Course Introduction
Process Safety Management (PSM) is a disciplined framework for managing the integrity of operating systems and processes that handle hazardous substances. Failure to implement an effective PSM system can lead to catastrophic incidents, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage.
This 5-day intensive training provides participants with practical tools and methods to identify, assess, and manage operational risks while ensuring regulatory compliance. The course is based on international standards including OSHA’s PSM (29 CFR 1910.119) and CCPS guidelines, offering a strategic understanding of risk, safety, and compliance for industrial operations.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the core elements and principles of Process Safety Management
- Identify and control hazards related to chemical and industrial processes
- Apply risk assessment methodologies such as HAZOP and LOPA
- Ensure compliance with international process safety regulations
- Design and evaluate effective safety management systems
- Integrate PSM with operational and corporate risk strategies
Key Benefits of Attending
- Gain in-depth knowledge of risk-based PSM frameworks
- Learn from real-life incidents and their root cause analysis
- Improve safety culture and minimize high-consequence risks
- Ensure compliance with regulatory and industry requirements
- Enhance your organization’s resilience and operational integrity
