Process Safety Management Training

The purpose of this training module is to provide a working knowledge of OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM) standard to small business owners and their employees, as well as to other interested parties. The module consists of an instructional video with its accompanying PowerPoint lecture, and a checklist for conducting a PSM audit. The training addresses the nature of the PSM hazards as they relate to small business workplaces and reviews the key compliance elements of the standard, including: Block Diagrams, Process & Instrumentation Drawings, Mechanical Integrity Certificates, Process Hazard Analysis, Inspection, Maintenance and Testing Protocols, Management of Change, and Training for Employees and Contractors. Although initially developed with the needs of Georgia companies in mind, this PSM training module will also serve as an important resource accessible to small businesses, safety professionals, and consultants administering, reviewing, auditing or initiating PSM programs across the country. The training materials are available via www.oshainfo.gatech.edu and DVD, as well as being posted to YouTube on the channel OSHAInfoGaTech.
