Process Hazard Analysis

DESCRIPTION The risk review techniques most popular for initial PHAs of entire units or of large projects, MOC reviews, and PHA revalidations are Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis and what-if/checklist. Both of these techniques facilitate systematic, imaginative searches for process hazards and potential operational difficulties. In this PHA Training, you will also learn how to use the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method and you will learn how to use checklists of hazards to supplement your brainstorming analyses. You will learn the best situations and circumstances to use each technique. This PHA Leadership Training course is mostly workshops: You will lead and participate in several analyses to familiarize yourself with each technique. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN ON THIS TRAINING?

• How to perform a PHA to meet PSM requirements for initial PHAs and management of change analyses including these critical elements.
• How to prepare for the PHA; Scope the PHA, Collect information, Select the team, Lead a meeting, Document results.
• How to analyze operating procedures for critical accident scenarios.
• How and when to apply HAZOP, FMEA, and/or what-if/checklist analyses methods to any process system in any industry.
