Process Safety Management Training & Certification

Our PSM training course is regulation aligned, and our online version fulfills classroom training requirements. Each course contains sections on identifying hazards from highly hazardous chemicals, communicating those hazards effectively,maintaining a safe process, and re-evaluating processes.

During this training, we will be taking a look at how to recognize, identify, and analyze hazards in a process. Next, you will learn how to communicate these hazards through written operating procedures. We will also teach you how and why contractors should be kept apprised of hazards and the importance of proper training for those involved in covered processes. You will also learn the importance of maintaining safety by performing pre-startup reviews. We will cover how to ensure the integrity of machinery used in covered processes and how to properly keep track of non-routine work so everyone in the workplace stays safe. Lastly, we’ll go over when to re-evaluate your process safety management program. You’ll learn how to properly manage change and prepare for an accidental release. Finally, we will teach you about incident investigation.

In line with regulations, anyone who works with or around highly hazardous chemicals must receive training prior to beginning work.

When it comes to refresher training, the standard is very specific: employees must receive refresher trainings at least every three years to ensure they understand and follow the most current operating procedures. Employers may require refresher trainings take place more frequently, depending on input they receive from the employees involved in the operating process. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that proves continued competency.
