Process Safety Engineering Principles - PSE - eLearning series

The online Process Safety Engineering Principles Blended Program provides an overview of process safety engineering fundamentals for hydrocarbon processing facilities. The focus of this course is on the engineering/design aspects of Process Safety Management. Frequent reference is made to historical incidents and recurring problem areas. Techniques for analyzing and mitigating process safety hazards applicable to oil and gas processing will also be reviewed. This program integrates the concepts covered to achieve a measured approach to Process Safety Engineering.

Duration: Approximately 40 hours of self-paced, online work.

Target Audience

Anyone who has to deal with concepts of process safety engineering, including facilities engineers, process engineers, design engineers, new safety/loss engineers, project engineers, operations supervisors, maintenance supervisors, and representatives from insurance companies or regulatory agencies.
