4-Day Course
Learn how to perform PHAs that meet risk assessment needs as well as federal regulatory requirements. In this course, you will learn practical methods for performing process hazard analyses (PHAs) of systems, procedures, and computer software that will address federal regulatory requirements and how to perform a PHA, including these critical elements:
- Scoping the PHA
- Collecting Information
- Selecting the Team
- Leading a Meeting
- Documenting Results
Hazard and operability (HAZOP) analysis and what-if/checklist are the most popular techniques for initial PHAs, ongoing management of change reviews, and revalidation because they both facilitate systematic, imaginative searches for process hazards and potential operational difficulties. Each technique has unique strengths in analyzing certain types of systems. You will lead and participate in several analyses to become familiar with the techniques before completing the course.
Because human factors analysis is such an important part of PHA, one full day of instruction will focus on human factors issues. You will learn how to apply the HAZOP and what-if/checklist techniques to analyzing procedures (such as system startup, shutdown, batch operation, maintenance) for the hazards of not performing a step as specified. You will also learn how to investigate the work situation for root causes of human error.
Computerized methods for performing and documenting a HAZOP analysis will be demonstrated. In addition, several workshops using actual refining and E&P process examples will be used to allow students to hone their skills.
