REPORT PREPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION

Typically four stages of the HAZOP or What-If study report are provided - Preliminary, Draft, Final and Addendum. 

The purpose of each individual level of the report are described as follows  

Preliminary Report A rough draft of the report provided to the Project Manager. It is used to give a good immediate approximation of the content of the Final Report that will be issued including any recommendations that will be made. This report is usually produced immediately after the last review session, from the unedited computer worksheets and does not include copies of drawings. 

Draft Report A report that has been reviewed and edited by the Team Leader and the Scribe to ensure proper organization and correct transcribed notes. Issued to interested parties to provide comments on its format, accuracy and completeness. 

Final Report Finished review meeting report that has evaluated and incorporated pertinent comments from the Draft Report and forms part of the project design file.
