Process hazard analysis today is a complex job that demands deep knowledge.
Take this highly interactive, instructor-led combo course to learn and practice the basic and advanced methods and tools of process hazard analysis.
We’ve combined AIChE’s HAZOP Studies and Other PHA Techniques for Process Safety and Risk Management course with our Advanced Concepts for Process Hazard Analysis course to give you the most up-to-date and thorough PHA training available.
Spend the first three days learning how to identify and eliminate hazards in your workplace and prepare for, conduct and report an effective PHA. The next two days, go beyond the basics as you engage in the hands-on practice you need to confidently apply HAZOP and other PHA methods in your workplace.
Featuring expert hazard risk/evaluation instructors, guided exercises, group interaction and the PHA techniques successfully being used in the process safety industry today, this combo course is a fast way to build new skills for PHA veterans, novices, and everyone in between.

Here’s a preview of what you’ll learn:
HAZOP Studies and Other PHA Techniques for Process Safety and Risk Management (CH157):
- Apply the anatomy of a process safety incident.
- Analyze a process using the HAZOP Study methodology to determine what can go wrong.
- Use tools and techniques for analyzing scenario risks and the adequacy of safeguards.
- Identify what can go wrong with a procedure-based operation.
- Select a PHA method that is appropriate to the complexity of the process under study.
- Prepare to lead and document a process hazard analysis.
Advanced Concepts for Process Hazard Analysis (CH754):
- Draw a bow tie / barrier diagram using a standardized approach.
- Use Excel spreadsheets and apply the cause-by-cause HAZOP Study approach to analyze an example process.
- Calculate risk analysis importance measures.
- Determine the required safety integrity level for a safety instrumented function.
- Identify what can go wrong in a process having chemical reactivity hazards.
- Employ readily available resources to estimate the effects of various loss events.
