Wolters Kluwer Enablon Launches New Process Hazard Analysis Application That Drives Integrated Process Safety Management

New SaaS application transforms static hazard assessments into dynamic, data-driven risk management across industrial enterprises

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wolters Kluwer today announced the launch of Enablon Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), a new, cloud-native SaaS application designed to revolutionize how organizations manage operational risk, safety, and compliance across industrial sites.

Enablon’s new PHA application introduces a new standard in risk intelligence by integrating hazard identification and risk assessments with real-time barrier monitoring, bowtie visualization, and Control of Work. This marks a significant step in expanding Enablon’s risk management capabilities for industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, and manufacturing. Unlike traditional desktop tools, Enablon PHA is built as a cloud-native SaaS application, enabling centralized collaboration and integration across process safety management (PSM) elements.

Enablon’s new PHA application’s core capabilities include:

• Dynamic risk intelligence: Transforms static hazard assessments into continuously updated risk profiles, using live and historical data.
• Lifecycle management: Supports planning, execution, review, and revalidation of PHA studies with full audit trails and version control.
• Cloud-based PHA workshop: Provides a secure online environment for conducting PHA sessions, supporting established methodologies such as HAZOP and LOPA. Facilitates collaboration and documentation for distributed teams.
• Legacy data import: Enables migration of existing PHA studies from third-party tools into Enablon for centralized management.

Additionally, the new PHA application connects with other Enablon solutions, such as Bowtie Visualization, Barrier Management, and Action Plan Tracking, to deliver a unified approach to Process Safety Management, when paired with corresponding modules.

Richard Pulliam, SVP & General Manager, Wolters Kluwer EHS & ESG, said:
“With the launch of Enablon’s new PHA application, we’re empowering organizations to move beyond static assessments and embrace dynamic, data-driven risk management. What sets Enablon PHA apart is its integrated risk intelligence, which connects hazard identification with barrier monitoring to deliver real-time risk awareness. This solution provides instant visibility, enterprise scalability, and compliance confidence, helping our customers make safer decisions, faster.”

Enablon’s new PHA application helps organizations:

• Enhance safety and compliance, by reducing the risk of serious incidents, minimizing downtime, and maintaining regulatory alignment.
• Drive operational efficiency, by breaking down silos between engineering and operations, enabling faster and safer decision-making.
• Reduce operational risk, improve safeguard reliability, and lower costs associated with PHA revalidations.
• Drive timely revalidation and revisions, while ensuring full traceability, ultimately helping to reduce audit penalties and improve readiness.
• Achieve real-time visibility into barrier degradation and cumulative risk across sites, through dashboards that empower proactive risk management.
