HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study or Hazard and Operability Analysis) is a tool used for the systematic identification of hazards that may arise from functional failures within a system or subsystem.

To analyze potential deviations, words such as too much, too little, or too late, are applied.

HAZOP is frequently used during the development phase, particularly as a complementary method to hazard analysis, helping to identify and assess potential risks at an early stage.
