About the Hazards Data Loader

Using the Hazards Data Loader, you can implement HAZOP Analysis when you have data in a legacy system. To import data using the Hazards Data Loader, GE Digital APM provides an Excel workbook, Hazards.xlsx, which supports baseline Hazards Analysis in GE Digital APM. You must export your legacy system so that the data can be used to populate the workbook. The data from the workbook will then be imported into GE Digital APM using the Hazards Data Loader.

Note: The Excel template is referred to throughout this documentation as the data loader workbook.

The data loader workbook can be used in the following scenario:

Loading existing legacy HAZOP analysis data into GE Digital APM so that you can retain visibility into previous HAZOP analyses, view the risk mitigation graph and re-validation schedules.

After importing the data, the Hazards Data Loader creates the following records in GE Digital APM:

Hazards Analysis
Hazards Analysis System/Node
Hazards Analysis Deviation
Hazards Analysis Cause
Hazards Analysis Consequence
Hazards Analysis Safeguard
Independent Layer of Protection
Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment Recommendation
Human Resource

Note: This data loader workbook is not backward compatible to earlier versions of GE Digital APM.
