Decision Making and Follow-up

This activity is part of the framework within which the HAZOP procedure operates, and therefore the responsibility for it falls upon the client company in a consultant/client relationship. In order to achieve the objectives 4 and 5 of our list, the framework procedure needs to address time guidelines for decision making and further study activities. It will also need to specify the requirements for rejection of safety recommendations, and place responsibility for all these activities on particular job-holders within the company.
