Process Hazard Analysis Leader Training

OSHA requires that at least one team member in a PHA is “knowledgeable” about the methodologies [29 CFR 1910.119(e) (4)], but teams of employees participate in Process Hazard Analysis in many, many different ways during the normal course of business; NOT just every five years! Open Range® PHA Leader Training is for anyone who will participate in a hazard study. Our training is designed to help people learn how to select and apply Risk Identification skills in Management of Change (MOC) reviews, design reviews, recommendation management, JSA/JHA activities, permit writing, or any other area where safety needs to be integrated into the facility tasks. This training is ideal for facilitators, operators, engineers, managers, or safety professionals. People taking this class will become knowledgeable in PHA methodologies, but we want to change the way people think about risk in their everyday lives. With this in mind, we offer price discounts for organizations that choose to have a trainer teach a class on-site to help you improve your overall Process Safety Culture.
