Process Safety Management (PSM) is essential for preventing major incidents at classified facilities, particularly those subject to the Seveso Directive. Process safety management is based on a comprehensive approach that incorporates the prevention of explosive atmospheres, process risk control, and compliance with the regulatory framework.
This introductory training covers the fundamentals of PSM, its 14 key elements, the differences between PSM and occupational safety, as well as best practices in governance and safety culture. It is intended for executives, HSE managers, and operational teams seeking to establish a structured process safety risk management approach.
