These training standards are designed to raise awareness and support improvements in process safety performance within organisations are managing hazards with the potential for major incidents.
These courses have been recognised by the Health and Safety Executive as making a major contribution to improving the levels of process safety awareness and knowledge that they expect to see in major hazard businesses.
