Risk Based Process Safety Framework
All twenty elements, and where a management system actually fails
The CCPS Risk Based Process Safety framework organises process safety into twenty elements across four pillars. This course covers each element, what good looks like in practice, and how to run a gap assessment that produces a prioritised improvement plan rather than a scoring exercise.
This course sits alongside our Risk Based Process Safety consulting work, so what is taught is what we do.
