About the Course
Organizations invest in process safety management because they must prove control over major accident hazards, not simply declare it. That means you need to demonstrate hazard identification, risk ranking, barrier verification, management of change discipline, and incident learning in a way that stands up to leadership review, internal audit, and operational scrutiny. A mature program typically draws on CCPS Risk Based Process Safety, the IChemE Safety Centre model, bowtie analysis, and layer of protection analysis to connect technical risk to daily operating decisions. This course is built for people who must show evidence of process safety control across live assets, maintenance shutdowns, contractor interfaces, and late-stage operational changes.
This process safety management training turns scattered knowledge into a structured system you can apply in plant operations. You will build practical capability in bowtie diagrams, hazard and operability study support, process hazard analysis preparation, management of change screening, barrier health checks, incident investigation logic, audit checklists, and process safety KPI tracking. You will practice these tools hands-on through facility-style scenarios, while only being introduced at overview level to broader governance topics such as enterprise risk integration and digital twin-enabled monitoring. This course teaches you how to identify major accident hazards, assess critical controls, and translate findings into a defensible action plan so you can improve control of process risk, strengthen barrier integrity, and communicate progress clearly to decision-makers.
Delivery realism matters in this field because many teams face ageing assets, budget pressure, contractor dependence, and uneven data quality across maintenance and operations systems. The course is therefore designed for professionals who need to deliver practical improvement inside real constraints, where the priority is not theoretical completeness but usable process safety management outputs that can be implemented, tracked, and audited.
Target Audience
This advanced process safety management course is designed for professionals who need to control major accident hazards, strengthen barriers, and support audit-ready process safety governance in high-hazard operations.
- Process Safety Engineers responsible for barrier integrity and hazard control assurance
- Plant Managers overseeing operating discipline and major accident risk
- Operations Supervisors managing safe work practices and shift-level control execution
- Process Safety Managers building process safety management systems and KPI reporting
- HSE Managers aligning process safety controls with governance and audit requirements
- Reliability Engineers tracking asset integrity, inspection findings, and safeguard performance
- Maintenance Planners coordinating shutdown work, permits, and management of change
- Incident Investigators analysing root causes and barrier failure pathways
- Risk Analysts supporting bowtie models and process hazard analysis reviews
- Operations Directors reporting process safety performance to executive leadership
Course Objectives
This course equips you to plan, execute, and measure process safety management initiatives that reduce major accident risk, strengthen compliance, and improve leadership oversight.
- Assess current process safety performance using CCPS Risk Based Process Safety and IChemE Safety Centre criteria.
- Apply bowtie analysis to map major accident hazards, initiating events, and critical barriers.
- Design a process safety risk register with barrier ownership, verification frequency, and escalation triggers.
- Build a management of change workflow that screens technical, operational, and organizational changes.
- Evaluate barrier assurance, action tracking, and audit evidence against process safety management expectations.
- Navigate contractor controls, permit-to-work interfaces, and emergency response requirements in high-hazard facilities.
- Implement process safety KPIs and leading indicators using digital dashboards and maintenance data.
- Synthesize audit results, incident lessons, and KPI trends into executive process safety reporting.
Requirements & Prerequisites
Participants should have working experience in operations, maintenance, engineering, HSE, integrity, or production leadership within a high-hazard environment. Prior exposure to process hazard analysis, management of change, incident investigation, or barrier management is helpful, but not mandatory. No coding is required. The advanced content is delivered at operational and applied implementation level, with conceptual coverage only for enterprise-scale analytics or digital twin applications. A laptop is recommended for workshop exercises, and you should be prepared to work with case-based plant data, barrier registers, and audit templates.
