OSHA Process Safety Management Training

OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) Training

Our OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) Training is designed according to OSHA General Industry Standard 29 CFR 1910.119, which governs the Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals. This comprehensive course focuses on preventing catastrophic industrial incidents by helping workers and organizations understand, apply, and maintain strong PSM programs in facilities that handle hazardous chemicals.

The training provides a deep dive into how hazardous chemical processes are managed, controlled, and continuously improved to reduce the likelihood of fires, explosions, chemical releases, or toxic exposures. Participants explore real-world industrial accident case studies to understand the severe environmental, human, and financial impacts of inadequate process safety systems.

Course Overview

Throughout this OSHA PSM training, learners will gain a solid understanding of the essential components of process safety management. The course covers:

• Hazard identification and recognition of highly hazardous chemicals (HHCs)
• Key elements of a compliant PSM program under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119
• Risk assessment and control strategies for chemical processing operations
• Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) methodologies, including HAZOP, What-If, FMEA, and more
• Development of written operating procedures and safe work practices
• Mechanical integrity programs for equipment, piping, vessels, and controls
• Management of change (MOC) processes to prevent unintended risk increases
• Training requirements for employees and contractors
• Contractor management responsibilities and oversight
• Emergency planning, preparedness, and response coordination
• Incident investigation protocols and root-cause analysis approaches
• Compliance auditing and continuous improvement of PSM systems

Why This OSHA PSM Training Is Important

Highly hazardous chemicals present unique and severe risks, and even minor failures can result in catastrophic outcomes. This course equips participants with the confidence and knowledge to implement robust PSM mechanisms that reduce risks, improve operational reliability, and ensure regulatory compliance.

By focusing on both regulatory requirements and real-world application, the training supports organizations in building a strong safety culture that promotes accountability, proactive hazard control, and sustained risk reduction.

Who Needs OSHA PSM Training?

OSHA PSM training is vital for workers involved in operations where hazardous chemicals are processed, stored, or transferred. This includes professionals who influence or participate in process design, operation, inspection, or emergency response.

• Process industry professionals working in chemical, oil & gas, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing sectors
• Safety, health, and environmental (SHE) specialists developing compliance and risk control programs
• Maintenance and engineering personnel responsible for equipment reliability and mechanical integrity
• Contractors and subcontractors performing work in PSM-covered facilities
• Supervisors and managers overseeing hazardous chemical operations
• New hires or employees transitioning into PSM-covered job roles
• Emergency response coordinators and incident investigation teams

Course Benefits

• Strengthens compliance with OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.119 PSM standard
• Teaches industry best practices for preventing large-scale chemical incidents
• Improves hazard recognition skills at all levels of the organization
• Supports safer process design, operation, and maintenance practices
• Helps reduce risk of fines, shutdowns, or compliance failures
• Provides a completion certificate for OSHA documentation and audits

Certificate of Completion

Upon completing the course, learners receive a digital certificate verifying their understanding of OSHA PSM requirements and compliance principles. This certificate supports regulatory documentation and enhances workplace safety credibility.
