Process Safety Management for Operations – License to Train (PSMO)
Who is it for?
Your own internal training lead/ in house resource, who will be trained and provided with all content to deliver the 12-hour modular course to your operators under license.
2 Day Course
The PSMO Licence to Train will give you and your business the tools and techniques to deliver in-house process safety training to the industry standard* for your operators, maintenance technicians and long-term contractors.
Before starting the PSM training, the company’s focus was on the shift from personal safety to process safety. Following the training we have improved our process safety culture and performance through enhancing personal safety with process safety. Cogent Skills played a central role throughout, and the fact the programme is developed by peer companies is very valuable. The participants noted it was the most relevant training they had ever been on.

How does it work?
Commit
Identify the personnel in your business with the relevant process safety knowledge and training experience to deliver PSMO in-house to your employees.
Prepare
Send your identified trainer(s) on our comprehensive two day Train the Trainer course to equip them with a thorough understanding of the PSMO training standard requirements and the course materials.
Prepare for your first in-house course and incorporate your own materials to contextualise the training, to reflect your own major accident hazards and process safety management systems.
Set the date for your in-house courses, register your delegates and order their course handbooks. Your new Licensed Trainers will be assessed through observation when they first deliver PSMO in the workplace.
Deliver
PSMO can be delivered as an intensive two-day course or in modules over a 3-6 month period. The choice is yours.
