Process Safety Management – Global
Process safety management was created in response to increasing reports of incidents involving the unexpected release of toxic, reactive, or flammable chemicals from processes. The purpose of process safety management, or PSM, is to proactively identify, evaluate, and mitigate or prevent highly hazardous chemical (HHC) releases that could occur because of catastrophic failures in processes, procedures, or equipment. “Process” refers to any use, storage, manufacturing, handling, or on-site movement of HHCs. HHCs are chemicals that, due to their physical or toxic hazard properties, present a high degree of risk of injury should they be released in an uncontrolled fashion and quantity. This interactive online course is designed to raise awareness about OSHA’s Process Safety Management regulations for highly hazardous chemicals in the workplace.
