Process Safety Management Training & Certification
Hard Hat Training courses meet all training requirements set by OSHA.
We Offer Three Types of Process Safety Management Trainings
Our regulation-aligned Process Safety Management certification courses are updated to reflect the most recent changes made to safety standards. Whether you want a certification in as little as two hours, or a more robust training, we can help! We offer online trainings that can be completed in a day, DIY training kits that provide training materials, Train the Trainer certifications that certify individuals to train others and provide training materials, or onsite training. No matter what you choose, we can get you what you want, at a price you can afford.
Online training is for those who prefer self-paced training from any location and/or for employers who need to assign and monitor employee training progress and exam scores.
The training kit is for those who want the freedom of doing the training themselves. It is a PowerPoint Presentation (PPT) that you can present yourself to a group of trainees.
Train the Trainer courses are online and meant to certify an individual to use the training kit to train others. Training kit and materials are included with the Train the Trainer online course for no additional cost.
What’s in the Process Safety Management Training Course?
Our PSM training course is regulation aligned, and our online version fulfills classroom training requirements. Each course contains sections on identifying hazards from highly hazardous chemicals, communicating those hazards effectively,maintaining a safe process, and re-evaluating processes.
During this training, we will be taking a look at how to recognize, identify, and analyze hazards in a process. Next, you will learn how to communicate these hazards through written operating procedures. We will also teach you how and why contractors should be kept apprised of hazards and the importance of proper training for those involved in covered processes. You will also learn the importance of maintaining safety by performing pre-startup reviews. We will cover how to ensure the integrity of machinery used in covered processes and how to properly keep track of non-routine work so everyone in the workplace stays safe. Lastly, we’ll go over when to re-evaluate your process safety management program. You’ll learn how to properly manage change and prepare for an accidental release. Finally, we will teach you about incident investigation.
This presentation includes intermittent practice quiz questions to prepare for the final written exam included with the course. In addition to the written exam, this course also includes a checklist for employers to use when administering a practical evaluation as required.
Though you will still need to familiarize yourself with all other applicable federal, state, and local standards, this training encompasses the following laws and regulations:

Train the Trainer Certification

It incorporates the online course with an additional train the trainer module, as well as the training kit.

Why Do I Need Process Safety Management Safety Training?
In line with regulations, anyone who works with or around highly hazardous chemicals must receive training prior to beginning work.
When it comes to refresher training, the standard is very specific: employees must receive refresher trainings at least every three years to ensure they understand and follow the most current operating procedures. Employers may require refresher trainings take place more frequently, depending on input they receive from the employees involved in the operating process. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that proves continued competency.
