Process Safety Management Awareness (Federal OSHA) Online Training

This online course covers the federal OSHA process safety management (PSM) standard for highly hazardous chemicals (29 CFR 1910.119) and is written for operators, maintenance workers and other workers on or near a process covered by the standard.

How it works

• 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.

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 the PSM standard, highly hazardous chemicals, the 14 elements, and each worker's role. It is a supplement to, not a replacement for, your employer's process-specific training under 1910.119(g) and (j). It does not qualify anyone for process hazard analysis (PHA), incident investigation or audit teams, does not deliver contract-employer training under 1910.119(h)(3), and does not cover California 8 CCR 5189 or 5189.1.
