, owner, due date, status, and closure evidence. OISD 118 requires maintained HAZOP registers for all petroleum installations in India; IEC 61882 provides the international equivalent.

Yes. Pathnovo extracts HAZOP actions from completed PDF studies (800-3,000 pages typical for refinery / petrochemical units) into structured registers in 48-96 hours. Actions are mapped to current P&ID revision nodes (superseded nodes flagged), classified by OISD-aligned priority, and formatted for OISD 118 / IEC 61882 / MoPNG audit submission. See /solutions/hazop-safety-intelligence/register-extraction for the full workflow.

SALUS and Kairos are HAZOP facilitation tools for live workshops; they record actions during the study. They do not extract data from completed study PDFs. Pathnovo starts where facilitation tools leave off: the post-workshop document that historically sits in Excel becomes a queryable, audit-ready register. See /alternatives/salus-hazop for the full comparison.

OISD 118 expects: node reference, P&ID reference with current revision, parameter and guide word (HAZOP methodology), deviation, cause, consequence, existing safeguards, risk rating (OISD-aligned matrix), recommendation, action item with owner and due date, closure evidence, status tracking through to verified closure. The template provided covers all required columns plus optional SIL classification for SIS trip loops.

Yes. The column set maps to IEC 61882 (HAZOP Application Guide) methodology: process node, parameter, guide word, deviation, cause, consequence, safeguards, recommendation. International operators (Shell, BP, Chevron, TotalEnergies, Equinor) typically use IEC 61882 directly; Indian O&G operators under MoPNG jurisdiction add OISD 118 specifics. Template supports both with optional OISD 118 clause reference column.

The template Status column supports: Open, In Progress, Under Verification, Closed-Implemented, Closed-Accepted-Risk, Superseded. Closure Evidence Reference column links to the document proving implementation (MoC record, SAP PM work order number, training attendance sheet, engineering change notice, verification report). For plants running SAP QM or TrackWise, the column linkage makes integration straightforward.

This is the single most common HAZOP register problem: actions close on superseded P&ID nodes (tags renamed, equipment replaced, lines re-routed), meaning trip loops and recommendations point at nothing on the current plant. Pathnovo's automated HAZOP extraction service maps every action to the current P&ID revision with superseded-node detection. Manual tracking cannot catch this at scale.
