Do you recall December 2, 1984? That day, and into the next, a large chemical processing facility in Bhopal, India, experienced one of the most devastating industrial accidents to date. As a result, multiple regulations emerged, including the OSHA standard for Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals (29 CFR 1910.119), commonly known as PSM. You can visit the Chemical Safety Board’s website for an educational video of this landmark incident.
What is PSM? Simply put, it is a regulatory-mandated management system that applies for most interconnected systems holding 10,000 lbs or more of a flammable chemical or set quantities of other hazardous chemicals. It comprises several key components to ensure a robust system is in place to manage the hazards that arise when large amounts of hazardous materials are present.
During this session, we will cover the various elements of the OSHA PSM standard with focus on how to efficiently implement its requirements. We’ll also review how your company’s PSM program can interact with other existing programs and management systems.
Beyond compliance, the course will show how PSM concepts can be applied to a variety of manufacturing environments to improve safety performance.
