Process Safety Management
(PSM)
Challenges of Implementing PSM Program & How We Can Help
Highly Hazardous Chemicals (HHC), including toxic chemicals, reactive chemicals, and flammable liquids and gases, pose serious challenges to process safety due to the toxicity, flammability, and explosion hazards of the hazardous chemicals. If not managed adequately, these chemicals can cause disastrous incidents with extremely dangerous and sometimes fatal consequences in manufacturing process, transportation, and storage. OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) standard (29 CFR 1910.119) sets the requirements for PSM in facilities that have sufficient amounts of hazardous chemicals.
PSM is an ongoing effort to deal with changing processes, operations, materials, equipment, and facilities. Therefore, to achieve the objectives of PSM, a PSM program must be systematic and effective and be updated to catch up with the ever-changing conditions.
Our experts possess in-depth expertise and experience in process safety, which are needed to assist clients concerned with individual aspects of safe handling of HHC and those chemicals that are not traditionally considered as HHC, but can present major fire, explosion, and environmental hazards.
We assist clients in various forms, including establishing and implementing PSM programs as well as handling individual PSM elements such as hazard and risk analysis (like PHA), consequence analysis, safety review, and PSM audit. Our experts help find the gaps and provide effective and practical solutions.
