Who should attend?What is it?

Process Safety Awareness has been developed to provide anyone involved in a role which does not have direct line responsibility for Process Safety with a basic understanding of the principles of Process Safety and how this fits with, but is different to Occupational Safety.

It will allow participants to prepare and to learn how to operate safely within the industry that they work and understand the important role they will play in preventing incidents from occurring. As well as the basic principles and awareness of Process Safety, this course will cover the implications if an accident was to occur on site, using real examples and workshop activity.

It will cover the basics of the industry standards set by the Process Safety Management Competence Programme Board PSMCPB* for which Cogent Skills is the delivery partner.
