Description
Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) is a critical component of Process Safety Management (PSM) and is mandatory for industries handling highly hazardous chemicals under OSHA regulations. This comprehensive online course provides practical, real-world training on conducting effective PHA studies to prevent catastrophic incidents such as fires, explosions, and toxic releases.
In this course, you will learn the most widely used PHA methodologies, including HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study), What-If Analysis, FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis), Bowtie Analysis, and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). You will understand the suitability of each technique, how to conduct structured PHA workshops, assign risk levels, document results properly, and implement effective recommendations.
Designed for professionals in oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and high-risk industrial environments, this course bridges the gap between theory and practical application. Whether you are preparing for OSHA PSM compliance, improving plant safety, or strengthening your process risk assessment skills, this training will equip you with the tools and confidence to lead or participate in PHA studies.
If you want to enhance your expertise in process safety, risk assessment, hazard identification, and industrial safety management, this course is your step toward becoming a more competent and valuable safety professional.
