Why Select this Training Course?

Process safety management (PSM) is an essential element in the mitigation of risks related to hazardous processing. By giving decisive priority to the operations of these processes, organisations can prevent serious accidents and injuries resulting from malfunctioning processes, procedures, or equipment. The Rcademy Process Safety Management (PSM) Certification Training Course is structured to cover the basics and latest topics on process safety, including its history, trends, and current events. It also exposes participants to compliance with international standards and provides an opportunity to take positive action in advance to ensure compliance with legislation. Participants will also be shown how to use several standard process safety management tools within their organisation.

The Rcademy Process Safety Management (PSM) Certification Training Course covers comprehensively the creation of a process management system, including asset management and maintenance strategy, safe start-up and shutdown of plant processes, performance standards for critical systems and equipment, the use of hazards controls, and the purpose and features of emergency plans. The training course is designed to deliver expertise in process safety leadership, risk management, hazard safety control, fire protection, and emergency response.

What does Process Safety Management stand for?

PSM stands for Process Safety Management. OSHA designed the Process Safety Management Standard to deal with the manufacturing of explosives and processes that involve flammable liquids or gases above the threshold limits (10,000 lbs) as well as 137 highly hazardous chemicals.

Why is Process Safety Management important?

By understanding the potential dangers involved in processes and implementing appropriate precautions, accidents and work injuries can be avoided. PSM helps achieve this by deploying technology that creates a safe work environment for your employees and prevents the business from suffering financial losses from process accidents. The 14 aspects of PSM assist you in knowing and following the rules that can be implemented to draw attention to and minimise the danger that might happen within the area.

Who Should Attend?

The Rcademy Process Safety Management (PSM) Certification Training Course is specifically tailored for:

  • PSM workforce members who directly engage in or oversee process safety management practices.
  • Senior engineers, such as those in reliability, inspection, operations, etc., who play key roles in ensuring process safety.
  • PSM managers responsible for overseeing the implementation of process safety protocols and procedures.
  • PSM supervisors who lead teams in executing process safety measures effectively.
  • Plant or unit managers and team leads who oversee overall process safety within their respective areas.
  • Heads of departments, including operations, maintenance, inspection, and engineering, who are responsible for various aspects of process safety management.
  • Individuals tasked with communicating process safety information to workers, ensuring understanding and compliance across the workforce.

What are the Course Objectives?

By completing the Rcademy Process Safety Management (PSM) Certification Training Course successfully, participants will be able to:

  • Understand how PSM systems could be used in organisations to handle process safety hazards.
  • Learn about the fundamental role of PSM and how it identifies, evaluates, and prevents or reduces the risks posed by processes that do not run smoothly.
  • Understand how to recognise process safety and major accident hazards in your organisation.
  • Evaluate the risks involved in processes and define the pivotal controls that avoid hazards.
  • Gain expertise on how to identify static and dynamic approaches to obstacle management.
  • Learn theoretically about contraceptive techniques such as safety barrier management to assess process safety and root cause incidents.
  • Gain practical experience with PSM tools by analysing the system with bowtie diagrams, etc.
  • Learn the characteristics of different types of barriers, such as equipment (plant), labour (people), and procedure (process).

How will this Course be Presented?
