This course provides an overview of the elements of Process Safety Management (PSM) covered under the U.S. Occupational & Safety Administration (OSHA) PSM Standard, 29 CFR1910.119, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Risk Management Program (RMP) Rule, 40 CFR 68, SS 651, etc., which have been established to reduce chemical accidents and manage the release of highly hazardous flammable and toxic chemicals. This course will demonstrate how to interpret these ‘performance-based’ regulations and develop and implement a PSM program for a covered process required by the OSHA PSM regulation and the EPA RMP rule. Participants will be provided with information on how to ensure your PSM program is designed to meet regulatory requirements and implemented through an effective management system to improve business performance. This course will go beyond the regulatory requirements and cover concepts on developing a culture of safety, metrics for continual improvement, and principles of inherent safety. Industry “best practices” and “lessons learned” will be shared.
