Project 239: Guidelines for Process Safety Knowledge and Expertise

The purpose of this Guideline is to create the framework of process safety knowledge and expertise versus the desired competency level in a “super-matrix” format to identify minimum requirements for competency by position.  Target audience, ranges from front line chemical operators, mechanics and instrument technicians through senior management, including financial and business executives for all process industries and large to small companies / facilities.  Use of this process would identify gaps between existing and desired competency levels and suggest potential remedies.
