SAChE® – Risk Based Process Safety - Manage Risk: Training and Procedures

Chemical processes are prevalent in colleges, universities, research and design as well as industry. These process are instrumental to learning, and advancing our way of life. At the same time these processes present hazards that may result in serious injury or loss of life. Operating Procedures and Training are Risk Based Process Safety Elements are used as measures to prevent hazardous events from occurring and/or mitigate the impact of these events.
