TRAINING FEATURE


GAIN A NEW QUALIFICATION IN PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT


T


he Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and NEBOSH have jointly


developed a new Occupational Safety and Health Qualification specifically for process industries. A five-day training course that


leads to the new NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Process Safety Management will be held at HSE's laboratory near Buxton, Derbyshire from Monday 1 to Friday 5 April 2019. The course 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. It is lead by tutors who have a wide range of process safety


experience gained through HSE's activities in the onshore chemicals and offshore oil & gas industries. 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 ensure that they can contribute to the effective management of process safety risks. Candidates are assessed by a 90 minute multiple choice examination.


Those who successfully achieve certification will gain not only a sound breadth of process safety knowledge but also a recognised qualification that can enhance their career prospects.

New e-learning on mechanical integrity


EEMUA has expanded its ‘for the industry, by the industry’ e-learning offering with the launch of a new course aimed at helping organisations maintain the mechanical integrity of plant containing hazardous substances by using periodic examination and testing. Based on key elements of EEMUA 231, the online training covers


activities such as: good practice, including preparation of a Written Scheme of Examination (WSE); decision making on the type and frequency of inspections; making organisational arrangements for successful inspections; responding to inspection findings; record keeping; and planning for continuous improvement. Any organisation that has hazardous installations, together


with interested stakeholders who use such plant, including operators, inspection bodies (including 'Competent Persons') and providers of specialist services to the process industries, should find this e-learning course of interest. This interactive course is positioned at the awareness/introductory


level and should take no more than 60 minutes to complete. Professionals can access the e-learning through the EEMUA e-shop and take the online test to achieve awareness-level certification. The module content is also relevant to users who draw on other


EEMUA guides such as: EEMUA 232, ‘‘Specifying, procuring and managing third party inspection services’; EEMUA 159, ‘Above ground flat bottomed storage tanks - a guide to inspection, maintenance and repair’; and EEMUA 183, ‘Prevention of tank bottom leakage’.
