Applying HAZOP and FMEA methods for HSE Hazard Identification in Construction
The methods are generic, not restricted by industry. We use a version of FMEA for our construction activities risk analysis and controls.

Thanks for your reply Pancho!
Do you have a short example for any type of construction work? just to have an idea on practical application.

Though FMEA can be applied to any activity/ process for hazard Id. but the HAZOP studies are generally employed in Chemical /process industries/ petroleum industries/ storage of chemicals/ petroleum etc. or to to the processes with high degree of disaster potential. The basic purpose of a HAZOP study is to identify potential hazards and operability problems caused by 'deviations from the design intent' of process plants that can lead to significant damage to human life & health/ environment/ property.
As to the construction activity, no such operability problems exist that may warrant conducting a HAZOP nor it's required by the law (in most countries).
