OSHA PSM training

Our OSHA Process Safety Management Training is developed in line with OSHA General Industry Standards 29 CFR 1910.119 for Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals. The OSHA PSM training takes a comprehensive approach to preventing catastrophic incidents in industries handling hazardous chemicals. This course guides the learner in understanding the critical elements of process safety management (PSM) to establish and maintain robust safety programs in facilities using various processes involving hazardous chemicals.

By exploring the historical context of industrial accidents, learners will understand the far-reaching consequences of process safety failures. The course explains the core components of a PSM system, including hazard identification, risk assessment, and control measures. Participants will learn to develop and implement effective operating procedures, process hazard analysis (PHA) techniques, contractor management strategies, and mechanical integrity programs. Additionally, the OSHA Process Safety Management Training course emphasizes the importance of emergency preparedness, incident investigation, and compliance auditing.

Who Needs OSHA PSM Training?

A PSM training course is invaluable for professionals working in industries with hazardous processes. This includes:

  • Process industry professionals;
  • Safety and environmental specialists;
  • Maintenance and engineering personnel; and
  • Contractors and subcontractors.

Essentially, anyone involved in the design, operation, maintenance, or oversight of processes involving hazardous chemicals can benefit from a deeper understanding of the OSHA PSM principles and practices.

The core objective of the OSHA Process Safety Management Training course is to equip learners with the knowledge and tools to establish and implement a comprehensive PSM program in alignment with OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1910.119. By the end of the course, learners will be able to develop and manage an effective OSHA PSM program to safeguard personnel, equipment, and the environment.

Course Objectives – OSHA Process Safety Management Training

After completing the course, the learner will be able to:
  • Define and explain the role of Process Safety Management (PSM) in preventing hazardous chemical incidents.
  • Examine historical case studies to understand the critical importance of PSM.
  • Outline the essential elements of a PSM program.
  • Explain how to document and visually represent process equipment information.
  • Understand the concept of process safety information (PSI) and its importance in PSM.
  • Explain the role of different types of process diagrams used in PSI.
  • Recognize the significance of chemical information, including SDS and hazard data, in process safety.
  • Understand the purpose and methods of Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) in risk assessment.
  • Describe different PHA methodologies and their application.
  • Highlight the significance of clear operating procedures for process safety.
  • Evaluate the importance of rigorous contractor screening.
  • Explain the role of pre-startup safety checks in preventing incidents.
  • Understand the concept of mechanical integrity and its implementation.
  • Describe the purpose and process of hot work permits.
  • Explain how to manage changes in processes to mitigate risks.
  • Discuss the importance of incident investigation in improving safety.
  • Explain how incident reports contribute to a strong safety culture.
  • Outline the essential components of an emergency response plan.
  • Understand the role of compliance audits in maintaining PSM effectiveness.
  • Explain the handling of confidential information and trade secrets within PSM.

OSHA Process Safety Management Training Course Syllabus

This OSHA Process Safety Management Training course consists of 6 lessons. Students are required to take each lesson in sequential order as listed below.

Course Content
Lessons

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


This lesson highlights the importance of creating comprehensive operating procedures as required by OSHA’s Process Safety Management standard. It covers essential elements, including operating phases, limits, and safety and health considerations. The lesson emphasizes the need for consistency with process safety information, and clear, accurate, and regularly reviewed procedures to ensure safe operations.

Lesson 5: Quality Assurance and Inspection


This lesson explains the critical role of meticulous inspection in chemical process facilities. It explores the importance of thorough contractor screening, pre-startup safety reviews, mechanical integrity programs, hot work permits, and management of change (MOC). By understanding these elements, facilities can significantly enhance safety and operational efficiency while working with contractors.

Lesson 6: Incident Investigation and Emergency Preparedness


This lesson breaks down the essential components of incident investigation, emergency planning, and compliance audits within the framework of Process Safety Management as per OSHA Standards. It explores the critical steps involved in incident investigation, including team composition, report generation, and corrective actions. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of comprehensive emergency action plans and the role of compliance audits in maintaining a safe operating environment.
