About this course
Process Safety Management gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of process safety fundamentals and major accident hazards and the 14 elements of PSM, then builds the skills to apply management of change and pre-startup reviews, mechanical integrity and safe operating limits and process safety performance indicators in real work. Technical oil and gas training covering upstream, midstream and downstream operations, integrity and production for engineers and operators. One of our most requested courses.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
Who should attend
Engineers, operators, supervisors and technical staff in upstream, midstream, refining and petrochemical operations. No specialist prerequisites are required for the Practitioner level; Foundation, Advanced and Executive versions are available on request.
