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.
