Onsite Training Courses
Relief Systems Design Training Course
This comprehensive course provides hands-on instruction in the design and evaluation of pressure relief and flare systems. Participants will explore overpressure scenario identification, relief valve sizing, and flare system considerations using industry standards such as API 520/521/2000 and ASME BPVC Section VIII and I.
Ideal for engineers and safety professionals responsible for pressure relief compliance, this course includes case studies, calculation workshops, and documentation best practices to ensure compliance with both OSHA PSM and corporate standards.
PHA Leadership Training Course
Designed for engineers and safety professionals preparing to lead Process Hazard Analyses (PHAs), this 3.5-day instructor-led course teaches technical and facilitation skills necessary for effective HAZOP and What-If studies. Participants engage in scenario-based workshops, team exercises, and live instruction aligned with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 and CCPS guidelines.
This course is best suited for individuals transitioning into facilitator roles or seeking to refine their leadership approach to risk reviews.
PSM for Engineers
This technical course explores the engineering responsibilities under the Process Safety Management Standard. Participants will examine hazard identification techniques, risk assessment methods, and engineering control strategies that drive safe, compliant operations.
Key topics include the role of process engineers in managing the 14 PSM elements, interpreting PSI (Process Safety Information), and designing systems that align with both safety and production objectives.
PSM for Managers
Tailored for plant managers, operations leaders, and EHS directors, this course provides an actionable understanding of how to lead and sustain PSM programs. Emphasis is placed on the 14 PSM elements, policy development, resource allocation, and fostering a safety-first culture.
Managers will leave with a strategic framework for overseeing compliance, minimizing risk, and promoting accountability throughout their organizations.
PSM Essentials
Ideal for technicians, entry-level engineers, and support staff, this course introduces the core principles and structure of PSM. Using real-world examples and simplified language, the course covers hazard awareness, the 14 elements, and how individual roles contribute to overall facility safety and compliance.
This is a foundational course designed to build awareness and prepare participants for more advanced PSM responsibilities.
