Process safety management (PSM) is about preventing incidents from interrupting your operations and negatively impacting your business.

Process Safety Management: Driving Business Value

Incidents, injuries, accidents, and illness can hurt your bottom line. That’s why compliance with OSHA’s PSM and EPA’s RPM standards is so important.

• The U.S. Occupational Health and Safety (OSHA) Administration’s Process Safety Management (PSM) standard contains requirements for the management of hazards associated with processes using highly hazardous chemicals.
• The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires the development of Risk Management Plans (RMPs) that are available to the public and that address hazards assessment, prevention, and emergency response.

For companies in industries such as food and beverage, compliance is critical. For example, food and beverage companies that use ammonia refrigeration need to reduce the risk of leaks that can endanger workers and interrupt business operations. Chemical processing facilities face risks such as accidental discharges, explosions, and fires. In the semiconductor industry, failure to meet standards can result in product losses to wafer or chips.

EHS Risk Management builds PSM programs with Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) documents the capture all of your risks. For example, by talking to your chemical engineers, our experts can assess potential leaks of flammable chemicals. We can build your PSM program at the corporate level, extend it to the facility level, and then perform third-party assessments every three years.
