Prevent the incidents that make headlines.

In process industries, a single loss of containment can cause fire, explosion or toxic release on a catastrophic scale.

It is designed for managers, supervisors, safety representatives and advisers in sectors such as oil and gas, chemicals, plastics and pharmaceuticals.

Request course information

Process safety is different from everyday occupational safety. It is about preventing rare but devastating events by keeping hazardous substances contained, plant operating within safe limits and safeguards working when they are needed.

The course explains how process safety is led and managed, how process risk is assessed and controlled, the hazard controls used on process plant, and how fire protection and emergency response are organised. It draws on lessons from major incidents.

It is aimed at those who manage or work around process plant, rather than chemical engineers who design it.
