Description
Reactive chemical hazards must be addressed in PHA studies. However, addressing chemical reactivity hazards is more challenging than for toxic, flammable and explosive hazards because chemical reactivity hazards are not as well recognized or understood. Also, hazard scenarios involving reactivity hazards are more involved and harder to identify.
Many accidents have occurred as a result of inadequate understanding of or protection against chemical reactivity hazards. A CSB study of reactivity incidents found that 60% involved inadequate practices for identifying hazards and conducting PHA studies. Thus, it is important that chemical reactivity hazards be addressed properly in PHA.
This course describes chemical reactivity hazards and provides a procedure to address them in PHA studies. Attendees receive an electronic copy of the course materials.
