The Risk-Based Process Safety (RBPS) course provides participants with a structured and modern approach to managing risks associated with hazardous processes in industrial environments. Developed by the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), the RBPS framework focuses on identifying, evaluating, and controlling process safety hazards through a system of 20 interconnected elements. This course equips engineers, safety professionals, and operations leaders with the tools to build a strong process safety culture, improve operational reliability, and prevent major accidents.
This course is ideal for professionals working in chemical, oil & gas, pharmaceutical, power, and manufacturing industries. A background in engineering, operations, or safety is recommended, but not mandatory.

This course is designed for process engineers, HSE professionals, plant managers, maintenance personnel, and technical leaders involved in the design, operation, or management of hazardous industrial processes.
While prior exposure to process operations or basic safety concepts is helpful, the course is designed to accommodate participants with varying levels of experience in safety or engineering.
The course is typically delivered over 3 to 5 days, depending on the depth of content and inclusion of workshops or case studies.
This course is available in both online and in-person formats. In-person delivery may include site-specific applications and interactive group sessions.
Yes. Participants are assessed through:
Case study evaluations
Group activities and presentations
A final knowledge assessment or quiz
A certificate of completion is awarded upon successful performance.
