Introduction
Delve into the world of Process Safety Management (PSM), where prevention takes centre stage in facilities managing hazardous materials. The modern industrial landscape demands more than just a response – it calls for foresight. PSM is the compass guiding facilities handling flammable and toxic materials to anticipate, assess, and mitigate risks before they unfold. It’s not just a protocol, but a commitment to safeguarding lives, the environment, and operations.
In this course, participants will learn the fundamentals of Process Safety Management, and the main standard frameworks for it.

- Boost your relevance in industries where the knowledge is prevalent.
Attendees will receive a competence certificate from Gexcon at the end of the course.
Benefits for organisations
The organisations will have in-house professional capability in areas mentioned in the "benefits for course participants", which will support in:
- Enhancing a strong safety culture within the organisation.
- Incorporating PSM best practices into the organisation’s operations based on the knowledge of industry best practices and the latest advancements in process safety acquired from the course.
- Helping the organisation minimise operational risks by identifying potential hazards and implementing control measures.
- Implementing effective PSM practices to reduce the likelihood of incidents and their associated downtime, repairs, and financial losses.
- Making informed decisions about safety measures, risk mitigation strategies, and emergency response protocols, leading to better outcomes.
Moreover, the organisation will provide an opportunity for employees to engage in professional development by attending the course, which could enhance employee morale.
