There are numerous types of safety studies and techniques; their abundance often leads to confusion about what safety study should be carried out and when in the asset lifecycle. Good planning is required to gain the most return for the investment made in time, effort and money in these studies. Pressures on project budgets and schedules, and the lack of competent resources in operating companies and service providers has led to an erosion of the application of good engineering practice (such as the ICI 6 stage hazard study process).
