The Process Safety Management for Operations (PSMO) – Licence to Train programme enables organisations to build and sustain internal capability in process safety training across their operational workforce. Designed for high-hazard industries, the programme equips approved trainers with the knowledge, confidence, and structured materials required to deliver consistent, high-impact process safety training aligned to industry training standards and recognised as best practice by the HSE.
By embedding PSMO internally, organisations strengthen operational discipline, reinforce critical control awareness, and ensure process safety expectations are understood at every level. The programme supports regulatory compliance, improves workforce competence, and helps create a safer, more resilient operating environment.
By completing the PSMO – Licence to Train programme, approved trainers will gain the knowledge, confidence, and resources required to deliver Process Safety Management for Operations training within their organisation.
Participants will learn how to:
• Deliver the PSMO training programme using structured materials and recognised good practice
• Explain major accident hazards and the importance of effective process safety management in operational environments
• Communicate the role of critical controls and operational discipline in preventing major incidents
• Facilitate engaging training sessions that reinforce process safety responsibilities for frontline teams
• Support the consistent rollout of PSMO training across sites, teams, and operational functions
Successful completion enables trainers to deliver licensed PSMO training internally, helping organisations embed process safety knowledge across their workforce.
The PSMO – Licence to Train programme is designed for organisations that want to build internal capability to deliver process safety training to their operational workforce.
It is particularly suited to 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.
The PSMO – Licence to Train programme is delivered by experienced process safety practitioners and combines technical understanding with practical trainer development.
The programme includes:
• Structured training on the PSMO framework and learning content
• Guidance on how to effectively deliver the programme to operational teams
