Process safety incidents have occurred when management ignored procedures in order to get on with the job, or to control costs. In 2022 alone, OSHA issued 430 citations for failing to comply with regulations to oil refineries, chemical plants, water and sewage treatment operations, and other facilities that use hazardous chemicals. Is it due to ignorance or a lack of awareness? Or is it due to negligence or carelessness?

When effectively executed, process safety helps ensure dependable processes that can produce high-quality products, on time, and at a lower cost. Such safety enhancements enable the companies that adopt them to maintain value creation over the long term. Without properly planned and implemented process safety management (PSM) programs, the risk of a crisis is high.

Join us on Thursday, September 4, 2025, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm CST, for this live instructor-led course that empowers learners with the knowledge needed to develop or improve PSM programs. All 14 process safety elements of the OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.119 for Process Safety Management (PSM) will be examined individually and include best practices. Each element will work in tandem with the others to build an effective PSM system. The benefits of applying the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) 20-element approach to Risk-Based Process Safety (RBPS) will also be explained. Case studies, lessons learned, and practical examples are incorporated throughout the course to demonstrate principles and enrich learning.

Taught by Pamela Nelson, CCPSC, she is a Certified Process Safety Professional with more than 30 years of chemical process industry experience, and over 25 years of experience in process safety and health, and safety and environment (HSE) management. Ms. Nelson is a recognized expert who has implemented compliance and process management initiatives for facilities across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Thailand, China, and the U.K. Her paper, Denials Delusions and Bias, published in Process Safety Progress, illustrates the concept of human bias and how it can affect the ability to adequately assess risk at a facility.
