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.
Engineers, Executives, Supervisors, and Managers especially those who work in Process Engineering, HSE, Risk Management, Plant Operations, Process Safety, and Fire & Explosion Investigation will benefit by attending this course.
