This post is only for interest's sake.
Sorry to open a closed thread, but this very same question was formally asked and answered in Alberta, Canada. Reference APEGGA's "The PEGG", December 2009, Page 4.
Apparently, the conclusion reached by the governing professional association (APEGGA) is that simply "facilitating" does not involve the professional application of mathematics or physical sciences and, therefore, does not meet all of the criteria defining what constitutes professional engineering practice. Therefore, you don't need to be a professional engineer to do it.
Then, the article suggests that, in the eyes of the law, if you *do* happen to be a professional engineer and you *do* facilitate a HAZOP, you will be judged in a court of law to be more responsible for anything bad that happens later than if you *are not* a professional engineer.
So here, the answer is, officially, I think, sort of yes, sort of no, sort of maybe.
I love concise and clear clarification.

SNORGY.
