Process Safety Management (PSM) is a systematic approach to identify, evaluate, and control risks associated with highly hazardous chemical processes—reducing the potential for fires, explosions, and toxic releases. The course is built around international standards including OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 and CCPS guidelines.
Typical sectors: oil & gas refineries, petrochemicals, manufacturing, power & utilities, and chemical storage/distribution facilities.
Regulatory foundations: OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119, CCPS guidance, and compliance needs.
Process Hazard Analysis (PHA): HAZOP, FMEA, and What-If analysis.
Operating procedures & safe work: permits to work, isolation/LOTO, and SOPs.
Mechanical integrity: inspection, testing, and preventive maintenance for critical assets.
Management of Change (MOC): risk reviews during modifications, documentation control.
Incident investigation: root-cause analysis, corrective and preventive actions.
Emergency planning & response: drills, coordination, and readiness.
Compliance audits & improvement: performance monitoring and continual improvement.
HSE Managers and Safety Engineers
Process & Chemical Engineers; Plant Supervisors and Maintenance Managers
Quality/Risk Management professionals; Safety Auditors and Consultants

Recognized certification across Qatar and the GCC; strong learner support.
Qatar's economy is built substantially on oil, gas, and petrochemical production, industries where a single process safety failure can result in catastrophic loss of life, environmental damage, and significant financial cost.
Regulators and major operators across the region increasingly expect engineers, supervisors, and safety professionals to demonstrate structured competence in process safety management, not just general workplace safety. This course gives professionals a practical, standards-based framework — grounded in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 and CCPS guidance — for identifying and controlling the specific hazards found in high-risk chemical and industrial processes.
General health and safety training typically covers workplace hazards common across most industries, such as slips, manual handling, and basic fire safety.
Process Safety Management goes further, focusing specifically on the technical and systemic risks found in high-hazard chemical processes, including mechanical integrity, management of change, and process hazard analysis techniques like HAZOP and FMEA. Professionals already holding general HSE qualifications such as NEBOSH IGC often pursue PSM training to specialize further for roles in oil, gas, and petrochemical operations.
Completing this certification supports career progression into roles such as Process Safety Engineer, HSE Manager, Process Safety Specialist, Plant Safety Supervisor, and Risk Management Consultant.
It is particularly valuable for professionals working in or targeting roles within oil and gas refineries, petrochemical plants, power and utilities, and chemical storage and distribution facilities across Qatar, where process safety compliance is increasingly tied to operational licensing and major client contracts.
PSM is a systematic approach to identifying, evaluating, and controlling risks associated with highly hazardous chemical processes, reducing the potential for fires, explosions, and toxic releases.
No prior certification is required, though a technical or operational background is recommended given the course's focus on industrial process hazards.
The course typically runs for 28 to 32 hours.
Assessment is through a multiple-choice examination, with a Process Safety Management Certificate issued by Leaders Training Centre upon successful completion.
The course is built around OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 and CCPS Center for Chemical Process Safety guidelines.
Oil and gas refineries, petrochemical plants, manufacturing, power and utilities, and chemical storage and distribution facilities all benefit from having PSM-trained professionals on staff.
