Why?
For leaders, managers, operators, designers, modificators, maintenance and support staff who are involved in the operations of a major hazard or process plant and need to adhere to the industry approved PSM standards.
The PSM standards are developed by the Process Safety Management Competence Programme Board (PSM CPB) and our PSM training standards are officially recognised by the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
HSE is keen to support the development and delivery of training and coaching for board members and managers in process safety. It is essential that the momentum on improving competence in process safety management is maintained throughout the sector in order to ensure those involved in managing major hazard risks gain and maintain the knowledge and skills essential to avoid a major accident. We have come a long way since the disastrous events of Buncefield but it would be wrong to think that the task of improving competence has been completed
