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
Course content
Modules
01Process safety fundamentals
Distinguishes process safety from occupational safety and explains major-accident risk.
02Process hazard analysis
HAZOP and related methods for identifying process hazards.
03Mechanical integrity
Inspection, testing, and maintenance of safety-critical equipment.
04Management of change
Controlling process, equipment, and organisational change safely.
05Operating procedures and readiness
Procedures, pre-startup review, and safe operating limits.
06Incident investigation and learning
Teaches how to investigate process incidents and embed the lessons.
Who it is for
Target audience
Plant managers, process safety engineers, and operations leaders in refining, petrochemicals, and gas processing.
