Process Safety Management Awareness (Cal/OSHA) Online Training

This online course covers California's standard for process safety management of acutely hazardous materials (8 CCR 5189) and is written for workers on or near a process covered by Section 5189.

What you learn

• What process safety management is
• Which processes are covered
• Safety information and operating procedures
• Process hazard analysis
• Your training under Section 5189(g)
• Contractors and their employees
• Equipment integrity, reporting and hot work
• Changes and start-ups

How it works

• You take the course online, at your own pace, on a phone or a computer.
• The final exam opens after at least 60 minutes of active study in the lessons.
• Each topic lesson ends with practice questions that do not count toward your score.
• The final exam has 25 questions drawn at random. You need 80 percent to pass, and you get 3 attempts.
• When you pass, you get a certificate of completion from M Squared Safety Solutions, Inc. The certificate expires 1 year after it is issued.
• This course is also available in Spanish: Concientización sobre la gestión de la seguridad de los procesos (Cal/OSHA): capacitación en línea.

Your employer's part

This online course does not replace the training your employer must give on your own job: site-specific training, and hands-on practice and evaluation where the rule requires them.

What this course does not do

This course explains California's Process Safety Management standard (Title 8, Section 5189), acutely hazardous materials, the elements of the standard, and each worker's role. It is a supplement to, not a replacement for, your employer's process-specific training under Section 5189(g) and its mechanical integrity procedures under Section 5189(j). It is for processes covered by Section 5189. Petroleum refineries (NAICS 324110) follow Section 5189.1, which this course does not cover, and the course alone does not meet a contractor's training duty under Section 5189(h).
