NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Process Safety Management

16 October 2023 - 19 October 2023

Introduction

Effective process safety management (PSM) requires the right blend of engineering and management skills. It is of vital importance in major hazard industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, plastics and pharmaceuticals to prevent the catastrophic accidents and near misses associated with loss of containment of energy or dangerous substances.

Process risks that are effectively controlled also help to optimise business efficiency, reduce downtime and protect people and assets, as well as business reputation.

However, PSM isn't just the job of the process safety specialist. It's important that all managers, supervisors and safety professionals working in these industries possess an understanding of process safety to allow them to discharge their responsibilities effectively.

Developed jointly by NEBOSH and HSE, the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Process Safety Management is a four-day course followed by a formal assessment to give managers, supervisors and safety professionals working in high hazard industries a broad understanding of the accepted principles and recognised industrial practices for the management of process risk.

The knowledge gained from this qualification will allow them to recognise and contribute to the control of process safety hazards and make a real impact across their organisation.

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.
