Process Safety Boot Camp is CCPS’ flagship course based on CCPS’ Risk Based Process Safety (RBPS) Management approach, featured in the CCPS book Guidelines for Risk Based Process Safety. The Boot Camp covers the fundamental concepts of process safety, why effective process safety management systems are needed, and why process safety is important as an operating principle, not just as a regulatory requirement. The four pillars and twenty elements that define the RBPS approach are examined, which address design, construction, operations, and maintenance of an industrial process. Participants from the chemical, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, foods, metals, mining and other industries will gain the knowledge to improve process safety management practices and build and operate more effective process safety management systems that will fit your company’s needs and resources.
Compliance is not enough. CCPS’ RBPS Approach exceeds regulatory requirements and focuses on the risk that is associated with each operation in order to, protect people, property, and the environment.
This highly interactive, fast-paced course is taught by two process safety experts, each with 25+ years’ experience. Lecture, videos, case studies, discussion, and breakout sessions are featured. An incident (or example) is included with most elements to emphasize the importance of that element and the potential consequences of lacking or inadequate definition or implementation. For selected elements, a workshop, exercise, or discussion follows for participants to analyze the concepts presented and participate in group discussions to facilitate information sharing, understanding, and application of the materials.
