PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT COURSES

EST 7010P: Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous and Explosive Chemicals

Many small and large businesses currently do not have the knowledge base necessary to create and implement an effective Process Safety Management (PSM) program. Unfortunately, this could lead to PSM-related accidents. In this course, you will gain an understanding of PSM and its history, who is covered by such a program, the PSM team process, the elements of a properly designed program, how to begin the process, and the basics of how PSM and the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Risk Management Plans (RMP) work together. This course is a team-based case study course where learners gain insights from real life cases.

 

EST 7126P: Process Safety Management - Process Hazard Analysis

Many small and large businesses are required to comply with OSHA’s Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous and Explosive Chemicals. Unfortunately, they often do not have the necessary knowledge and experience to perform the most difficult part of the standard, which is the Process Hazard Analysis (PHA). In this course, you will learn how to perform a PHA, methodology, the planning and facilitation of a PHA, and more. This course is a team-based case study course where learners gain insights from real-life cases.

 

EST 7128P: Process Safety Management - Mechanical Integrity

Many employers who are required to comply with OSHA’s 1910.119 Process Safety Management (PSM) standard are not fully aware of what Mechanical Integrity (MI) really means within the practice of process safety. It’s much more involved than simply not collecting specifications on equipment in your covered process. In this course, you will learn the ins and outs of MI.

 

EST 7129P: Advanced Process Safety Management - PSM II

Many employers who are required to comply with OSHA’s 1910.119 Process Safety Management standard have received basic training in OSHA’s Process Safety Management Standard, but are not fully aware of the advanced methods of process safety utilized throughout the world in the proper management of chemical process hazards. Advanced Process Safety Management (PSM II) provides learners with those advanced methods in a case study driven, interactive environment.

 

EST 7130P: Process Safety Management – PSM Auditing

Many employers who are required to comply with OSHA’s 1910.119 Process Safety Management (PSM) standard have received basic training in OSHA’s Process Safety Management Standard. This course will take your knowledge to the next level. It provides an in-depth understanding of audit principles and methods that are key in ensuring an effective audit. You will learn about audit methodology, which includes documentation, pre-production, review, interview methods, field verification, and audit closeout meetings. Learners will discover how to properly plan, execute, and document a process safety management audit utilizing OSHA National Emphasis Program (NEP) methodology and key principles of the Center for Chemical Process Safety. The course utilizes an interactive, case-study-driven method with multiple in-class exercises based on our unique, real-life chemical process case study.

 

EST 7131: Process Safety Management Executive Level Overview

This course is for executives, engineers and legal counsel to learn and understand scope, schedule and budget for managing an effective process safety program. Learn basic understanding of the executive’s responsibilities in managing a process safety program and the 14 elements of an effective and compliant process safety program in your company.

 

OSHA 7225: Transitioning to Safer Chemicals

Assist your team in creating a safer workplace through our course, Transitioning to Safer Chemicals. You’ll learn OSHA’s seven-step substitution planning process so you can evaluate chemical use, study possible alternatives, and pursue safer alternatives. Plus you’ll gain knowledge about databases, as well as other tools and methods to help you make the transition so that your workers are protected from chemical hazards.

 

EST 7135P: API RP 1173-Process Safety for Pipeline Safety Management Systems

API RP 1173 Pipeline Safety Management Systems is a recommended practice (RP), released by the American Petroleum Institute, to establish a pipeline safety management systems (PSMS) framework for organizations that operate hazardous liquids and gas pipelines jurisdictional to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). This RP provides pipeline operators with safety management system requirements that when applied provide a framework to reveal and manage risk, promote a learning environment, and continuously improve pipeline safety and integrity. You will be able to understand process safety, its application to the pipeline industry, the team process to develop and implement process safety, the elements of a properly designed API RP 1173 program, and how to implement and manage an ongoing program.
