Professional hazard identification for safe project delivery
A Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) is a critical tool for spotting operational, safety, and process risks before they affect your project. RED Engineering Design delivers structured, practical HAZOP services across various sectors, including data centres, industrial facilities, and the wider built environment.
Our assessments cover risks from design, construction, maintenance, and operation, helping you put effective controls in place early. With extensive experience across mission-critical and process-intensive facilities, our experts can ensure that hazard identification is thorough, clear, and actionable.
From HAZID (Hazard Identification) workshops to detailed HAZOP studies, we provide professional risk assessment services that support safe, compliant, and efficient project delivery.

What are HAZOP services?
A HAZOP study is a structured method used to identify potential risks in process control, health and safety, and operations. Hazard identification is carried out early in the project lifecycle to highlight major hazards before detailed design begins.
RED delivers HAZOP assessments to identify issues related to:
- Design, construction, maintenance, and operation
- Process controls and operating procedures
- Health, safety, and environmental factors
- Equipment integration and system performance
By integrating HAZOP within our wider health and safety services, RED ensures identified risks lead to clear, practical improvements in both design and operation.
