HAZOP is a systematic way to explore what could go wrong by examining deviations from how a process was intended to operate and identifying the consequences. One expected outcome is a documented, organized list of potential hazards and operability problems associated with those deviations, along with recommended mitigations, design changes, or procedural controls to prevent or lessen the risk. This helps ensure safety by making gaps in safeguards explicit and guiding decisions on how to improve the design or operation before plants go online or during modifications. Other options don’t fit because they describe outputs like risk scoring, budgets, or layout plans, which are not the primary deliverables of a HAZOP study.
