by Ms. Deborah L. Grubbe, PE, CEng

20-22 July 2016 | Bangkok, Thailand

 

Overview

Process Safety Management is classically thought of an activity for the manufacturing, production or operations organization. However, many issues in PSM execution can be forever eradicated if they are eliminated in the facility design process. This course will focus on the details of how to address PSM during the design process, and will touch on the key execution steps. There will also be a focus on Inherently Safer Design, with a discussion of what it is and how to implement. 

 

Course Objectives

1. Determine if your process safety design efforts are complete 

2. Turn process safety implementation into a competitive advantage 

3. Improve your current facility design system 

4. Think differently about your process safety implementation 

5. Eliminate process safety issues early in your project cycles
