Process Safety Management
OSHA states in CFR 1910.119AppC that “The major objective of process safety management of highly hazardous chemicals is to prevent unwanted releases of hazardous chemicals especially into locations which could expose employees and others to serious hazards. . . An effective process safety management program requires a systematic approach to evaluating the whole process. . . Process safety management is the proactive identification, evaluation and mitigation or prevention of chemical releases that could occur as a result of failures in process, procedures or equipment.” OSHA states in CFR 1910.1200 “The purpose of this section is to ensure that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported are evaluated, and that information concerning their hazards is transmitted to employers and employees.” REG will guide the plant personnel through the PSM process at the same time informing and training the personnel regarding the process, hazards, safety and communication.
