Industrialization across the globe has facilitated employment for millions and elevated living standards. Nevertheless, there has been a notable increase in process safety issues over the years, attributed to the unexpected release of toxic, reactive, flammable liquids and gases, and other hazardous energies. To tackle these challenges, many organizations are now relying on process safety management (PSM) professionals, systems, and procedures to enhance safety performance levels. Achieving successful PSM implementation and fostering individual competency necessitates a thorough understanding of Process Safety principles and systems.
In response to these needs, NEBOSH has collaborated with Great Britain’s Health and Safety Regulator, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), in crafting the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Process Safety Management. This qualification is designed to equip holders with the necessary knowledge and understanding of process safety management, enabling them to effectively contribute to the management of process safety risks
The NEBOSH Process Safety Management qualification is specifically tailored to provide delegates with a comprehensive blend of engineering and management skills aimed at preventing catastrophic accidents and near misses resulting from the uncontrolled release of energy or hazardous substances like chemicals and hydrocarbons. Additionally, the course covers an extensive range of subjects to ensure delegates acquire a broad understanding of accepted principles and recognized industrial practices for managing process risks.
Designed for high-hazard industries where process safety management is of critical importance, this course is particularly suitable for professionals employed in process industries, including oil and gas, chemicals, plastics, and pharmaceuticals.
This certification caters to individuals globally engaged in process industries like oil and gas, chemicals, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. It is particularly suitable for managers, safety representatives, and health and safety advisors operating within these process industries on a global scale.
Please note: This qualification is not intended for process safety/chemical engineers with extensive operational experience working within processing environments.
