Overview of Process Safety Management (PSM)

This course offers a comprehensive look at the elements of Process Safety Management (PSM), as outlined by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) PSM Standard (29 CFR 1910.119) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Risk Management Program (RMP) Rule (40 CFR 68). It aims to reduce chemical accidents and manage the release of hazardous chemicals. The course aids participants in understanding these 'performance-based' regulations, and in designing and implementing effective PSM programs for covered processes. While the focus is on regulatory compliance, the course encourages fostering a safety-focused culture and adhering to inherent safety principles. Whether experienced professionals or beginners, participants will be prepared to not only comply with regulatory requirements, but also to foster a strong safety culture, encourage continual improvement, and apply industry best practices.

This course offers a comprehensive exploration of Process Safety Management (PSM) principles as outlined by the U.S. Occupational and Safety Administration (OSHA) PSM Standard, 29 CFR1910.119, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Risk Management Program (RMP) Rule, 40 CFR 68. These were established with the intent to minimize chemical accidents and manage the release of highly hazardous flammable and toxic chemicals. This course will guide you through interpreting these ‘performance-based’ regulations and developing and implementing a PSM program for a process under the purview of the OSHA PSM regulation and the EPA RMP rule. Participants will gain insights on ensuring your PSM program meets regulatory requirements and is implemented through an effective management system to enhance business performance. Discussions will also cover impending changes and their status in the rule-making process, to better prepare you for future revisions. This course extends beyond mere regulatory compliance, and covers concepts on fostering a culture of safety, metrics for continual improvement, and principles of inherent safety. Participants will be privy to industry best practices and lessons learned.
