Course Overview
Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) usually focus on the potential causes and consequences of episodic events, such as fires, explosions, and unplanned releases of hazardous materials. As a result, PHA techniques are used to identify weaknesses in the design and operation of facilities that could lead to such events. This 3-day PHA course is therefore designed to provide expert guidance on how to successfully plan and implement Process Hazards Analysis (PHA) studies efficiently and effectively. The process will involve developing strategy for selection of a viable methodology from among the leading PHA types such as HAZOP, What-if?, Checklist, FMEA, PrePHA, Relative Ranking and learning how to engage PHA Team members constructively to harness the strength of the different personalities that inevitably will exist.
