Course Description
This course goes beyond the dated requirements of OSHA’s and EPA’s process safety requirements and includes CCPS RBPS and other elements that are important for the comprehensive management of process safety. Facilities that implement process safety management (PSM) programs to comply with government regulations or follow industry guidelines must ensure that their personnel understand process safety and their role in its continuous implementation. This course provides the most comprehensive treatment of process safety currently available. It is intended to help companies build more robust, complete, and effective process safety management programs.
The course incorporates elements required by process safety regulations such as process hazard analysis and mechanical integrity. It also includes CCPS’s Risk Based Process Safety (RBPS) program elements such as performance indicators and competency. However, the course goes above and beyond CCPS’s RBPS program to include additional elements that are now recognized as key aspects of process safety such as alarm management and damage mechanism reviews.
Instructor-led discussions, workshops, and exercises are used to assist attendees in understanding and applying vital aspects of process safety elements.
