Process Safety Management is a “disciplined framework for managing the integrity of operating systems and processes that handle hazardous substances,” and the goal is to prevent unplanned releases of hazardous materials or energy to prevent structural failure or loss of stability that could lead to a major incident.
The term Process Safety Management (PSM) became prominent because of an OSHA regulation that requires businesses to properly manage hazardous chemicals, with the goal of creating safe workplaces and preventing “unexpected releases of toxic, reactive, or flammable liquids and gases” that can cause disasters. Process Safety Management systems are usually a blend of technology platforms, specific procedures and management frameworks.
This comprehensive training course will provide an overview of each of the PSM elements.
