In this training course, participants will learn the fundamentals of Process Safety Management, and the main standard frameworks for it. Topics include:
- What Is PSM?
- How is it distinct from occupational safety?
- How has it evolved?
- How are process safety hazards identified and assessed?
- What are barriers?
- How should we manage the barriers?
- How emergency planning and response fits into PSM
- Importance of “lessons learned”
Practical exercises will be included at all stages where it is appropriate to do so, and the training will be delivered in an interactive format.
