In today’s high-risk industries, especially oil and gas, petrochemicals, manufacturing, and energy, process protection is not just a requirement this is an important responsibility. NEBOSH Process Safety Management (PSM) bridges the gap between technical knowledge and safety exercises, which is one of the most demanded certificates for professionals working in a dangerous environment.
In Gulf Academy of Safety, we offer a dynamic, internationally recognized NEBOSH PSM courses in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Whether you are an engineer, security officer, supervisor, or procedure manager, this course empowers you with essential principles of process safety and enhances your ability to prevent critical failures.
The NEBOSH PSM (Process Safety Management) course is a joint qualification developed by NEBOSH (UK’s leading health and safety awarding body) and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) – Britain’s national regulator for workplace health and safety.
This certificate focuses specifically on process safety, a specialized branch of safety that deals with managing the integrity of operating systems and processes handling hazardous substances. Unlike general health and safety, process safety is about preventing major accidents, fires, explosions, and toxic releases that can cause widespread damage.
The course content is practical, technical, and designed to help you apply process safety knowledge to real-life scenarios in high-hazard workplaces.
