Webinar Series: Safe Automation in the Process Industry

Episode 4: Are a Process Hazards Analysis (PHA) and a process Hazards and Risk Assessment (H&RA) the same thing?

In the third episode, we reviewed the main activities of the risk analysis used in evaluating process hazards, commonly referred to as a Process Hazards Analysis. However, if the risk analysis indicates that more risk reduction needs to be considered, either to meet the tolerable risk criteria or to satisfy ALARP principles, protection layers need to be identified. Do you know the key differences between safeguards and protection layers?

In the fourth episode of our “Safe Automation in the Process Industry” webinar series, we will discuss the difference between a PHA and an H&RA, focusing on the risk assessment activities that should follow the risk analysis. We will also review the core attributes that should apply to all process safety safeguards and the additional attributes that apply to protection layers.
