Process Safety Management Course – Advanced (4/3-4/7/2017)

I have been given permission to OPEN up a PSM Training course in April to other clients/members.  This is a 4.5 day training course and involves field-work, so you will need to bring your PPE (Safety Glasses, Safety Boots, Hard-Hat, and FRC if you have it).  The course will be taught with a focus on Category 1 FLAMMABLE HHC, but this is such a detailed course we learn principles and RAGAGEPS that cover many of the more popular toxics.  This is NOT an introductory course, this course is designed for professionals who develop, implement, measure, and manage process safety management systems.  Here is the agenda and other details:

What:  Advanced PSM Training

Where:  Honda – Marysville, OH
