NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Process Safety Management

12 September 2022 - 15 September 2022

Introduction

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and NEBOSH have collaborated to develop a new specialist Occupational Safety and Health Qualification specifically for process industries. The qualification combines the advanced technical 'high hazard' expertise of HSE with NEBOSH's ability to deliver strong vocational OSH qualifications.

The course focuses on the prevention of catastrophic accidents and near misses associated with loss of containment of energy or dangerous substances such as chemicals and hydrocarbons.

The course will cover:

• Establishment of process management systems
• Asset management and maintenance strategies
• Start-up and shutdown of process plant
• Performance standards for safety critical systems and equipment
• Hazards and controls for:
  • Chemical reactions
  • Bulk storage of dangerous substances
  • Fire and explosion
• Purpose and features of emergency plans

The tutors have a wide range of process safety experience gained through HSE's activities in the onshore chemicals and offshore oil & gas industries.

Candidates are assessed by a 90 minute multiple choice examination which must be accessed and completed via NEBOSH's Online Assessment Platform within a 24-hour window. The date is set by NEBOSH and will be within 4 weeks of you attending the course.

Learning Outcomes:

The NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Process Safety Management is designed to provide a sound breadth of knowledge that will allow you to contribute to the effective management of process safety risks.

The qualification aims to provide holders with the knowledge and understanding of Process Safety Management to ensure that they can contribute to the effective management of process safety risks.

Who should attend?

People from all around the world who work in process industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, plastics and pharmaceuticals. Given the hazardous nature of these industries, this qualifications has been designed to give process safety knowledge and understanding to managers, supervisors and safety professionals to allow them to manage their process safety responsibilities.

This qualification is not designed for process safety/chemical engineers with extensive operational experience of working within the processing environment.

It is advised that students should already have an underpinning knowledge of health and safety issues, and many will have gained another NEBOSH qualification.
