Background to PSM

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Process Safety Management (PSM) program, encapsulated in the regulatory code of 29 CFR 1910.119, is a cornerstone of regulations aimed at the safe management of highly hazardous chemicals. This pivotal OSHA initiative was developed to prevent severe incidents, including fires, explosions, and toxic chemical releases, which could arise from improper handling of dangerous substances. The program breaks-out a comprehensive set of 14 essential elements that cover a range of critical areas including employee participation, process safety information, operational procedures, management of change, and emergency preparedness. Adherence to 29 CFR 1910.119 is not merely a regulatory mandate but a fundamental commitment to preserving the health and safety of workers, the environment, and the wider community.

Beginning with a foundational overview of the program’s requirements, the course progresses through training on building essential process safety knowledge, managing safety information, planning actions, conducting compliance audits, leading Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOPS), and demonstrating the effectiveness and compliance of your process safety management efforts.
