Episode 36 - Best Practices for Remote PHAs

In the age of COVID-19, many services moved online to be held remotely, and Process Hazard Analyses (PHAs) were no exception. In this episode, consultants Rob and Elena talk about what they've learned over the past year when it comes to remote PHAs, including what works best and what unique challenges you might be faced with. You'll learn how remote PHA prep looks different, our thoughts on using cameras, how best to virtually "manage" the room, tips for dealing with P&IDs and other needed documentation, how we handle breaks, field verification, and "zoom fatigue", and our thoughts on efficiency and scheduling when it comes to longer PHAs. Whether you participate in PHA studies as a facilitator or just a member of the team, you're sure to find value in this episode.
