HAZOP worksheet to Excel.
A HAZOP (hazard and operability) worksheet is the process safety study document. One row per node-parameter-deviation tuple carries the cause, consequence, severity, likelihood, the existing safeguards (layers of protection in place), the recommendation if additional protection is required, the recommendation owner, and the closure status. HAZOP guide words are the seven standard deviation modes: NO, MORE, LESS, REVERSE, AS WELL AS, PART OF, OTHER THAN. The HAZOP worksheet is the input document for the LOPA (layer of protection analysis) and ultimately the SIL determination.
Upload a HAZOP study worksheet (scanned binder, PDF, or legacy spreadsheet) and extract every node and deviation row into a structured spreadsheet. Node, parameter, deviation guide word, consequence, cause, existing safeguard, recommendation, and assignee all read into the columns the process safety engineer and the action tracker use.
| Guide word | Meaning | Typical example (Flow) |
|---|---|---|
| NO | Complete absence | No flow due to pump failure |
| MORE | Quantitative increase | Higher flow from control valve open |
| LESS | Quantitative decrease | Lower flow from partial blockage |
| REVERSE | Opposite direction | Backflow from downstream pressure |
| AS WELL AS | Qualitative addition | Contamination in feed stream |
| PART OF | Qualitative decrease | Missing component in mixture |
| OTHER THAN | Substitution | Wrong feedstock loaded |
Fields extracted.
Every column the hazop study worksheet typically carries is read and shaped into a structured row. Missing fields stay blank, never invented.

Common questions.
Does this work with a scanned legacy HAZOP binder from a previous turnaround?
Yes. Scanned and photographed HAZOP binders process the same as digital PDFs. Lower-confidence cells flag for review; the recommendation and assignee fields are the rows most often flagged because they carry handwritten redlines from the workshop.
Can the action tracker filter by status (open / in-progress / closed)?
Yes. Status and assignee columns drive the action-tracker filter. The closure-reference column links back to the MOC, FAT, or commissioning step that closed each action so the audit trail is one click away.
