Join us for an Intro to Process Safety Management 2012, part of the Governor's Industrial Safety & Health Pre-Conference Symposium!

Process Safety Management (PSM) for highly hazardous and explosive chemicals focuses on the triad of technology, facilities and personnel. A strong PSM program saves lives, protects property, reduces accidents, injuries and business losses. Join us for this symposium as we learn about preventable safety shortcomings from the perspective of the U.S. Chemical Safety Board, along with the key PSM risks associated with oil refineries and widely used chemicals such as ammonia, chlorine and chlorine dioxide.
