Course Summary

Formal Process Safety Management systems (PSM) are now mandated in most parts of the world as a way of achieving process safety and improving practices. PSM systems have therefore been implemented in most companies for many years. However, incident investigations continue to identify inadequate management system performance as a key contributor to the incident and audits reveal a history of repeat findings indicating chronic problems whose symptoms are fixed again and again without effectively addressing the technical and cultural root causes.

Risk-Based Process Safety Management training course have been created by a number of organisations as the framework for the next generation of process safety management, recognizing that all hazards and risks in an operation or facility are not equal. Typically, these systems apportion resources in a manner that focuses effort on greater hazards and higher risks as appropriate. This risk-based approach reduces the potential for assigning an undue amount of resources to managing lower-risk activities, thereby freeing up resources for tasks that address higher-risk activities.

The Risk-Based Process Safety Management training course will raise the awareness and understanding of employees to recognize the importance of process safety and how it influences day-to-day work activities. Using the RBPS approach will provide the foundation to achieving a proactive risk based process safety culture which is essential to operations and work ethics.

Participants attending this training course will develop the following competencies:

  • Understand hazards and risks
  • Commit to process safety and the way of working
  • Learn to assess and manage risk in design, operation and maintenance
  • A willingness and ability to learn from their own and others’ experiences.
