Process Safety and Major Accident Hazard Awareness
Learn how major accidents happen, and how barriers and safeguards stop them.
Start Course Now →Process safety is about preventing the low-frequency, high-consequence events that personal safety measures alone cannot catch. This beginner course gives you a clear, practical grounding in major accident hazards, loss of containment, and the barriers, procedures and management systems that keep energy and industrial operations safe. It is for anyone working in or around these environments who wants to understand how serious incidents are prevented.
Walk out able to actually help.
You can tell personal safety apart from process safety and explain why both matter.
You can identify major accident hazards such as fires, explosions and toxic releases.
You know how barriers, safeguards and procedures work together to prevent loss of containment.
You can point to the core elements of process safety management and where your responsibilities sit.
Built around the moment it matters.
