Process Safety Performance Indicators Workshop

Process safety focuses on the prevention of incidents involving leaks, spills, fires or explosions by making sure that facilities are well designed, safely operated and properly maintained. In particular, it involves ensuring that facilities are designed and engineered properly with systems in place to monitor and control hazards. Process safety may also be considered the result of a wide range of technical, management and operational systems working together to achieve the desired outcome. When the desired outcome is not achieved, a process safety incident occurs.

Major incidents continue to occur in the process industries, yet many investigations reveal shortcomings where effective management using process safety performance indicators (PSMI) and process safety management (PSM) audit programmes could have reduced the risk of such an occurrence. This course will help you understand how to improve the effectiveness of process safety performance indicators and process safety management audits. It examines the guidance published by the Health and Safety Executive and others to help create and implement an effective process safety performance programme.
