The County reviews some of the Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) recommendations of the plants to ensure that industrial facilities implement them. Who determines which PHA recommendations are reviewed?
Contra Costa Health Services audits the facilities to ensure that they are following the requirements of the Industrial Safety Ordinance. The Process Hazard Analysis is an important element of the accident prevention program. We determine if the team who performs the PHA has the right expertise, experience, and the appropriate makeup. The PHA team is required to include someone who is knowledgeable in the PHA method that is being used, an operator from the unit that is being analyzed, the appropriate engineers, and other personnel with specific specialties as needed. Contra Costa Health Services personnel will then randomly select different PHA’s to review to ensure that they are complete with the appropriate documentation. The number of PHA’s reviewed is based on how many different processes there are at a facility and can range from 5% to 100% of the PHA’s for a facility.
