Auditing for Process Safety and Risk Management
Process safety audits are a useful tool to improve performance when done by experienced and knowledgeable leaders. An experienced auditor, or audit team, will use a systematic and structured approach to evaluating and improving management systems. Through these audits, organizations can identify, assess, and mitigate risks. They ensure compliance with safety standards, and continually improve safety performance while reducing the likelihood of accidents and incidents in their facilities.
This course covers the fundamental skills, techniques, and tools of auditing and how to most effectively perform your facility’s Process Safety Management (PSM) and Risk Management Program (RMP) audits, with techniques that can significantly improve your audits and your process safety management performance. Instructors will dive into the characteristics of a good process safety management system to provide auditors with a benchmark for audits.
