OSHA 1910.119 PHA Documentation Template (Excel)
The OSHA 1910.119 PHA Documentation Template (Excel) is a standardized, spreadsheet-based tool designed to systematically capture, organize, and retain all required elements of a Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) as mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Process Safety Management (PSM) standard. It ensures compliance with regulatory documentation requirements—including team composition, methodology selection, hazard identification, risk evaluation, recommendations, and follow-up tracking—while supporting traceability, audit readiness, and continuous improvement. The Excel format enables structured data entry, built-in validation (e.g., dropdowns, conditional formatting), and integration with facility PSM programs.
📖 Overview
📑 Key Components
🎯 Applications
- ✓ Conducting initial or revalidation PHAs for covered processes under OSHA PSM
- ✓ Supporting internal PSM audits and regulatory inspections (e.g., OSHA Compliance Safety and Health Evaluation Program)
- ✓ Integrating PHA outcomes into Mechanical Integrity, Operating Procedures, and Incident Investigation programs
📐 Key Formulas
Risk Priority Number (RPN)
Severity × Likelihood × Detectability
Semi-quantitative risk scoring used in FMEA-style PHA worksheets to prioritize hazards; values typically range from 1–125 (5×5×5 scale) or 1–27 (3×3×3 scale)
Recommendation Closure Rate
(Number of Closed Recommendations / Total Open + Closed Recommendations) × 100%
Metric tracking PHA effectiveness and PSM program maturity; often reported in PSM metrics dashboards
