COURSE OVERVIEW

 

Are you staying up to speed with your Process Safety Management (PSM) program? The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) created the first PSM requirements in 1992 in response to a series of catastrophic incidents related to highly hazardous chemicals (HHC). These requirements have been updated and expanded several times in the last two decades, and all HHC-related companies should keep a lookout as they operate and expand. To make sure your company is compliant, keep in mind the following 14 elements that OSHA inspectors will look for when they review your PSM program. 

 

This course is designed to provide participant with a fundamental overview of process safety management. 

It covers the various analysis and techniques used in process safety management; the pre-startup safety review procedures, PSSR procedures and mechanical integrity; the process safety information, technical data regarding the HHC-related risks, process hazard analysis and consequences of safety failures; and the operating procedures and the potential chemical hazards. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the technical data regarding the HHC-related risks, process hazard analysis and consequences of safety failures; the operating procedures and the potential chemical hazards; the proper training and using training management software; the hazards, potential fire, explosion or toxic release hazards; the safety procedures, pre-startup safety reviews and mechanical integrity; and the periodic, documented inspections for pressure vessels, storage tanks, piping systems and ventilation systems. 

 

During this highly interactive course, participants will learn the testing procedures must follow “recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices,” according to OSHA; the hot work permit and issue permits to employees and contractors; the standard procedures for managing changes to process chemicals, technology, equipment and procedures; the proper incident investigation, emergency planning and response and emergency plans for handling smaller HHC releases; and the compliance audit, enhancing worker safety and managing PSM in a professional manner.
