A new 2-day training workshop will examine OSHA process safety management by a focus on plant mechanical infrastructure. “Process Safety Management: Mechanical Integrity” will be held October 11-12 at Cargill in Blair, Nebraska. The course is meant for plant managers, engineers, auditors, and any other personnel participating in plant site MI programs.

“We will go in-depth on OSHA 29CFR 1910.119 process regulatory element of Mechanical Integrity with an expert instructor,” says Matthew Jorgensen, project specialist with the Nebraska MEP. The course will be led by Phillip M. Myers of Advantage Risk Solutions, a process safety, risk analysis, and risk management consultancy based Sunbury, Ohio. Myers has over 30 years of industry experience.

The cost is $1,700 per person. The Nebraska Ethanol Board is offering a tuition reimbursement of $500 per person upon completion to employees of qualifying ethanol plants located in Nebraska. Reimbursement funds are limited to the first 20 qualifying registrants. Certificates of Completion will be issued awarding 1.3 CEUs (equal to 13 PDHs), often used to maintain professional licenses. 

The workshop is sponsored by the Nebraska MEP, the University of Nebraska College of Engineering, the Nebraska Ethanol Board, Cargill, Advantage Risk Solutions, Novozymes, and EAD.
