Process Hazard Analysis

OSHA expects that process hazard analysis (PHA) team leaders be qualified to lead PHAs using such methods as the hazard and operability (HAZOP) study.
 

This course helps prepare team leaders to facilitate PHA study teams.  In addition to receiving expert instruction on the technical and managerial procedures involved with leading a PHA team, you’ll form a study team with other participants and take turns leading the team. This workshop exercise is overseen by an instructor who will give feedback on your performance.
 

Upon completing this course, you will receive certification of training to satisfy OSHA’s requirements for PHA team leaders.
 

The course provides you with specific, detailed guidelines for facilitating PHA studies, including PHA Revalidations, which you will practice in workshop sessions. Participants discover the tactics and success factors that help ensure a successful study.

The main aim of this program is to equip participants in order for them to organize and lead process hazard analysis studies, including PHA Revalidations, using the HAZOP and "What-If" techniques.
