Course Overview
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, 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 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. There will be discussion on the latest changes being proposed, and their status in the rule making process, to better equip you for upcoming changes. This course will go beyond the regulatory compliance 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.
