# Residual Risk HAZOP Template

An alternative to the Evergreen HAZOP template, called Residual Risk, is also available in IMS SIS. This can be activated for your site via the Application Setting "HAZOP Template". ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/image-1699406108634.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)The Residual Risk HAZOP differs from the default [HAZOP Details Page](/docs/hazop-tab) in terms of:

## R (Risk) column

This Risk column replaces the default HAZOP's [Severity](/v414/docs/defining-the-consequences-for-each-hazop-deviation) column.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/pic1(154).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

To set the Risk:

1. Select the Consequence Card.
2. Click the fold-out bar.
3. Select a Top event.

NoteThere are no [predefined HAZARDs](/docs/hazard-and-effect-register-tab) for the Residual Risk HAZOP template.

4. Click somewhere on the “PACE” matrix to open the Risk Matrix.

5. Select P (People) / A (Asset) / C (Community) / E (Environment) and then select the associated LIKELIHOOD and RISK BAND (Severity) for each where applicable. The Risk (R= L* S) for each category will then be displayed in the Risk column.

Take NOTEOnly one LIKELIHOOD can be selected for all categories.

## L (Likelihood) column

This column shows the Likelihood without Safeguards. All Consequence Categories (PACE) have the same Likelihood.

One Likelihood value, applying to all Consequence Categories, will appear after you have defined the [Risk](/v414/docs/residual-risk-hazop-template#r-risk-column).

## S (Severity) column

This column shows the Severity without Safeguards. An S value will appear for each applicable Consequence Category after you have defined the [Risk](/v414/docs/residual-risk-hazop-template#r-risk-column).

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/pic1(156).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

## L w/ SG column

This is the Likelihood with Safeguard. You can manually enter a value from 1-5 (1 is the lowest Likelihood, 5 is the highest Likelihood). This value will apply to all Consequence Categories (PACE).![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/pic1(157).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

## R w/ SG column

This is the Risk with Safeguard. The R w/ SG column is automatically filled: R w/ SG = L w/ SG * S.

## Comments column

The Comments column replaces the [ALARP](/v414/docs/defining-the-alarp-description) column from the default HAZOP template.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/pic1(159).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)
