NEBOSH have joined forces with Great Britain’s Health and Safety Regulator (the HSE) to develop the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Process Safety Management
The qualification is designed to equip delegates with a broad understanding of the accepted principles and recognised industrial practices for the management of process risk.
This qualification is designed to equip delegates with a broad understanding of the accepted principles and recognised industrial practices for the management of process risk. This will ensure that leaners can recognise and contribute to the control of process safety hazards. The course is for people from all around the world who work in process industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, plastics and pharmaceuticals.
It is recommended that learners should already have an underpinning knowledge of health and safety issues, and many will have gained another NEBOSH qualification already.
The qualification is:
❖ Relevant to process industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, plastics and pharmaceuticals.
❖ Ideal for managers, safety representatives and health and safety advisors working within the process industries, both inside and outside the UK.
This course takes place over a four day period, followed by a half day revision prior to the exam in the afternoon.
