Protecting our employees, communities and
industries through skills and training
In the wake of major
accidents around the globe, and building on the recommendations of
the Process Safety Leadership Group, in 2010 the Skills Academy and
Cogent SSC announced the formation of a Process Safety Management
Project Board with senior industry and union representatives, the
HSE, CIA, UKPIA
and IChemE, to tackle the issue of quality
assuring Process Safety training.
This Project Board is
leading the establishment of the industry training and standards
that will underpin the Process Safety Management skills, knowledge
and competence in the UK Process Industries. The Board is also
supported by an Expert Panel of volunteers from industry, training
and education with the experience and specific knowledge required
to oversee the development a suite of training standards for
Process Safety.
The Academy is building a
network of quality assured Academy Accredited training providers
specialising in Process Safety, to ensure it can offer employers a
choice of endorsed courses and approved trainers that fully meet
the standards that have been set by industry and its
representatives.
The first courses are now
being endorsed by the Academy against the training standard for
Process Safety Leadership for Senior Executives.
