Understanding the Process Hazard Analysis (PHA)

The Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) is designed to identify and analyze potential hazards associated with the processing and/or handling of toxic, reactive, flammable or explosive chemicals. PHAs must be conducted when systems exceed threshold quantities of EPA-listed chemicals, or based upon other rationales that impact environmental, employee or process safety. Read the May issue of Hixson’s From Experience newsletter to learn more about PHAs, including the two PHA methods Hixson has found that will cover most food processing situations.
