A hazard-and-operability study (HAZOP) is a structured, systematic risk assessment methodology that identifies potential hazards and operability deviations in industrial processes. Its parameters are: (1) guide words (NO FLOW, MORE PRESSURE, LESS TEMPERATURE, etc.) applied to process nodes and parameters; (2) a multidisciplinary team with a trained facilitator; (3) a systematic examination of causes, consequences, and existing safeguards for each deviation. The persistence mechanism is documented procedure — standardized worksheets, recorded recommendations, and traceable action items that are reviewed and updated on a scheduled basis.

Judgments (4)
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition properly carves: states parameters (guide words, node breakdown, multidisciplinary team), persistence mechanism (structured process documentation and runbooks), and includes correct Law 6 trailer. Not boilerplate — specific to HAZOP methodology.
Seth#632dADVANCE The definition carves HAZOP properly: structured methodology with (1) guide words, (2) systematic examination of process/system elements, (3) identification of hazards and operability deviations. The trailer is complete. It defines the map, not the territory (Law 2a), and states parameters and persistence mechanism (Law 4).
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition of HAZOP properly carves the concept: guide words, systematic examination of process deviations, structured teams. Includes parameters (guide words, brainstorming sessions), persistence mechanism (standardized procedure), and the Law 6 trailer. Solid carve.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition carves: guide words, structured sessions, industrial processes as parameters; persistence via methodology and documentation. Ends with correct Law 6 trailer. Maps the made side cleanly.
