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. This OSHA PSM training takes a comprehensive approach to preventing catastrophic incidents. It covers the critical elements of process safety management (PSM) to help facilities build and maintain robust safety programs. According to the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB), the majority of disastrous chemical incidents in the United States are preventable through proper PSM implementation.
Historical case studies help learners understand the real consequences of process safety failures. The course covers the core components of a PSM system, including hazard identification, risk assessment, and control measures. Participants will learn to develop effective operating procedures and process hazard analysis (PHA) techniques. It also covers contractor management strategies and mechanical integrity programs. The OSHA Process Safety Management Training course also addresses emergency preparedness, incident investigation, and compliance auditing.

OSHA Process Safety Management Training Course Syllabus
This OSHA Process Safety Management Training consists of 6 lessons. Students are required to take each lesson in sequential order as listed below.
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. It also covers the core components of a comprehensive PSM program.
Lesson 2: Process Safety Information
This lesson introduces the concept of process safety information (PSI) and its vital role in ensuring process safety. PSI serves as a detailed blueprint of a chemical process. It outlines potential hazards and provides essential information for managing risks. The lesson covers the key components of PSI, identifies its stakeholders, and explains the significance of chemical information in safeguarding facility operations.
Lesson 3: Process Hazard Analysis
This lesson covers the critical importance of process hazard analysis (PHA) in preventing catastrophic incidents. It explores how PHA systematically identifies, assesses, and controls potential hazards. PHA methodologies covered include What-If Analysis, Checklist Analysis, and Hazard and Operability Study. The lesson also examines Failure Mode and Effect Analysis and Fault Tree Analysis to provide a framework for minimizing risk.
Lesson 4: Operating Procedures
This lesson covers the importance of creating comprehensive operating procedures as required by OSHA’s Process Safety Management standard. It addresses operating phases, limits, and safety and health considerations. Procedures must be consistent with process safety information. They must also be clear, accurate, and regularly reviewed to ensure safe operations.
Lesson 5: Quality Assurance and Inspection
This lesson explains the critical role of inspection in chemical process facilities. It covers contractor screening, pre-startup safety reviews, and mechanical integrity programs. Hot work permits and management of change (MOC) are also addressed. Understanding these elements helps facilities improve safety and operational efficiency when working with contractors.
Lesson 6: Incident Investigation and Emergency Preparedness
This lesson covers incident investigation, emergency planning, and compliance audits within the framework of the OSHA Process Safety Management standard. It explains the critical steps in incident investigation, including team composition, report generation, and corrective actions. The lesson also addresses comprehensive emergency action plans. It examines the role of compliance audits in maintaining a safe operating environment.
