The question which faces many of those in the process industries is whether their plant, process or operation is “safe”. This “safety” is not that concerned with the individual workers (such as slips and trips), or otherwise referred to as occupational safety, but with the potential damage if anything should go wrong with the plant or process itself, that is, process safety. Over the years there have been a number of significant process plant disasters, such as Bhopal in India, BP’s Texas City refinery in Texas City, USA, and many others. The concept of process hazard analysis has come about as a means for establishing that such plants are capable of being operated safely and that the risks of an untoward event are within “acceptable” boundaries and that the process can be managed so that it remains safe.

- Develop an understanding of the essential elements that are required in developing PSM
- Practice a range of qualitative methodologies to enable a wider appreciation of the application of PHA, including What If, HAZOP, HAZID, FTA, ETA, FMEA and LOPA
- Appreciate the boundaries of the use of PHA and PSM
- Develop a knowledge base from real world experience
- Be able to utilize risk assessment techniques and develop a range of consequence analyses, both of which are essential to understanding PHA
- Get the opportunity to practice leadership skills in PHA workshops
- Set acceptability limits for their operation – risk criteria
Who should attend: Managers, engineers and operatives responsible for conducting PHAs in chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, drilling and completions, and maintaining safety management systems,those with an interest in Process Safety including Safety Managers and Directors.
