My visual of how I facilitate PHA(s)
Last week I shared a fun exercise we can do with management to gauge their knowledge of the safety barriers/controls/safeguards within their business. This PREVENT-PROTECT-MITIGATE model works in both OSH and Process Safety matters and provides a visual structure within which the team can work.

Facilitating Process Hazard(s) Analysis (PHA) is one of my favorite process safety skills. From having the honor to be the author of Part II in the CCPS's Hazard Evaluation Techniques (3rd Edition) to working with several software companies on the development of their PHA products, there is nothing better than facilitating an actual PHA with a talented team of Engineers, EHS professionals, Operators, and Maintenance personnel. In every one of my PHAs, I explain the process using this simple PREVENT-PROTECT-MITIGATE model. I then challenge the team to identify the safeguards they have in place that fit into these three (3) layers of protection for each scenario studied.
