Process Hazard Analysis

The Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) Module enables systematic tracking, follow-up, and closure of action items arising from hazard assessments—whether conducted internally or imported from third-party PHA software.

Designed to align with regulatory frameworks like OSHA’s Process Safety Management (29 CFR 1910.119), CCPS Guidelines, and ISO 45001, this module streamlines the management of recommendations and corrective actions related to process safety.

⚙️ Action Item Tracking from Start to Verification

Track every PHA action item across its entire lifecycle, using a comprehensive data model:

  • Reference Number
  • Recommendation
  • Preventive / Corrective designation
  • Priority and Target Date
  • Completion Before Approval flags
  • Approval Required, Approver identity
  • Completion Response, Completed By, Completed Date
  • Verified Date, Verified By

Each action is fully traceable, auditable, and designed to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

🔁 Import from Standalone PHA Software

Already using tools like PHAWorks™, PHA-Pro™, or custom Excel-based PHA logs?

No problem.

  • Import recommendations and action items directly from external systems
  • Standardize them in EXP’s secure, cloud-based module
  • Route each item through automated workflows with due dates and escalation rules
  • Link to existing incident, audit, or compliance records where applicable

Supports seamless integration for continued tracking and closure beyond the PHA study session.

💰 Track Cost, Effort & Justification

Capture resource and budget data for better decision-making:

  • Indirect Person Hours
  • Direct Cost, Currency
  • Safeguards already in place
  • Justify or defer actions based on transparent, auditable reasoning

Custom reporting helps teams and regulators understand where time and resources are going.

🔍 Risk Context: Severity × Probability = Risk Score

Enable smarter prioritization using integrated risk ranking fields:

  • Severity (Sev)
  • Probability (Prob)
  • Risk – Calculated or manually scored
  • Category – Process, Mechanical Integrity, Human Factors, etc.

Complies with industry risk-based methodologies (e.g., LOPA, HAZOP).

🔄 Built-in Workflow & Status Tracking

Use EXP’s flexible workflow engine to:

  • Route actions to assigned owners
  • Trigger alerts and reminders based on due dates or overdue status
  • Log status transitions: Open, In Progress, Submitted for Approval, Closed, etc.
  • Apply conditional logic (e.g., prevent closure until verified)

📊 Visual Dashboards & Reporting

Gain insight into:

  • Overdue PHA actions
  • Status by PHA node, cause, or consequence
  • Risk reduction efforts vs. costs
  • Team performance on closing items

Generate regulator-ready PDF reports with one click, including risk matrices and completion timelines.

🔗 Root Cause Linkage & Process Mapping

Tie action items directly to:

  • PHA Node, Deviation, Causes, and Consequences
  • Incidents or near-misses from field operations
  • Documents, operating procedures, or audit findings

Enable continuous improvement by connecting insights across your safety and operations ecosystem.

🛡️ Compliant, Configurable & Secure

  • Aligns with OSHA PSM, EPA RMP, ISO 45001, and ISO 31000
  • Role-based access with audit trails
  • Configurable fields, templates, and workflows
  • Cloud-native and mobile-friendly for field follow-up

✅ Why Use EXP's PHA Module?

  • Simplifies post-study follow-up of critical actions
  • Ensures accountability and traceability
  • Reduces risk and improves audit readiness
  • Unifies safety, engineering, and compliance teams around actionable data
