A five-day training course on Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards is scheduled to take place in Manama, Bahrain, from 22 February 2026 at the Fraser Suites Seef Bahrain. The course aims to enhance workplace safety knowledge and implementation among industrial personnel.
The course will cover OSHA’s globally recognised health and safety standards, emphasising both high-hazard chemical plants and general industrial applications. Organisers said the training is intended to refresh participants’ understanding of key standards, encourage accurate application, and improve operational performance, ultimately benefiting organisational efficiency and profitability.
Key topics to be addressed include Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals (29 CFR 1910.119), HazCom 2012 (29 CFR 1910.200), the OSHA Act, and Permit-required Confined Spaces (29 CFR 1910.146). In addition, OSHA’s Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines will be explored to help participants strengthen safety protocols in their workplaces.
Course objectives include applying best practices for confined space entry, analysing process safety management, evaluating chemical hazard controls, developing safer systems of work, and understanding the basis of HAZOP studies. Attendees will also gain practical insights into reviewing Standard Operating Procedures and supporting recommendations for improved process safety management.
The training methodology combines face-to-face instruction with interactive adult learning techniques, including exercises, group discussions, case studies, and training videos. This approach is designed to maximise comprehension, retention, and practical application of OSHA standards.
Organisers noted the course will benefit both individuals and organisations. Employees will gain expertise in developing safe systems of work, understanding OSHA law, recognising inherently safer design principles, and evaluating safety management effectiveness. Organisations, in turn, can expect increased professionalism, enhanced team collaboration, improved working systems, and higher operational efficiency.
The course is suitable for a wide range of professionals, including team leaders, health and safety personnel, process engineers, shift managers, and maintenance engineers.
The five-day outline covers a structured progression from general OSHA standards and hazard assessment on day one, to detailed sessions on process safety management and HAZOP studies over days two and three. Day four focuses on confined space entry, non-routine work, and emergency preparedness, while day five addresses occupational health, HazCom 2012, chemical classifications, and safety data sheets.
Organisers at Global Horizon Training Centre emphasised that staying up-to-date with OSHA standards is critical for maintaining safe industrial environments and promoting a culture of continuous improvement across organisations in Bahrain and the wider region.
