NEBOSH has the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to develop a new process safety management qualification specifically for process industries. Process safety management is a blend of engineering and management skills. It focuses on the prevention of catastrophic accidents and near misses associated with loss of containment of energy or dangerous substances such as chemicals and hydrocarbons.

People from all around the world who work in process industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, plastics and pharmaceuticals. Given the hazardous nature of these industries, this qualification has been designed to give process safety knowledge and understanding to managers, supervisors and safety professionals to allow them to manage their process safety responsibilities.

This qualification is not designed for process safety/chemical engineers with extensive operational experience of working within the processing environment.

It is advised that students should already have an underpinning knowledge of health and safety issues, and many will have gained another.

The course is delivered by classroom mode of training based on NEBOSH approved presentation and training manual by a NEBOSH approved tutor.

The course is delivered over 4 days with an assessment on the 5th day at the respective British Council.
