IHS PHA-Pro®
Minimize Risk Exposure
Why is PHA-Pro like the human brain?
Scientists have discovered that as humans learn new things, the brain creates new
pathways and connections and those same pathways are re-enforced the more they are
used, thereby making them stronger and faster. PHA-Pro is a risk assessment software
that has similar characteristics. As engineers and HSE experts use PHA-Pro, they build
a library of knowledge base for hazards, causes, consequences and risks - by the 5th
or 6th use, customers have reported an 80% efficiency gain, saving time and improving
on data integrity. The more PHA-Pro is used the better it gets at recommendation
management and supporting the creation of new risk assessments.
Why is PHA-Pro the right tool for the job?
Using common spreadsheet software to create PHAs and other types of risk assessments
leads to very complex documents which are difficult and time consuming to create and
then maintain. PHA-Pro is a specialized risk assessment software that offers capabilities
that are built for purpose. For instance, PHA-Pro supports one to many relationships so
that you can easily create multiple consequences per cause, or quickly drag and drop
elements and all associated information from one node to another. This means that you
save time, effort, and reduce complexity in creating your HAZOP, JSA/JHA, LOPA and other
types of PHA assessments - and more importantly you can focus on your primary purpose
of reducing risks and preventing injuries rather than re-formatting data.
How does PHA-Pro make your risk assessments easy?
Process engineers and other HSE specialists can spend as much as 50% of their workday
searching for information - this puts a definite drag on productivity. PHA-Pro makes for
‘easy input’ and ‘easy output’. It is quick to learn and use with little or no training, adoption
rates are high throughout our customer base as PHA-Pro has a similar look and feel to
standard Windows® software. PHA-Pro makes it easy to input nodes/deviations with
related causes, consequences and risks. Information is then readily accessible to view and
share through built in reporting functionality or supported export formats such as HTML,
PDF, MS Word and MS Excel.
Companies can recover the cost of PHA-Pro in as little as one study
PHA-Pro, the leading Process Hazard Analysis and HAZOP software, assists organizations with the
implementation of risk studies easily and thoroughly, resulting in a more responsive and efficient
business process. Used across process industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
It is designed to help your organization put corporate-wide risk policies and programs into place and
aid in the adoption of standards and regulations.
