Process safety management is a framework that provides important information about the hazards, risks any industrial plants can face. It helps the operator of hazardous facilities to get an overview and understanding about the business and how to manage process safety risks to operate safely.
PSM is a system and covers all areas of operation.
This Process Safety Management Foundations training course follows the best practices published by both the PSM frameworks developed by the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS-RBPS) and Energy Institute (EI).
This Energy Training Centre training course will highlight:
- The elements and key principles of PSM
- Hazard identification and risk assessment
- The accident pathway and potential consequences of accidents
- Asset integrity, control systems in place and their effectiveness
- Learning from accidents and near misses
- Key performance indicators to monitor the overall performance of the plant to improve process safety.
At the end of this Process Safety Management Foundations training course, you will learn:
- How your PSM system is functioning
- How to prevent incidents
- What is the level of safety culture in your company and how to improve it
