Our process safety resources help companies get a strong grasp of process safety, identify key risks and evaluate where their controls need strengthening.

Major safety failures in process-industry settings often stem from weak systems or gaps in managing hazards, not just from individual mistakes. This program highlights the importance of differentiating between process safety and personal/occupational safety. 

By focusing on system integrity, barriers, and performance measurement, companies can reduce the risk of catastrophic events.

Who is this program for?

  • Safety leads and managers responsible for systems and process-hazard control

  • Operations supervisors, maintenance leads and engineers working with hazardous substances or major hazard equipment

  • Companies that need to develop or strengthen their process safety management program

PS Fundamentals

Process Safety Fundamentals

The International Oil and Gas Petroleum Association (IOGP) has put together Process Safety Fundamentals (PSF).

According to the IOGP these have been “developed to support companies as they seek to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, fatal and high severity process safety events. Designed to support those working in front-line operations, maintenance, and on wells teams, the PSF are informed by data and designed to draw attention to situations that are most likely to lead to process safety event fatalities."

More information on the PSFs can be found on the IOGP website.
