Process safety management
Process Safety Management is fundamentally important in plant and refinery operations. There have been very many high profile incidents, resulting in fatalities and significant financial losses, which have resulted directly from poor Process Safety Management practices.
Course overview:
This course will familiarise key staff with the various aspects of process safety. Delegates will understand the differences between process and personal safety.
