It also discusses risk assessment techniques like event tree analysis and fault tree analysis. Finally, it covers accident statistics, fire and explosion hazards, and flammability characteristics important for assessing process safety.
The document provides an overview of process safety, outlining key differences from occupational safety. It describes process safety as involving the prevention of unintentional chemical releases that can seriously impact plants and the environment. The ten pillars of compliance for process safety management are then defined, including safety management systems, aging equipment, competence, safety instrumented systems, overfill prevention, containment, emergency response plans, performance indicators, and safety leadership. Major accidents that resulted from failures in management of change are also discussed.
1) As a result of a catastrophic explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas in 2013, OSHA is considering revisions to its Process Safety Management standard.
2) Two key areas OSHA may clarify are exemptions for flammable liquids in atmospheric storage tanks and using New Jersey's Toxic Catastrophe Prevention Act as a model, which defines "catastrophic release" more broadly.
3) The revisions could affect aboveground tank owners by expanding coverage, requiring stricter staffing levels, and defining equipment deficiency timelines.
The document outlines the Capacity Development Program in Environment Management (CDEM) Module 1 on Environment Policy and Regulations that was held from September 26-30, 2016.

1. HIRA involves identifying hazards, assessing risks, and recommending control measures to reduce risks. It is carried out by trained professionals and results in a comprehensive HIRA document.
2. The HIRA process involves listing all workplace activities, identifying associated hazards, evaluating existing controls, rating risks, and recommending additional controls if needed.
3. HIRA covers various areas like management systems, workplaces, equipment, and aims to provide a total understanding of significant hazards to make the workplace safe.
This document defines and describes different types of fires and explosions that can occur when flammable chemicals are released. It explains what causes fires and explosions to happen, the primary hazards associated with each type, and some of the key terms used to describe fires and explosions, such as flash point, flammability limits, BLEVEs, jet fires, pool fires, vapor cloud explosions, deflagrations and detonations. The document is intended to provide an overview of fires and explosions to help understand how to model related scenarios using the ALOHA software.
This document discusses safety integrity levels (SILs) which are assigned based on a risk assessment of industrial safety systems. SILs range from 0 to 4, with 4 being the highest level of safety integrity. The document outlines factors that determine a system's SIL such as the number and effectiveness of safety measures implemented. It also discusses challenges in applying SILs such as over-allocating the highest SIL 4 which can be expensive. The document concludes that agreed risk acceptance levels should be used and lower SILs may be sufficient rather than always defaulting to the highest SIL 4 level.
This document discusses different types of respiratory protective devices used to protect workers from airborne contaminants.

5. Scope and Application
▪ A process which involves a chemical at or above the
specified threshold quantities (TQ) listed in Appendix A
of the Rule. (TQ amounts vary by chemical)
OR
▪ A process which involves a flammable liquid or gas on
site in one location, in a quantity of 10,000 pounds
(4535.9 kg) or more
– e.g., 10,000 lbs. of Methane = 223,714 ft3 at STP
Methane produced in a large wastewatertreatment plant is covered if the
total amount of methane in the process exceeds 10,000 pounds.
Link to Appendix A
6. Appendix A Examples
Chemical Name CAS # TQ (lbs)
Ammonia,Anhydrous 7664-41-710000 10,000
Chlorine 7782-50-51500 1500
Hydrogen Sulfide 7783-06-4 1500
NOTE: 1500 lbs. of Hydrogen Sulfide = 16,760 ft3 at NTP
NTP – Normal Temperature and Pressure - is defined as air at
20oC (68°F) and 1 atm (, 14.7 psia, 0 psig, 30 in Hg, 760 torr)
STP – Standard Temperature and Pressure - is defined as air at
0oC ( 32oF) and 1 atm (, 14.7 psia, 0 psig, 30 in Hg, 760 torr)
7. Definition of a Chemical Process
▪ Any use, storage, manufacturing, handling, or the on-site
movement of highly hazardous chemicals, or combination
of these activities.

