e-PHA 203-3: PHA Team Leader

COURSE DESCRIPTION                                                                                  DURATION: 21 hours On Demand, 1 Day with LIVE trainer 9AM-4PM

PSRG is using hybrid learning for PHA Team Leader via TalentLMS platform. You will go through modules that each followed by a 2-3 question quiz for reinforcement. The system requires that each module be completed and the interim quizzes be passed before moving on to the next module. Upon completing the modules there is a scheduled live question and answer session, workshops, and exercises with PSRG’s trainer. Those are followed by a graded quiz online and issue of a certificate once you pass the final quiz. 

This course teaches process hazard analysis (PHA) techniques and prepares each participant to lead teams and effectively perform and document PHA and other hazard/risk management studies. The participants will learn to organize and lead process hazard analysis studies using the HAZOP, “What-If” and other techniques. Participants will discover the tactics and success factors that help ensure a successful study. They will also learn about and use software available for documenting PHA studies. In addition, this course provides a better understanding of the importance of certain aspects of PHA facilitation and the best practices that should be used during a PHA study. Using these best practices will reduce time, confusion and quality of the PHA. This course will also highlight the “dos and don’ts” in a PHA study.  The teachings of the course will be demonstrated practically by the participants forming a study team with other participants and taking turns leading a team utilizing practical exercises based on actual plant examples.  These exercises will be supervised by an instructor who will give feedback on team’s performance.
