Complete a HAZOP scenario for the case below based on the following information and the risk matrix provided. Is the risk acceptable? Discuss your reasoning. A pump in an industrial refrigeration unit can fail and cause a coolant leak. This would not cause any environmental impact because it is indoors, but there is potential for a first aid. This pump is specialized and would cost approximately $25 000 to fix.
