Course description
Process Safety Management Best Practice - 5 Day Training Course
Process safety has hit the headlines in recent years following the major explosions and fires at BP’s Texas City refinery and the Buncefield storage depot in the UK. The Baker panel review in the USA and the Health and Safety Executive’s ‘Leading from the top - avoiding major accidents’ programme in the UK has amplified the importance of effective Process Safety Management (PSM).
An essential part of effective PSM is an integrated and comprehensive PSM system. The PSM system needs to include both technical and organisational elements as specified in the OSHA CFR 1910 for PSM, and the UK HSE’s HSG 65 successful Health and Safety management. The latter is used as the framework for demonstrating that UK COMAH sites comply with the requirements of the Seveso II directive.
This training course is based on the PSM framework provided by OSHA in the USA and by the HSE in the UK. It also includes the practical experience of TÜV Rheinland Industrial Services process safety consultants in the design and operation of high hazard process plants.
