This OSHA Process Safety Management Training course consists of 6 lessons. Students are required to take each lesson in sequential order as listed below.
OSHA Process Safety Management Training: Introduction
Lesson 1: Introduction to Process Safety Management
Process safety management (PSM) is a systematic approach to preventing catastrophic accidents involving hazardous chemicals. This lesson introduces the concept, its importance, and its foundational elements. It explores the industries subject to PSM regulations and delves into the core components of a comprehensive PSM program.
Lesson 2: Process Safety Information
This lesson will introduce the concept of PSI and its vital role in ensuring process safety. The lesson explores how PSI serves as a detailed blueprint of a chemical process, outlining potential hazards and providing essential information for managing risks. It explained the key components of PSI, identifies its stakeholders, and recognizes the significance of chemical information in safeguarding processes and operations in facilities.
Lesson 3: Process Hazard Analysis
This lesson highlights the critical importance of process hazard analysis (PHA) in preventing catastrophic incidents within industries handling hazardous materials. It explores how PHA systematically identifies, assesses, and controls potential hazards. By examining various PHA methodologies, including What-If Analysis, Checklist Analysis, Hazard and Operability Study, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis, and Fault Tree Analysis, the lesson provides a framework for minimizing risk and preventing catastrophic incidents.
Lesson 4: Operating Procedures
