Performance Work Statement Instructional Services OSHA Training Institute Course #3400 Hazard Analysis in Chemical Processing Industries Terminal Learning Objectives 1 and 2

PART 1 General Information

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction:

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to provide instructional delivery services. OSHA OTI is looking to procure a single year plus four option years Firm-Fixed Price for one (1) subject matter expert to teach content relating to Terminal Learning Objectives and Enabling Learning Objectives 1 and 2 of Hazard Analysis in the Chemical Processing Industries OSHA #3400. The instructional services are for day 1 and day 2 of the OSHA Training Institute (OTI) #3400 - Hazard Analysis in the Chemical Processing Industries. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background:

The OSHA Directorate of Administrative Programs (DAP) Office of Training and Education (OTE) provides occupational safety and health training under the scope of 29 CFR 1913, 29 CFR 1915, 29 CFR 1910, and 29 CFR 1926. The, a Division of OTE, supports OSHA's mission and performance goals by providing training and education in occupational safety and health and OSHA policies and procedures for federal and state compliance officers, state consultants, whistleblower investigators, and OSHA professional and technical support personnel.

This course is the second in a series of three (3) Process Safety Management (PSM) courses offered by OTI. The OSHA Training Institute Course #3400 Hazard Analysis in Chemical Processing Industries is an eight-day course. This solicitation covers instructional services for the first two days of the course offering. The course is scheduled to be offered twice before September 30, 2022. Course dates and locations for fiscal years 2023 through 2026 are to be determined (TBD).

The #3400 course focuses on materials science, mechanical integrity, and other significant safety and health issues at facilities regulated by 29 CFR 1910.119, PSM of Highly Hazardous Chemicals. This course includes materials science (the how, why, what, when, and where of metals and corrosion), mechanical integrity (the programs and testing needed to keep piping, pressure vessels, specific equipment items identified as critical to PSM, within proper parameters), relief systems (what are the reasons we need properly designed relief systems for equipment and what information do we need to look for to evaluate the employers' program), and Process Hazard Analyses (PHA). Students evaluate major case incidents to determine what specific PSM elements have been implemented and could the incidents have been prevented. A tour of a chemical facility is included, if feasible.

1.3 Objectives:

1.3.1 Pre-Course Preparation:

OTI has existing training materials for this course which will be made available to the contractor after the award. The awardee is responsible for reviewing the course materials prior to the course offering. Eight (8) hours is the estimated time required for the pre-course preparation.

1.3.2 Course Goals:

Given OSHA’s consensus standards and recognized safe practices used in the chemical processing industry, the student will be able to evaluate the safety and health considerations and other critical hazard control issues where highly hazardous chemicals are processed.

Following this class, students should be able to:

Determine the adequacy of a facility's PHA Students will be able to select appropriate process industry personnel for interviews. These persons have, or should have, necessary information regarding PHAs pertaining to these systems. The students should be able to formulate lists of reasonable questions for industry personnel.

Students are to learn to assess employers' determinations regarding the following:

o Applying PHAs to finding and addressing process hazards o Ensuring that process equipment is maintained as required o The relationship between Mechanical Integrity and PHAs, Management of Change, and Operating procedures.

Training methods and materials should strive to utilize adult learning techniques such as case studies (e.g., using actual cases such as those found in Chemical Safety Board reports), workshops, minimize lecture time, etc. Where applicable, models, actual equipment, photographs of equipment, etc., are strongly encouraged. OTI's goal is to provide courses in the range of 2/3 student activities/involvement and 1/3 lecture/listening.

1.4 Scope:

The Contractor shall provide primary instructional delivery services for 16 hours, over the first two days of each course offering. The instruction services will cover the objectives listed in section 1.3 above and the learning objectives listed in section 5.2 below. The Contractor shall remain in the classroom when not providing primary instruction delivery services.

The instructor may propose adding materials or making changes to the existing materials. However, unless required as a scope of work and preapproved, no such changes are required, and time spent on such changes will not be authorized or paid.

Should the instructor wish to show photos and other materials which are their property and/or the property of their clients and which cannot be provided to OSHA for copying or OSHA's future use, the vendor must receive approval from the OTI Course Chair prior to the first course offering. The OTI recognizes the value of "real life" photos and materials for training and respects the need of outside instructors to assure the confidentiality of such materials. The instructor is advised that once printed materials are provided to students, we cannot ensure that they will be able to remain confidential. Similarly, should the instructor name facilities or people are shown in photos or materials, we cannot ensure that those can remain confidential.

5.4. Other:

While not actually presenting material, the instructor will act as an "in-class" expert, responding to student questions and providing subject matter expertise.

Travel expenses will be reimbursed in accordance with the Federal Travel Regulation.

5.5. Reports and Deliverables:

The contract instructor agrees that if they voluntarily develops materials for the course offerings, the developed training materials are the property of OTI and may not be used in training conducted outside OTI without the written permission from the OTI Director. An electronic copy of and developed training materials will be provided to OTI at least ten days prior to the course. Materials shall be provided in a form suitable for use, modification, and reproduction by OTI, i.e., electronic Microsoft PowerPoint format for PowerPoint slides used in training and Microsoft Word documents for job aids or other written materials. PDF files or paper copies are not an appropriate format for delivering materials developed for OTI use. OTI reserves the right to reject any additional material for use in the course.

If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and-

The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest;

accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
