September 2, 2021 – Sargent & Lundy hosted an expert-led webinar, Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), on September 9. The webinar, available for viewing above, covers a basic introduction to PHA methodologies, keywords in HAZOP, participant roles, and lessons learned for successful PHA.
In the U.S., many industrial, refining, and petrochemical operations are required by OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) standard and the EPA’s Risk Management Plan (RMP) rule to complete PHA on a prescribed basis due to materials processed above certain quantity thresholds. Although PHA is not a regulatory requirement for power and nuclear operations, many owners are choosing to use PHA methodologies for safety system design verification.
Sargent & Lundy has developed guidelines and work practices that incorporate our significant experience moderating and facilitating hazard and risk discussions, and this webinar provides insight into methods that have helped our clients succeed.
