Abstract
Hazards associated with pipeline transferring hazardous material can range from flammable to toxic hazards, depending on the nature of the material being transferred via the pipeline. In order to assess the risk associated with pipeline, first, the hazards have to be identified appropriately. Different hazard identification techniques and their applicability to pipelines are presented in this chapter. These techniques include hazard and operability analysis, preliminary hazard analysis, what-if analysis, fault tree analysis, event tree analysis, and bow-tie analysis. Detailed descriptions of these techniques and examples on each one of the techniques are presented in this chapter to illustrate the applicability of them to pipeline systems. Different hazard identification (HAZID) techniques complement each other and sometimes lead to the same outcome. However, some HAZID techniques are more adequate for certain situations than others.
