S. Coulson.

Implementation of Process Safety Management (PSM) is a complex task that requires planning, coordination, and considerable resources. PSM is typically a risk-based management process with higher risk processing units receiving higher priority. PSM will be broken down into smaller, manageable pieces that can be developed and implemented in a logical sequence. Industry standard structure, covering the various aspects that define PSM, will be followed.

Outcome 1: Students will be able to describe Process Safety Culture.

Outcome 2: Students will be able to review and define process safety competencies required to implement PSM.

Outcome 3: Students will be able to apply relevant codes and standards.

Outcome 4: Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of safety through design.

Outcome 5: Students will be able to develop format for pre-startup safety review.
