"PHA - Process Hazard Analysis" Course
Risk assessment is part of the risk management system and represents a structured process through which hazards, probabilities, and consequences of their occurrence are determined.
Within the course framework, participants will familiarize themselves with methodologies for analyzing hazardous production factors widely used in global industry, learn to conduct risk assessments, and become acquainted with the practical applications of each method: HAZOP, HAZID, LOPA, ETA, FTA, BOW TIE, FMEA, WHAT IF. Most of these methods are included in the "Recommendations on the selection of methods for assessing occupational risk levels and reducing such risk levels," approved by Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated December 28, 2021 No. 926.

Production company processes are accompanied by various risks. A risk management system allows minimizing production risks through timely and correct management decisions.
Risk assessment, being part of the risk management system, represents numerous methodologies with which it is possible to assess risks and use the obtained data for:
- preparing the company's risk register,
- designing hazardous production facilities,
- designing automated emergency protection systems (AEPS),
- optimal selection of solutions, etc.
In particular, GOST R 58771-2019 (IEC 31010:2019, NEQ) "Risk Management. Risk Assessment Methods" describes 31 risk assessment methods.
When developing the course, as a basis, we selected nine methodologies that have gained the widest distribution in the world, on various projects and are legally defined as mandatory for application in risk assessment by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor.
This set of risk assessment methodologies is called "Process Hazard Analysis (PHA)".
What you will get from completing the training:
Engineers who have completed the course will be able to confidently navigate the risk management system and perform risk assessment and their implementation probabilities using any of the methods covered in the course, based on the specific situation.
An important advantage will be the skill of how to calculate the required target SIL level of safety circuits for EPS systems using some of the listed methodologies, which can be used both for EPS design and for checking the adequacy of existing protection measures at the facility.
Upon completion of the course, all participants take a test and receive certificates of successful course completion.
How the training is conducted:
Format: in-person or online - by choice.
In-person training format involves classes in specially prepared classrooms equipped with air conditioning systems.
Training time is from 9:00 to 17:00, with 15-minute coffee breaks after each pair of classes and an hour lunch break.
Before the start of training, all participants will receive handout materials with a brief description of the course.
The training process will take place in the format of presentations and active class discussion of the topics being considered. At the completion stage of each course topic (block), participants are offered to solve 2-3 assignments to reinforce the material covered.
Course training program:
At the beginning of the course, an introductory presentation on the risk management system will be presented, then course participants will become familiar with the theoretical foundations of the above-mentioned methodologies, and will complete several practical assignments for each of them.
Block 1. Laws and bylaws in the field of industrial safety.
Block 2. Risk management system.
Block 3. "What if?" risk determination methodology.
Block 4. Event Tree Analysis ETA.
Block 5. Fault Tree Analysis FTA.
Block 6. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis FMEA.
Block 7. "Bow-tie" Analysis.
Block 8. Hazard Identification HAZID.
Block 9. Hazard and Operability Analysis HAZOP.
Block 10. Layer of Protection Analysis LOPA.
How to supplement your knowledge.
For a deeper understanding of the risk management system, and in particular, hazard analysis and assessment of the adequacy of existing facility protection measures, "RBI Concept" company offers to additionally take a 3-day HAZOP-LOPA course, upon completion of which participants receive facilitator certificates for Hazard and Operability Analysis HAZOP and Layer of Protection Analysis LOPA and will be able to professionally conduct risk sessions with working groups on risk assessment.
