PHA/HAZOP Process Hazards Analysis Academy

Course Overview

This online Process Hazards Analysis (PHA) course guides learners through the methods used to uncover and control process-related hazards. Through clear explanations and practical examples, users explore widely adopted approaches such as HAZOP, What-If, FMEA, and HAZID. The training begins with an introduction to Process Safety Management to establish a strong foundation, then moves into how PHAs are structured, facilitated, and reviewed in real workplaces.

To bring everything together, the course wraps up with an interactive capstone activity where participants complete a full PHA scenario. The content is designed to help engineers, technicians, safety professionals, and managers build stronger competency in analyzing risks and supporting safer operations.

Topic Overview

Process hazard analysis plays a central role in evaluating mechanical, chemical, and operational risks. It provides a structured way to examine potential failures, assess impacts, and strengthen safety barriers. After completing this training, learners will understand how PHA techniques contribute to proactive risk management across industrial environments.
