Event Overview

This course will help you in gaining an understanding of the requirements governing the performance of PHAs and provides an overview of the HAZOP, What-If, and other techniques used for PHA studies.

Guidance is provided on selecting the proper PHA technique and participating in a PHA.  PHA techniques are described with real-life examples.

Attendees participate in the performance of demonstration PHAs led by the course instructor.

The course also helps prepare leaders and facilitators of process hazard analysis study teams. In addition to receiving expert instruction on the technical and managerial procedures involved with how to effectively lead and control a PHA team, you'll form a study team with other participants and take turns leading a team utilizing practical exercises based on actual plant examples.  These exercises are overseen by an instructor who will give feedback on your performance.

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