NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Process Safety Management in Cameroon

Developed jointly by NEBOSH and the UK Health and Safety Executive, this qualification builds understanding of accepted principles and industrial practices for managing process risk and preventing major accidents.

The qualification is designed for managers, safety representatives and HSE advisers in process industries. It develops process-risk understanding rather than specialist competence in process plant design and engineering.

Yes. Learn to recognise process hazards and understand controls for loss of containment, fire, explosion and major-accident risks in oil and gas operations.

The NEBOSH PSM examination is in English. Discuss your learning-language needs with SQMI admissions when planning your enrolment; French learning support does not change the examination language.

GIC is not a formal prerequisite. Prior health and safety knowledge is recommended, and a general certificate provides a useful foundation for studying process risk.

There are no formal academic entry requirements. An underpinning knowledge of health and safety is recommended, together with English proficiency equivalent to IELTS 6.0 or higher.

PSM1 covers four elements: process safety leadership, management of process risk, process safety hazard control, and fire and explosion protection.

It is the systematic management of hazards that can cause major incidents, including fires, explosions and releases of hazardous substances. It brings together equipment integrity, operating procedures and organisational controls.

Occupational safety addresses harm from everyday work activities. Process safety focuses on preventing major events such as toxic releases, explosions and large fires. Effective operations need both.

Set clear responsibilities, maintain competence, allocate resources, monitor performance and learn from incidents. Leadership decisions must support the controls that prevent major accidents.

Identify process hazards, evaluate their consequences and likelihood, select effective safeguards and review risks when operating conditions, equipment or procedures change.

Loss of containment occurs when a substance escapes from the equipment or system intended to hold it. Depending on the substance and conditions, the release can cause toxic exposure, fire, explosion or environmental harm.

No. PSM develops understanding of process hazard identification and risk management. Leading specialist HAZOP studies requires additional competence and experience.

Process-risk management includes recognising how changes to equipment, substances, procedures and operating conditions affect hazards and safeguards. Controlled change is essential to preventing major accidents.

Yes. Fire and explosion protection is one of the four syllabus elements, alongside leadership, process-risk management and process safety hazard control.

Unit PSM1 is assessed through a 90-minute online multiple-choice examination in English.

The PSM1 assessment contains 40 multiple-choice questions, including questions based on workplace scenarios.

The pass mark is 60%. Successful candidates receive the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Process Safety Management.

Plan for a minimum of 28 taught hours, approximately 20 hours of private study and the 90-minute assessment. SQMI provides the timetable for your chosen intake.

Yes, where facilities handle hazardous substances. The course covers process-risk principles and bulk storage hazards and controls. Site-specific engineering studies and operating training remain separate responsibilities.

Strengthen your contribution to process-risk management in HSE, supervision and operational roles. The qualification complements relevant experience and the technical requirements of your role.

No. GIC provides broad occupational health and safety knowledge and practical risk-assessment skills. PSM specialises in major-accident hazards in process industries. The qualifications complement each other.
