OSHA PSM Implementation and Responsible Care

The fourteen elements as a regulator reads them, and what an inspection tests

Covers the OSHA process safety management standard element by element, what compliance evidence each requires, and the citation patterns that reveal where sites most often fall short. Also covers the Responsible Care process safety code and how it extends beyond the regulatory minimum.

This course sits alongside our OSHA Process Safety Management consulting work, so what is taught is what we do.

Who should attend

PSM coordinators and compliance managers
HSE professionals at covered facilities
Engineers who own a PSM element
Internal auditors preparing for regulatory inspection
