Major accidents such as fire, explosion and toxic release should be avoided to prevent fatalities, environmental pollution and assets’ damage. It is getting harder to control the operation safely with the increasing scale and complexity of modern chemical process industries. It has been reported that nearly all accidents could be prevented if the basic process safety (PS) principles are consulted and implemented. Process safety is to prevent and mitigate accidental loss of containment of hazardous materials. Layers of protections in processes provide barriers to prevent undesired impacts and thereby accomplishing safety objectives. Nonetheless, it is insufficient if it is only to incorporate these layers of protections to reduce the risks. It is also important to consider how these layers of protections and consequent chemical process safety can be managed. Process Safety Management (PSM) emphasizes the management of hazards through a comprehensive program which integrates technologies, procedures and management practices. PSM offers a systematic and structured approach to identification, prevention and mitigation of process risks to ensure safe operation.

The course provides details on PSM elements that are fundamental to

execute a safe industrial operation. The course covers topics on

learning from incidents, understanding and managing hazards,

regulations on PSM and safety management system elements which

include the planning and ways of implementation. The course will also

include process safety performance measurement, importance of

measure audit and review, and safety leadership to enhance PSM in

processing industries. Many practical examples from the industry will

be discussed through case studies.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able: Understand the importance of Process Safety

Management (PSM), its elements and the related regulatory requirements for PSM

Identify approaches to apply PSM elements that are

required in process industry and assess the performance of process safety using established techniques

Mr. Ahmad Kamal Mansor, is the BASF (M) SB Occupational

Safety & Environmental Protection Manager for Malaysia and

Singapore. His experiences in implementing the PSM was during

working at one of the established chemical plant within the Gebeng

Industrial Area, Kuantan Pahang (2012 – 2017) at which OSHA US PSM

(14 elements) is mandatory to setup and maintain. He was the

coordinator including the committee secretary to organize, implement and follow-up

the PSM system / issues in the company.

Prof. Dr. Azmi Shariff, is a lecturer in Chemical Engineering

Department, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. He is currently the

Director for Institute of Contaminant Management and member at

Centre of Advanced Process Safety (CAPS) and CO2 Research Centre

(CO2RES) in UTP. He also an Associate Member (Process Safety) at The

Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE UK), a member in Board of

Engineers (BOE) and a Chartered Marine Engineer at The Institute of Marine

Engineering, Science & Technology (ImarEST). In process safety, his research works are

in the area of Process Safety Management (PSM), Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA),

Inherent Safety, Electrical Safetyand Behavior Based Safety. He experienced in

conducting PSM, QRA and other professional course for companies in Malaysia.

Dr. Azizul Buang, is a lecturer at the Chemical Engineering

Department, UTP teaching process safety courses at undergraduate

and postgraduate levels. He has a strong interest in process &

occupational safety and wastewater treatment technology. He is

currently one of the training module developer for PSM L2 and CIMAH

Competent Person course customised for NIOSH Malaysia. He is also

an Associate Member of IChemE (Process Safety) and the program manager for MSc

Process Safety, UTP.

Ms. Najah Mohd Jamal, is the Staff Engineer, Process Safety

Risk and Head of PSM Section, Malaysia Refining Company Sdn Bhd,

Melaka. She drives the implementation of PSM, developed and aligned

internal Process Safety Leading and Lagging Performance Indicator

monitoring with API 754. This is the best way to monitor the health of

Process Safety in Refinery, which could provide focus on which

indicators (e.g Near miss) to improve. The format also complies with industry practices

and easier for future Industry benchmarking activities.
