Workplace risk analysis, particularly in industrial processes, is essential for preventing major accident scenarios. The HAZOP method and What‑If approaches help identify process hazards, establish criticality matrices, and structure an effective process safety review.
This PHA Process Safety training, designed for professionals in the chemical sector and facilities subject to regulatory controls, provides the tools to conduct a preliminary hazard analysis, carry out a hazard study, and ensure the periodic revalidation of the PHA. It also incorporates best practices in behavior-based safety to strengthen the prevention culture.
Training objectives
Identify potential hazard scenarios during a process hazard analysis (PHA) using HAZOP, What‑If, or FMEA methods
Understand the regulatory requirements and good practices for documenting a PHA as part of occupational risk management
Learn how to structure and facilitate a PHA workshop by involving functional experts and documenting prevention recommendations
Establish priority action plans and monitoring indicators for implementing corrective measures resulting from the PHA
