Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) Updating/Revalidation Training | Course 9
This training course prepares you to execute a process hazard analysis (PHA) revalidation that complies with PSM regulations and industry standards. PHAs usually must be updated and revalidated every 5 years. Several factors determine the extent of the revalidation analysis, including the quality of your previous PHAs and its documentation, process and facility changes, incidents during the past 5 years, and new interpretations of codes and standards. In some cases a complete “redo” may be required if the previous PHA quality and documentation did not meet your standards or regulatory requirements.