8. A Single Process is:
▪ Any group of vessels which are interconnected, and
▪ Separate vessels which are located such that a highly
hazardous chemical could be involved in a potential
release
11. Exemptions in the Rule
▪ The Rule does not apply to:
– Retail facilities
– Oil or gas well drilling or servicing
– Normally unoccupied remote
facilities
“Normally unoccupied remote facility” means a facility which
is operated, maintained, or serviced by employees who visit
the facility only periodically to check its operation and to
perform necessary operating or maintenance tasks. No
employees are permanently stationed at the facility.
Facilities meeting this definition are not contiguous with, and
must be geographically remote from all other buildings,
processes, or persons.
12. Other PSM Exceptions
▪ Hydrocarbon fuels used solely for workplace
consumption as a fuel (e.g., propane used for
comfort heating, gasoline for vehicle refueling):
- provided such fuels are not a part of a
process containing another highly
hazardous chemical covered by this
standard
▪ Any flammable liquids stored in atmospheric
tanks or transferred which are kept below their
normal boiling point without benefit of chilling or
refrigeration
13. 1996 Court Case - MEER Decision
Flammable liquid storage tank exemption
Judge ruled - flammable liquids stored
or transferred from atmospheric tanks
are exempted regardless of quantity
WAC 296-800-11005 - the “General
Duty Clause” is used to regulate
stored flammables
In a 1996 court decision, the judge ruled that coverage under OSHA's Process Safety
Management Standard does not extend to stored flammables in "atmospheric tanks," even if
they were connected to a "process" within the definition of the standard. DOSH also abides by
this decision.
14. MEER Decision
Process
• Exemption if atmospheric tanks is used solely for storage
• However, process is covered if it involves 10,000 pounds
or more of a flammable liquid
Flammable
Storage
Tank
Flammable liquids
in tanks or vessels
used in the process
(not true storage)
Flammable liquids

* No exemption if the atmosphere tanks are used for
purposes beyond storage
Not exempt
15. 49 CFR Transportation Regulations
Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Act:
- Gives OSHA authority to regulate worker safety in
hazardous materials transportation (called a “reverse
federal preemption provision”)
- Hazardous material cargo would not be exempted by
DOT Hazmat rules or from OSHA regulation including
PSM (e.g., loading and unloading facilities)
16. Process Safety Information
Before completing a hazard analysis the
employer must collect written information on:
– Hazards of the process
– Technology of the process; and,
– The equipment in the process.
The required collection of written process safety information
enables the employer and the employees involved in operating
the process to identify and understand the hazards posed by
those processes.
17. Toxicity Information
Information must include:
– Permissible exposure limits;
– Physical data;
– Reactivity data;
– Corrosivity data;
– Thermal and chemical stability data; and
– Foreseeable hazardous effects of inadvertent
mixing of different materials that could occur.
Note: Material Safety Data Sheets may be used to comply with
this requirement if they contain all of the required information.
18. Trade Secrets
▪ Employers must make trade secret information
available to persons responsible for:
– Compiling the process safety information
– Developing of the process hazard analysis
and operating procedures;
– Incident investigations, emergency planning
and response, and compliance audits.
▪ Confidentiality agreements are permitted.
19. Process Hazard Analysis (PHA)
▪ PHA (hazard evaluation) must be performed that
using one of the following methods:
– What-If;
– Checklist;
– What-If/Checklist;
– Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP);
– Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA);
– Fault Tree Analysis; or
– Appropriate equivalent methodology
Detailed guidance on the content and application of process hazard analysis
methodologies is available from the Center for Chemical Process Safety.
20. Employee Participation in PHA
▪ Employee participation is mandatory in the
hazard analysis process:
– consult with employees and their representatives
on the development of process hazards analyses
– provide access to process hazard analyses to
employees and their representatives
21. Process Hazard Analysis
(Continued)
▪ PHA must be performed by a team with
expertise in engineering and process
operations
▪ One team member must have experience and
knowledge specific to the evaluated process
▪ One team member must be knowledgeable in
the specific PHA methodology implemented at
the site
22. Process Hazard Analysis
(Continued)
▪ The process hazard analysis must address:
– Engineering and administrative controls applicable to
the hazards such as detection of early warning of
releases*
*Acceptable detection methods might
include process monitoring and control
instrumentation with alarms, and
detection hardware such as chlorine
sensors.
