Did you know?

Major accidents develop when several barriers fail together. Process safety training teaches people to see the barriers around their work and the decisions that weaken them.

Process Safety Training

Process safety training covers the prevention of major accidents: fires, explosions and releases of hazardous substances. It works by making invisible systems visible:

  • Barrier thinking: what each layer stops and what defeats it
  • Your major accident hazards, specifically
  • Management of change and why it exists
  • Alarm response before alarms become floods
  • Lessons from the industry's defining disasters

Major accident hazards are hard to train because the events are rare. Barriers degrade through small everyday decisions, an override, a deferred repair, an unassessed change, and the degradation isn't visible to the people making those decisions.

Process safety training connects daily work to the safety case. People learn what each barrier stops and what defeats it, watch a normal shift drift toward a major event and learn to stop it, and see their own tasks in the context of the hazards your safety case names.

Why SHIIFT

SHIIFT works across every training format, which means barrier thinking and major accident hazards can be taught with the weight they deserve.

  • Animation: barriers working, degrading and failing in combination, the way major accidents develop
  • Training videos: the industry's defining disasters told with respect, connecting your controls to the events that created them
  • E-learning: your safety case concepts on record across the workforce, in language operators actually use
  • Interactive scenarios: a normal shift drifting toward a major event, recognized and stopped in time, repeatedly
  • Posters: barrier and major-hazard visuals in control rooms and crew rooms, matched to the training
  • PowerPoint materials: leadership and management-of-change briefing decks

Content builds on the major accident hazards your safety case actually names, so the discipline connects to your plant rather than to theory.

Get Started

Modules cover barrier thinking, safe operating limits and the discipline of management of change, with scenario assessments testing whether people spot the degraded barrier and challenge the creeping change.

Paired with lessons learned programs, your own near-misses become the strongest chapters.

Talk to our team about the barriers your safety case relies on.

Common questions

What does process safety training cover?

+

We cover barrier thinking, safe operating limits, management of change and learning from major accidents, grounded in your own process.

Who is it for?

+

We build it for operators, maintainers, engineers and leaders alike, because process safety fails in the gaps between them.

How is it different from occupational safety training?

+

We treat them as the different disciplines they are: occupational safety protects the person, while process safety protects everyone from the plant.

Can it use recognized industry incidents?

+

We recreate industry majors and your own near-misses visually, so the mechanism of each event is unmistakable.

Can training assets be reused for future courses?

+

Where a program builds 3D assets, we reuse your plant models for procedures, readiness and control room programs, and barrier animations refresh cheaply.

How is understanding assessed?

+

We score whether learners spot degraded barriers and challenge unsafe change in scenario assessments, per learner, in your LMS through the optional SCORM add-on.
