What is Process Safety Management?
Process Safety Management (PSM) is a systematic approach to identify, evaluate, and control risks associated with highly hazardous chemical processes—reducing the potential for fires, explosions, and toxic releases. The course is built around international standards including OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 and CCPS guidelines.
Typical sectors: oil & gas refineries, petrochemicals, manufacturing, power & utilities, and chemical storage/distribution facilities.
