The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was established in 1970, by the Nixon administration, as a regulatory agency of the Department of Labor. The purpose is to provide general safe conditions in the workplace. Other countries established similar laws. While it encompasses all areas and activities normally encountered in the workplace, one clause sums up the intent:

The OSHA Act of 1970, Section 5(a)(1) establishes the General Duty Clause (sometimes called "red-face test," referring to the reaction of a responsible person called to account for their actions, or lack thereof, in a court of law): Each employer -- shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees

OSHA CFR 1910.119 gives more specific requirements and guidance on Process Safety Management (PSM). This course will give an overview of common terminology and approaches to addressing Process Safety Management (PSM). After completing this course, you will understand basic PSM concepts, enabling you to interact better with PSM practitioners.
