Discusses the major components that contribute to an effective process safety management program by providing safety managers methods to measure performance, facilitate metrics, integrate various roles of an organization into a process safety program, meet regulatory requirements, and establish and maintain a safety culture. Students will describe the key principles of OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) Standard; describe the purpose of process safety metrics and classify metrics by using the process safety pyramid; develop metrics to measure the effectiveness of PSM program implementation; use strategies to convert documented metrics into actions that resolve incidents within an organization; demonstrate analytical and decision-making skills in simulated critical incident situations; prepare a post incident analysis for a simulated critical incident.
