Course Overview

It is very important for personnel to understand their role in the management of process safety for their facility, what the regulations require and why this is important. Our Introduction to Process Safety E-Learning course is designed to provide this essential knowledge.
This course will help participants answer key questions, including:
- What is process safety and why is it important at our facility?
