Course Summary
Within any industry, there must be a strong focus on the health and safety of employees. This is especially true for organisations that handle dangerous substances or are involved in more risk-prone affairs such as construction.
Process Safety Management (PSM) is the process of identifying risks and hazards within a workplace, creating detailed audits and assessments of said risks, and taking the necessary steps to prevent incidents from occurring. PSM requires an in-depth analysis of each of the functions within the organisation, and each hazard that may possibly happen. The consequences of each risk must be fully assessed to evaluate how it would impact business productivity.
Frontline managers and leaders are the main roles that would be responsible for ensuring process safety. They must be highly competent in analysis and utilising the tools and equipment to do so. They will also need to have a full understanding of the local rules and regulations surrounding health and safety to guarantee the organisation is complying with standards.
