This 45-minute self-paced online module provides an overview of operating procedures in the context of process safety management (PSM).
This is Module 7 of 15 from the EI's Process Safety Management full training course, designed to provide an introduction to PSM and illustrate how the PSM Framework can be applied to identify address the hazards that are involved in the most industries and provide assurance that risk is being managed to a tolerable level. Each module can be purchased individually, but individuals will benefit most from the full course covering all 20 elements.
Based on content from the EI’s renowned High level framework for process safety management guidance ('PSM framework'), a comprehensive process safety management framework which captures industry good practice in PSM, and taught by a leading expert in process safety and former deputy director of the UK Health & Safety Executive, using recorded presentations and exercises.
