CPET is excited to announce the development of the Process Safety Certificate Program which will promote the ownership of process safety at all levels of operations.
The Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center (MKOPSC) at Texas A&M University and the LyondellBasell Center for Petrochemical, Energy, & Technology (CPET) at San Jacinto College are taking initiatives to develop a process safety training program for workers in the chemical and energy industries. The program will target operators, supervisors, and engineers with four introductory courses designed to provide a thorough knowledge base that is balanced with hands-on, real world applications and practice. Upon completion of the four courses, a trainee will receive a Process Safety Continuing Education Certificate from San Jacinto College.
Content for the four courses is currently in development via a collaboration of MKOPSC, CPET, and subject matter experts participating through the Texas Chemical Council Safety Committee. Leadership and oversight are provided by the Steering Team composed of representatives from MKOPSC, CPET, and Texas Chemical Council.
For more information:
- Jim Griffin, CPET - Associate Vice Chancellor, Senior Vice-President, James.Griffin@sjcd.edu
- Jay Culver, CPET Incumbent Workforce, Jay.Culver@sjcd.edu
- Laura Sotu, CPET Coordinator, CPET Registration Systems, Laura.Sotu@sjcd.edu
Each of the four courses will provide 48 hours of instruction over approximately two months, delivered in a hybrid format consisting of:
- 24 hours of online content containing lecture and study materials prepared by the Texas A&M MKOPSC.
- 24 hours of hands-on, work-based learning at the CPET state-of-the-art facilities.
The first course, Introduction to Process Safety, is recommended prior to taking the Risk Management course. Trainees can choose to take just one course or multiple courses. A certificate will be awarded to those trainees who complete all four courses.
