PSM – Process Safety Management
What is PSM – Process Safety Management?
Process Safety Management is an OSHA standard requiring the management of hazards associated with processes that involve highly hazardous chemicals (HHCs). It is also also the generally used term for the management of HHCs, which is required by numerous similar regulatory regimes around the globe. Examples of typical PSM covered activities include petroleum refining, reactive chemicals and explosives manufacturing, ammonia refrigeration, etc. Covered facilities must establish formal procedures to manage changes to processes and train employees on emergency procedures and safe work practices for covered processes. The EPA also enforces similar requirements under its Risk Management Plan (RMP) Rule.
