Process Safety Management
About this course

Overview

Major accidents are almost never caused by a single failure. Set in refining, petrochemicals and gas processing, this works through the process safety elements as a connected system rather than a documentation exercise, and on what makes each one actually function.

What you will be able to do

Learning outcomes

  • Describe how PSM elements interact as a system
  • Participate in a process hazard analysis
  • Assess mechanical integrity requirements
  • Apply management of change rigorously
  • Strengthen process safety culture on site
What the course sets out to do

Course objectives

  • Explain the elements of a PSM system
  • Apply process hazard analysis methods
  • Manage mechanical integrity of critical equipment
  • Control change and pre-startup safety
  • Learn from incidents and near misses
