Description
Process Hazards Analysis represents the most critical compilation of information about process safety, but for many the PHA is a time to be endured rather than engaged, an exercise to be tolerated rather than anticipated.  How PHA information is used speaks volumes about its perceived value. A critical examination of the PHA processes at Phillips 66 led to the conclusion that PHAs are critical tools to developing programs and work processes accurately and efficiently, so investment in getting PHAs right is an investment in operating the business more efficiently. Even with a written standard for the company, it allowed multiple business units in a variety of regulatory jurisdictions to implement the program differently. Results were understandably inconsistent and included mis-application of requirements, over-mitigation of risks, and unnecessary expenditures where local expertise and oversight was lacking. Consolidation and centralization of the PHA facilitation process allows for the organization to benefit from improved PHA quality and thoroughness, insights into opportunities for improvement within and outside of the facilitation process, and cost effectiveness in facilitation and risk mitigation.

Attendee Takeaways

  1. Process Hazards Analysis represents the most critical compilation of information about process safety. To keep this information in front of people and leverage it into other programs, consistency in preparation, facilitation, and report generation is needed.
  2. Greater consistency in PHAs leads to improved quality, increased opportunities for leverage and insight, and improved cost effectiveness.
  3. This process can be accomplished with existing personnel regardless of employment status.
