Process hazard analysis

A process hazard analysis (PHA) provides a regimented framework for assessing hazards associated with industrial processes and the handling of hazardous chemicals and toxic substances. PHAs aim to reduce the risk of catastrophic events like fire, explosions, or the release of toxic chemicals. They usually include a variety of components including mechanical integrity of equipment, inspection and testing, addressing human element hazards, training programs, and more. 

Organisations should do a thorough evaluation of their process risks every five years or if they have added new procedures or equipment. The analysis should assess each stage of your operation – from startup to shut down. As an experienced risk engineering partner, Global Risk Consultants | A company of TÜV SÜD Group (GRC) can help you conduct this process hazard analysis to assess all your process risks and ensure regulatory compliance.
