Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. Unexpected releases of toxic, reactive, or flammable liquids and gases in processes involving highly hazardous chemicals have been reported for many years in various industries that use chemicals with such properties. Regardless of the industry that uses these highly hazardous chemicals, there is a potential for an accidental release any time they are not properly controlled, creating the possibility of disaster. To help ensure safe and healthful workplaces, OSHA has issued the Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemical standards , which contains requirements for the management of hazards associated with processes using highly hazardous chemicals. Process safety management (PSM) is addressed in specific standards for the general and construction industries. OSHA?s standard emphasizes the management of hazards associated with highly hazardous chemicals and establishes a comprehensive management program that integrates technologies, procedures and management practices. PSM System auditing is an independent appraisal function undertaken by an organization to examine and evaluate its activities. The objective of PSM auditing is to provide information to those in management in support of decision making and to assist members of the organization in the effective discharge of their responsibilities. To this end, PSM auditing may furnish the organization with analyses, appraisals, recommendations, counsel, or information concerning the activities reviewed the adequacy and effectiveness of the organization?s system of PSM control, and the quality of performance. The information furnished to different members of the organization may vary in format and detail, depending upon the requirements and requests of those commissioning the audit(s). Throughout the world PSM auditing is performed in diverse environments and within organizations which vary in purpose, size, and structure. In addition, the laws and customs within various countries differ from one another. These differences may affect the practice of PSM auditing in each environment. The implementation of these Standards, therefore, will be governed by the environment in which the auditing function carries out its assigned responsibilities. Conformance with the concepts enunciated by the Standards is essential before the responsibilities of PSM auditors can be met
