Houston, TX – April 16, 2018
Process Safety Solutions, LLC (PSS) today announced a new integrated solution for managing contractor employee safety training, compliance and documentation. PSS is leveraging its industry-leading process safety training expertise and partnering with Operational Sustainability® (OS) to deliver PSS Advantage™, an all-encompassing contractor screening, verification, and training system designed to enhance the safety of contractor employees and address the gap in contractor training and performance verification.
"If you hire contractors, PSS Advantage™ helps you ensure the required training for their employees is at the same level or higher than yours. You will have well-trained and qualified contractors to choose from, while reducing your process safety risks and exposure to OSHA and EPA violations and fines," said Ric Hartung, CEO of PSS. Hartung said PSS chose to partner with OS to deliver the customized-by-site safety training content because of OS's reputation as a technology innovator. "We knew we needed a reliable way to deliver the content, track the results, and trigger action points based on the score and performance data. OS was a natural fit," Hartung said.
OS has extensive experience in designing and implementing software applications for the process industries, and saw the joint solution with PSS as a meaningful extension of its core business. "We help companies manage operational risk and achieve operational excellence. Improving human competency is a key component of both initiatives, so we are excited about the opportunity to address risk through this solution," David Drerup, CEO of OS, said.
PSS takes a practical, risk-based approach to help clients successfully navigate and comply with a complex web of local, state, and federal safety regulations for petrochemical, oil & gas, and ammonia refrigeration facilities. PSS offers instructor-led training courses delivered by a highly experienced industry engineer and former OSHA PSM Specialist. Our offerings are backed by more than 25 years of industry knowledge and experience, which ensures a holistic approach to process safety that is not limited only to a regulatory viewpoint. Courses are offered on site or via public access in Houston, TX or in other scheduled locations.
