Process Safety For Frontline Managers & Leaders
Course Info
Course Summary
There must be a strong focus on employee health and safety within any industry. 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 function 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 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 fully understand the local rules and regulations surrounding health and safety to guarantee the organisation is complying with standards.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the importance of Process Safety Management (PSM).
- Assess the elements of PSM and its regulatory requirements.
- Conduct risk assessments and create risk management plans.
- Accurately analyse risks and their potential implications.
- Implement a PSM system.
- Evaluate emergency plans and practices.
