Education

The course covers the US OSHA PSM 14 regulatory requirements as well as the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) 20 element approach to process safety.

You will gain a thorough understanding of the process safety regulations and need to put an effective process safety management (PSM) program and risk management plan-prevention program in place in your organization.

This online course offers an overview of Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) to mitigate risk in your processes.

This intensive 4-day course is also offered periodically throughout the year to the broader chemical engineering public. Taught jointly by process safety veterans with decades of experience at major companies from the process industries, the course is highly interactive.

Use historical data to accurately estimate the annual cost of these cold traps to justify their swift repair.
