Kenexis Open PHA is a software solution specifically designed for the documentation, analysis, and maintenance of Process Hazards Analysis (PHA) studies, such as Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) and Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA). This product is targeted towards professionals in Process Safety Engineering, Risk Analysis, Safety Consulting, and the Chemical and Process Industries, including the Oil and Gas sector.

## Key Features

**Cloud-based Software**: Kenexis Open PHA offers a cloud-based software platform that enables the secure storage, sharing, and collaboration of PHA study data, including HAZOP and LOPA. It provides controlled access for editing and viewing files within a site, corporate, and with third parties, ensuring data integrity and version control.

**Desktop Version**: Kenexis Open PHA also provides a desktop version that can be used for HAZOP and LOPA workshops in remote locations with limited internet access. This version is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, allowing for local storage of files and offline work capabilities.

**Integration Capability**: Open-PHA™ supports seamless integration with other Kenexis software tools, allowing for the synchronization of Independent Protection Functions (IPFs) from Open-PHA™ Cloud with software used for SIL Verification or Fault-tree Analysis. This integration capability enables the creation of dashboards for critical safety study data and the generation of custom reports using word processing software.

**Automatic Updates**: Kenexis Open PHA Cloud and Desktop versions are designed to automatically update at no additional charge. This ensures that users have access to the latest features, enhancements, and bug fixes without the need for manual software revisions or upgrade fees.

**Data Portability**: Kenexis Open PHA ensures data portability by allowing easy export of study data. This enables users to use the data in other applications or share it with external stakeholders, without being locked into a proprietary format.

**Customizable Templates and Reporting**: Kenexis Open PHA provides customizable templates and reporting options for various aspects of PHA studies. Users can tailor risk matrix, likelihood categories, consequence categories, risk rankings, nodes, deviations, HAZOP and LOPA worksheets, recommendations, safeguards, a parking lot, and checklist to meet their specific requirements. This flexibility allows for the generation of reports that align with individual needs.

**Open Source JSON Data Structure**: Kenexis Open PHA utilizes an open-source JSON standardized data structure, which simplifies the documentation and visualization of PHA studies. This data structure eliminates the need for data manipulation across multiple files or formats, ensuring consistency and efficiency in hazard register creation.

**Support for Explicit and Implicit LOPA**: Kenexis Open PHA supports both explicit and implicit Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) methodologies. In explicit LOPA, the software enables the establishment of a target maximum event likelihood (TMEL) based on consequence severity, explicit definition of causes' frequencies, and application of frequency modifiers for Independent Protection Layers (IPLs). In implicit LOPA, the concept of "LOPA credits" can be effectively employed.

**Easy Migration and Training**: Kenexis offers assistance in migrating from existing PHA software to Kenexis Open PHA, including the creation of merge tools and porting of PHA studies. Training is provided to ensure a smooth transition and effective utilization of the software's capabilities.

Open PHA Desktop and Open PHA Cloud are tools for performing, analyzing, and maintaining HAZOP, LOPA, and Security PHA Review studies, from Kenexis headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Open PHA Desktop is free and a standalone desktop application available on Windows, Mac, and Linux based operating systems. Open PHA Cloud is a module in the Kenexis Integrated Safety Suite (KISS) and runs in a browser.
