DESCRIPTION

Process hazards analysis (PHA) is a systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, and preventing potential mishaps in the way that work is carried out. Naturally, the goal of such an analysis is to identify and eliminate any and all situations that might cause a product defect or injury to workers. Process hazards analysis, or an investigation of processes, is a process that enables managers to evaluate the significant safety and health risks in their process operations. The process hazards analysis technique can help identify and control the hazards that pose a risk to employees.

If you are involved in the production of goods or delivery of services, then process hazards analysis is one of the most needed quality control processes. Process hazards analysis is taken care either by a trained individual, process engineer, or a team mostly having a mix of both. Process hazards analysis (PHA), is an analytical tool that can detect dangerous or undesirable events and help preventing them. It is used in all areas of process industries. The purpose of PHA is to analyze an existing or being designed process to ensure it is operating safely under normal conditions, plant upsets, or system failures with the prevention of hazards.

Process hazards analysis can be used to reduce the risk of injuries, illnesses, and fatalities that can result from unsafe processes. Process hazards analysis, also known as process hazard analysis (PHA), identifies, analyzes, and documents hazards associated with a process. A hazard is any potential source of harm or danger: liquids with high temperatures, areas where airborne particles exist and machines operating at high speeds are just some examples. Safety procedures are only as good as the information available for them. PHA provides an important foundation for safety programs by gathering, consolidating, and organizing information about hazardous processes into a format that is useful for corrective action management.
