Process Hazard & Risk Analysis
TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Programme
This Process Hazard & Risk Analysis (PH&RA) course is part of the TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Programme.
Controlling risks within high hazard industries requires a robust process safety management (PSM) system and the experienced application of process hazard and risk analysis (PH&RA) techniques. The course demonstrates how to apply theory in practice, using simple and more complex examples to illustrate key points. Participants who successfully pass the examination will be awarded a FS Engineer (TÜV Rheinland) Certificate.
