HAZID (Hazard Identification) is a method for general hazard identification normally carried out prior to HAZOP (HAZOP focuses more on process hazards). HAZID allows a high level evaluation of risk at an early stage of a project, covering issues such as: facility siting, human factors, MAH scenarios, environmental impact and best engineering practices. It follows the same methodology as HAZOP, however, using appropriate documents and Guidewords.
HAZID documentation requirements include: Location and Layout Plans, Process Flow Diagrams, MSDS for handled fluids, Table of Emissions (Air, Water, Ground, Noise, etc.)
