Process Hazard Analysis Emphasizing Ammonia Refrigeration Systems

This course explores the essentials of conducting effective PHAs for ammonia refrigerated facilities, including regulatory requirements under OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM) standard and EPA's Risk Management Plan (RMP) rule. Attendees will receive updates on how the recent SCCAP rule changes to RMP have impacted PHA requirements along with strategies to ensure compliance. In break-out group exercises, you will apply What-if/Checklist and HAZOP methodologies as part of a mock PHA for two different ammonia refrigeration systems. This course is your opportunity to improve your ability to identify hazards, evaluate risks, and implement effective recommendations to ensure ammonia refrigeration systems safety.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand PHA regulatory requirements under OSHA’s PSM standard and EPA’s RMP rule
  • Develop and apply PHA methodologies, including What-if/Checklist and HAZOP, to identify and evaluate hazards effectively
  • Enhance ammonia refrigeration system safety through actionable recommendations based on thorough hazard analyses

Who Should Attend:

  • PSM coordinators and safety/environmental professionals responsible for managing PSM programs and organizing/leading PHAs
  • Refrigeration operators and design engineers working with ammonia systems and participating in PHAs
  • Consulting engineers and process safety professionals who will lead PHAs
