Webinar: Differing Methodologies of PHA
A Presentation by our US Experts
10:00am (EST) Thursday February 15, 2024
Per OSHA 1910.119 PSM standards an initial Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) must be conducted on processes covered by the standard. At least every five years after the completion of the initial PHA, the PHA shall be updated and revalidated. The standard allows for a number of methodologies to be implemented in order to meet the requirement. Notable potential methodologies include Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOPs), What-Ifs, and Checklists.
Learning Outcomes
In this webinar, we provide an overview of the differing methodologies alongside information on the appropriate applications for the available approaches.
From this US presentation, you will gain an understanding of:
- Various methodologies of performing a PHA
- Appropriate applications of the methodologies
- Pros and Cons of the methodologies
