Discover the Power of Having a Simple Accident Model to Help Design Out Foreseeable Hazards

Simple accident models can have a profound impact on reducing risks in complex environments. Conor Crowley’s article, “The Power of a Simple Accident Model to Help Design Out Foreseeable Hazards”, in the latest issue of ‘Risk Assessment & Compliance’, explores the role of HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Analysis) in identifying and mitigating risks.

Drawing from his vast experience in safety engineering, Conor explains how these simple accident models can help design out hazards in complex processes. He also shares insights on leveraging advanced tools to lower risk exposure, even when working remotely from high-risk environments.

“Models, drawings, and computer programmes can often feel removed from the engineering reality, observes Conor. As the computers become more sophisticated and the modelling more realistic, it can seem from the outside that we are playing with the risks, rather than influencing them”
