Leadership Masters Series: Lessons Learned in Process Safety Management


Who better to discuss a safety topic than those who developed the standard and understand the facts first hand? As huge penalties come down on BP for the 2005 Texas City explosion that killed 15 people, Jerry Scannell, former assistant secretary for OSHA who promulgated the Process Safety Management for Highly Hazardous Chemicals Standard, and Gary Visscher of the U.S. Chemical Safety Board will discuss how BP and companies cited under OSHA’s Process Safety Management Standard could have avoided penalties, and more importantly prevented injuries and saved lives. Attendees will come away with practical advice on to learn from these accidents and avoid similar occurrences in their facilities.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify new and innovative methods for process safety management compliance through case study discussion.
  • Pinpoint thorny areas in OSHA’s Process Safety Management Standard, and learn how to overcome compliance challenges.
  • Benchmark your process safety management program.
  • Gain insight into what inspectors look for in process safety management plans.
