Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) Software
Primatech, Inc.ard Analysis (PHA) Software

Since 1988, Primatech has been the leader in Primatech, Inc.ard Analysis (PHA) software. From our original program, HAZOP-PC, to our latest release of PHAWorks, Primatech is the industry standard when it comes to PHA software. Our twelve years of software development experience, combined with your constant interaction, has helped develop PHAWorks 4.1 into the most powerful and easiest-to-use PHA software available.

Use any of nine different PHA techniques (Checklist, What If, What If Checklist, FMEA, HAZOP, PrHA, RMP Hazard/Standards Review), revalidate projects, create custom reports, insert links, use navigation controls, employ multiple worksheet/format views, print reports to electronic HTML files, draw on technical tools, plus much more. PHAWorks provides a structured methodology to guide the study team, with built-in resources to automate the repetitive and tedious aspects of recording hazard analysis sessions.

PHAWorks 4.1:

  • PHAWorks 4.1 will give you the capability to generate reports to either HTML or PDF files. Email electronic copies of reports to view without having PHAWorks 4.1. Save electronic versions of your PHAWorks 4.1 reports in your EDMS system. Viewing and saving reports using PHAWorks 4.1 is even more flexible than ever.
  • Use Quick Copy to copy worksheet data from within the same project or another project without moving from your location in the worksheet.
  • Use data in Quick Entry lists across all columns for all project types.
  • Print notes attached to nodes, systems, parameters, subsystems and worksheet entries.
  • Include cover page and index when printing reports.
  • Change column relationships even after data has been entered.
  • Scale reports to fit your selected paper size.

PHAWorks 4.1 now guides you through not only initial PHAs but also revalidation's and updates so you can keep your PHAs up to date. Revalidation features include:

  • Built-in protocols in the form of checklists to ensure your PHA will meet regulatory and technical requirements.
  • Archiving the previous PHA before updating/revalidating to ensure that you keep a copy of all PHAs performed.
  • Checkboxes to demonstrate you have reviewed parts of your PHA.
  • Notes that can be attached to entries in the PHA to explain changes that have been made.

PHAWorks 4.1:

  • Allows you to conduct PHA studies using either the traditional spreadsheet (left to right) or datasheet (top to bottom) formats.
  • Enables you to conduct PHAs using all the commonly used techniques (Checklist, What-if, What-if Checklist, FMEA, HAZOP, PrHA, RMP Hazard Review, and RMP Standards Review).

You can customize and accelerate your PHAs using PHAWorks 4.1, which allows you to:

  • Specify your own banner names, worksheet column headings and report layout text. This allows you to use your own customizations of the standard PHA techniques and also accommodates those who require non-English banner, column and report layout text.
  • Use Sage, a knowledge base of causes of deviations for process equipment, to automate your HAZOP studies to save team time and improve study quality.
  • Open other programs or documents (including accessing the Internet) from within the PHAWorks 4.1 worksheet to display information needed by the PHA team, for example operating procedures.
  • Count occurrences of data types in your PHA using a new statistical report. This report helps to summarize the results of the PHA to facilitate understanding and decision making by management.
  • View referenced entries in the worksheet without leaving the current entry. You can also jump directly to the referenced text, if desired.
  • Easily track who attended PHA studies using master and project team databases.
