CCPS’ Foundations of Process Safety was developed especially for companies looking to train their staff in the fundamental concepts of Process Safety. It is widely used by corporate training departments across different sectors of industry. Companies large, small and in-between use CCPS’ Process Safety Boot Camp to ramp-up staff knowledge to a common level quickly and easily.
This intensive 4-day course is taught by two seasoned instructors, each with a minimum of 25 years of experience in process safety. The agenda covers key process safety areas including Risk Based Process Safety, Process Hazard Analysis, Regulatory Compliance and Process Safety in Plant and Design Operations.
Who Should Attend:
Technical staff in the process industries, pipeline industries, utility companies, and engineering service companies who need to move beyond an understanding of personal safety and learn the basics of Process Safety and Process Safety Management, including:
- Chemical Engineers
- Process Design Engineers
- Manufacturing Engineers
- Chemists
- Mechanical and Reliability Engineers
- Instrumentation/Automation Engineers
- Shift Supervisors
- Lead Operators
- EHS Specialists
- Managers who wish to gain a more comprehensive understanding of best risk based management system practices
