RESPONSIBLE CARE® ADVANCED RISK-BASED PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT (RBPSM) TRAINING COURSE MODULE 2

This four-day training course focuses on advanced risk-based process safety management and how to develop, implement and maintain it within chemical manufacturing facilities. The training is aligned with the Responsible Care® Process Safety Code, which is a component of the Responsible Care® third-party verification audit. Signatories are expected to implement appropriate process safety management systems within their facilities to ensure that process hazards are identified, understood, and controlled, to prevent process-related injuries.