At Bhopal, India, smaller accidents had occurred at the plant prior to the disastrous methyl isocyanate (MIC)
release in 1984, and small MIC leaks had been noted on numerous previous occasions highlighting the
need for automatic MIC leak detection. In fact, workers stated that experiencing eye irritation (a symptom
associated with low levels of airborne MIC) was not an unusual phenomenon, but these warnings went
unheeded.
23. Process Hazard Analysis
(Continued)
▪ The process hazard analysis must
address:
– The identification of any previous incident
which had a likely potential for catastrophic
consequences in the workplace.
– PHA must be updated and revalidated
every 5 years.
For example, warnings existed in several of the recent accidents investigated by EPA and OSHA. Prior to
an accident at a Georgia Pacific plant in 1997, the facility had recently experienced a near miss involving
similar circumstances to those resulting in the later accident. An operator was observed adding chemicals to
a batch resin process at too high a rate. Other alert operators noted the procedural deviation, and were able
to prevent an accident. The company investigated the incident and disciplined the first operator. However, no
other actions were taken to change the process and prevent a recurrence. As result an large release of
chemical occurred later.
24. Incident Investigation
▪ Each incident must be investigated that resulted in, or
could reasonably have resulted in, a catastrophic release
of a highly hazardous chemical in the workplace.
▪ The investigation must be initiated no later than 48 hours
following the incident.
▪ An incident investigation team that consists of persons
knowledgeable in the incident process must be
established and the team must thoroughly investigate
and analyze the incident.
25. Incident Investigation
(continued)
▪ A report must be prepared at the conclusion
of the investigation.
▪ A system must be developed to promptly
address, resolve and document the incident
report findings, recommendations and
corrective actions.
▪ The incident report must be made available
to affected employees as well as
contractors; and,
▪ The report must be retained for at least five
years.
At a minimum, the report must contain the following: Date of incident; Date
investigation began; A description of the incident; The factors that contributed to the
incident; and, Any recommendations resulting from the investigation.
26. Pre-startup safety review
▪ A review must be performed for new facilities and for modified
facilities when the modification is significant enough to require a
change in the PSM information.
▪ Prior to the introduction of highly hazardous chemicals to a process,
the required review must confirm that:
– Construction and equipment is in accordance with design
specifications;
– Safety, operating, maintenance, and emergency procedures are
in place and are adequate.
▪ New facilities must perform a process hazard analysis and
implement recommendations before startup.
▪ Modified facilities must meet the requirements in the Management of
Change, section 67-045.
27. Operating Procedures
▪ Develop and implement written operating
procedures* consistent with the process safety
information and addresses at least the following
elements:
– Initial start-up, normal and temporary operations
– Normal and emergency shut-down procedures
– Operating limits and consequences of deviation
– Hazards presented by the process
*Readily accessible to employees
28. Operating Procedures
(Continued)
Develop and implement safe work practices* to
provide for the control of process hazards
during:
– Lockout/tagout;
– Confined space entry;
– Opening process equipment or
piping; and
– Control over entrance into a facility by maintenance,
contractor, laboratory, or other support personnel
* These safe work practices also apply to contractor employees
29. Hot Work Permit
▪ The employer must issue a hot work permit
for hot work operations conducted on or near
a covered process.
▪ The permit must document:
– That the fire prevention requirements in WAC 296-
24-68201(a) have been implemented before starting
the hot work operations;
– The date(s) authorized for hot work; and,
– Identify the object on which hot work is to be
performed.
▪ The permit must be kept on file until
completion of the hot work operations.
Chemical Safety Board Video – Dangers of Hot Work
30. Mechanical Integrity
▪ The employer must establish and
implement written procedures to
maintain the on-going integrity of
process equipment.
▪ The employer must train each
maintenance employee in an
overview of the process, its hazards,
and in the maintenance procedures to
ensure employees can safely perform
assigned tasks.
