Process Safety Management (HSE14)

    Description

    Activities at high hazard industries like oil & gas, refineries, and petrochemicals etc. are associated with high risk. Low probability high impact incidents make the industry to relook into their Health, Safety and Environmental management system’s efficacy and improve upon the areas where special attention is required. Based on the disasters that occur in these industries, it is recognised that Process Safety Management is vital to ensure safety of employees, community, environment and sustainability of the business.
