Notes on slide 1

The requirements of the PSM standard are intended to eliminate or mitigate the consequences of releases of highly hazardous chemicals which may be toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive. The standard emphasizes the application of management controls when addressing the risks associated with handling or working near hazardous chemicals.

      • Processes with 10,000 pounds or more of flammable liquid or gas
      • Please refer to PSM standard for details for exact definitions
  3. PSM Applicability
    • Processes with certain chemicals above specified thresholds
    • Processes with 10,000 lbs or more of flammable gas or liquid
    • Risk-based criteria

    • Objective: Accountability
  6. 2. Process Safety Information
    • Chemical information:
    • Toxicity information 
    • Permissible exposure limits
    • Physical data

    • Thermal and chemical stability data
    • Hazardous effects of inadvertent mixing
    • Objective: Knowledge and Control of the Operation
  7. 3. Process Safety Information
    • Technology information:
    •   Block or simplified Process Flow Diagram (PFD)
    •   Process chemistry
    •   Maximum inventory
    •   Safe upper and lower limits
    •   Consequences of deviation
    • Objective: Knowledge and Control of the Operation
  8. 3. Process Safety Information (cont’d.)
    • Equipment information:
    • Materials of construction (MOC)
    • Piping and Instrument Diagrams (P&IDs)
    • Electrical classification
    • Relief systems design and design basis
    • Ventilation system design
    • Design codes employed
    • Material and Energy Balances
    • Safety systems
    • Objective: Knowledge and Control of the Operation
  9. 4. Safe Work Practices
    • Hot Work permit
    • Fire prevention and protection requirements  
    • Safe conduct of operating, maintenance, and modification activities
    • Control of materials and substances
    • Control of access to process areas
    • Objective: Knowledge and Control of the Operation
  10. 5. Contractors (Host Employer Responsibilities)
    • Host employer must:
    • Consider safety records in selecting contractors
    • Inform contractors of potential process hazards
    • Explain the facility's emergency action plan
    • Evaluate contractor safety performance
    • Maintain injury/illness log for contractors working in process areas
    • Objective: Knowledge and Control of the Operation
  11. 5. Contractors (Contractor Employer Responsibilities)
    • Contractor employer must:
    • Train their employees in safe work practices and document that training
    • Assure that employees know about potential process hazards and emergency action plan
    • Assure that employees follow safety rules of facility
    • Advise employer of hazards
    • Objective: Knowledge and Control of the Operation
  12. 6. Operating Procedures
    • Written operating procedures which are specific to each of the facility's operating areas
    • The operating procedures must address:
      • Initial startup
      • Normal operation
      • Temporary operations
      • Emergency operations
      • Normal shutdown
      • Startup following turnaround

    • Training should include:
      • Initial training
      • Refresher and supplemental training
      • Communication of change
      • Contractor training
    • Objective: Knowledge and Control of the Operation
  14. 8. Process Hazards Analysis (PHA)
    • PHA should be performed at least every five years to minimize the likelihood of occurrence and the consequence of a dangerous substance release
    • Recommended methods for conducting a PHA:
      • What If
      • Checklist
      • What If/Checklist
      • HAZOP
      • FMEA
      • FTA