▪ Deficiencies in equipment that are
outside acceptable limits must be
corrected to assure safe operation.
31. Inspections and Testing
▪ Inspections and tests must be performed on
process equipment according to recognized
and generally accepted good engineering
practices.
▪ The frequency of inspections and tests must
be consistent with applicable manufacturers'
recommendations and good engineering
practices.
▪ Prior operating experience may indicate more
frequent testing and inspection than
manufacturers’ recommendations.
▪ Each performed inspection and test on
process related equipment must be
documented.
32. Quality Assurance
▪ The employer must assure that all new plants
and equipment are fabricated and suitable for
the intended process application.
▪ Appropriate checks and inspections must be
performed to assure that equipment is
installed properly and consistent with design
specifications and the manufacturer's
instructions.
▪ The employer must assure that maintenance
materials, spare parts and equipment are
suitable for the intended process application.
33. Management of Change
▪ Written procedures must be implemented to manage
changes (except for "replacements in kind") to process
chemicals, technology, equipment, procedures, and
facilities that affect a covered process.
▪ Employees and contractors involved in operating or
maintaining a process and whose job tasks will be affected
by a change must receive training and information about
the change prior to start-up.
▪ If a change affects previously documented PSM
information, operating procedures, or practices, then the
written PSM plan must be updated.
▪ The 1998 Equilon Refinery incident was an example of
management of changes rules not being followed.
Link to Chemical Safety Board “Management of Change” Bulletin
34. Emergency Planning and Response
▪ An Emergency Action Plan (EAP) must be
developed to ensure the safe evacuation of
employees
▪ Plan must address all foreseeable
emergency situations (e.g., fire, weather,
chemical releases, etc.)
▪ In addition, an Emergency Response Plan
must be developed if employees will
respond to the chemical release
▪ Plan must address the means and methods
necessary to protect employees responding
to an uncontrolled release of a process
chemical
35. Compliance Audits
▪ The adequacy of the employer’s procedures and practices
must be evaluated and certified at least every three years.
▪ The compliance audit must be conducted by at least one
person knowledgeable in the process.
▪ A report of the findings of the audit must be developed.
▪ The employer must document an appropriate response and
any corrective action for each of the findings in the audit.
▪ The two most recent compliance audit reports must be
retained.
36. Training
▪ Emphasis on the specific safety and health hazards of the
process
▪ Emergency operations including shutdown,
▪ Safe work practices applicable to the employee's job tasks
▪ Refresher training at least every three years
▪ Prepare a record which contains:
– The identity of the employee,
– The date of training, and
– The means used to verify that
employees understood the training
37. Contractors*
▪ Applies to contractors performing
maintenance or repair, turnaround,
major renovation, or specialty work
on or adjacent to a covered process
▪ Employer responsibilities:
– Obtain and evaluate information
regarding the contract
employer's safety performance
and programs
– Inform contract employers of the
known potential fire, explosion,
or toxic release hazards related
to the contractor's work and the
process
* Does not apply to contractors providing incidental services which do not influence
process safety, such as janitorial work, food and drink services...
38. PSM vs. EPA Risk Management Plans(RMP)
The principal areas in which the requirements of
the EPA differ from the OSHA Rule are:
Different chemical list and Threshold Quantities (TQ) for
some chemicals. e.g., Chlorine 1500 lbs. (PSM) v. 2500 lbs.
(RMP)
EPA requires hazard assessments that include analyses of
the “worst case” accident consequences.
EPA requires preparation of written risk management plans
to document the risk management program. The plans must
be submitted to designated agencies and will be available to
the public.
Risk Management Plans must be registered with the EPA.
39. PSM Summary
▪ Facilities with a process using a highly hazardous chemical
in an amount exceeding the TQ must develop, document
and implement:
– Written hazard information, process analysis, operating
procedures, emergency procedures and
employee/contractor training.
– Maintenance procedures, inspections, incident
evaluations.
– Re-evaluation of PSM information, procedures,
compliance audits of processes and related equipment,
and refresher training every three years.
– PHA must be updated & revalidated every 5 years.
