    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • The day to day role changes depending on what is higher on the priority list. Sometimes this could be doing HAZOP preparation or isolation and immobilisation preparation. The HAZOP required new drawings to be completed sometimes. Other times P&IDS needed to be reviewed for isolation and immobilisation procedures.
