| Description:
Process Hazards
Analyses (PHAs) are an integral part of any process safety
program. If you cannot identify hazards then you can nether remove
them nor mitigate against them. This book describes in detail how
to run a Process Hazards Analysis, and how to effectively identify
hazards. The book focuses on real-world issues such as the role of
the leader, team selection, writing the final report,
quantification of risk, and follow-up to findings.
Quotations and
topics raised in the book include the following:
- A PHA leader
"comforts the afflicted but afflicts the
comfortable"
- Don't confuse
"common cause" with "root cause"
- If it's not
there, it can't leak
- Deciding whether
to focus on high risk or on high consequence hazards
- The importance
of MAWP values
- Distinguish
between Findings, Recommendations and Action Items

book has been reviewed by the authoritative journal Chemical
Engineering. A copy of that review (.pdf
file, one page) is available.
