NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Process Safety Management Online (E-learning)

Manage Major Hazard Process Risks, Studying Online at Your Own Pace

The NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Process Safety Management was developed by NEBOSH with Great Britain's health and safety regulator, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). It gives people working in process industries a sound grasp of the accepted principles and recognised industry practice for controlling process risks: leading process safety, assessing and managing risk, controlling hazards such as chemical reactions and bulk storage of dangerous substances, and planning for fire, explosion and emergencies.

This version is studied by self-paced e-learning, so you can fit it around shifts and site commitments without attending a classroom.

NEBOSH exam fees are included in the course price.

Who Is the Course For?

Managers, safety representatives and health and safety advisers working in process industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, plastics and pharmaceuticals, in the UK or overseas.
