Process Safety Management (PSM)
Description: Process Safety Management (PSM) is a regulatory framework designed to prevent the release of hazardous chemicals and protect workers, facilities, and surrounding communities.
PSM focuses on identifying and managing risks associated with highly hazardous processes through procedures, employee training, mechanical integrity programs, and ongoing safety reviews.
This training helps organizations understand OSHA PSM requirements and implement effective safety systems to reduce the likelihood of serious incidents.
Requirements: OSHA 1910.120(q)
Scope: This course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of Process Safety Management (PSM) principles and the regulatory requirements outlined in OSHA 1910.120(q). The training focuses on identifying, evaluating, and controlling hazards associated with highly hazardous chemicals and complex industrial processes.
Participants will learn the core elements of PSM, including process hazard analysis, operating procedures, employee participation, training requirements, mechanical integrity, management of change, incident investigation, and emergency planning and response. The course also covers best practices for implementing and maintaining a compliant PSM program that supports safe operations and regulatory compliance.
Through practical examples and guided instruction, attendees will gain the knowledge needed to recognize potential process safety risks, develop preventive controls, and support the implementation of effective safety management systems within their organization. This training is intended for supervisors, safety professionals, operations personnel, and managers responsible for process safety, regulatory compliance, and incident prevention in facilities that handle hazardous chemicals.
Who Should Attend: This course is designed for personnel responsible for implementing, managing, or supporting Process Safety Management (PSM) programs within their organization. It is particularly beneficial for individuals working in industries that handle or process hazardous chemicals and are required to comply with OSHA 1910.120(q) regulations.
Recommended attendees include:
Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) professionals
Plant managers and facility managers
Operations and production supervisors
Process engineers and maintenance personnel
Safety committee members
Emergency response team members
Compliance officers and risk management personnel
This training is ideal for organizations seeking to strengthen their process safety systems, improve regulatory compliance, and reduce the risk of hazardous chemical incidents that could impact workers, facilities, and surrounding communities.
