A case study will be presented of how a Process Safety curriculum was developed and deployed at a North American Pipeline company. The curriculum included a face-to-face traditional instruction component as well as a computer-based component deployed in 2016. The curriculum was designed to give learners a basic understanding of the principles of process safety management and their application to the company. The face-to-face component of the curriculum employed adult learning theories that bridged individuals whose experiences ranged from new graduates to those with 30+ years. Interactive group exercises and case studies reinforced process safety fundamentals with particular attention paid to a struggle of differentiating between worker or personal safety compared to process safety.
