Abstract

Hazards analysis is one of many important issues for safety professionals. Sometimes we are required to perform Process Hazards Analyses (PHA) within our companies with little or no formal training. Even experienced analysts are sometimes bewildered with the many different techniques available to perform hazards analyses. This presentation is designed to help safety professionals select the right hazards analysis tools to perform a hazards analysis appropriate for the complexity of the process being evaluated. The authors are senior hazards analysts at Global Environmental Solutions (GES) with a total of 60 years experience working with hazardous and explosive materials.
