Mistakes, Omissions, and Other Process Safety Information Regularities (and How to Correct Them - the 'Data Turnaround')

摘要

Recent industry performance and National Emphasis Program (NEP) citations demonstrate that the petrochemical industry continues to struggle with the basics of nearly all of the PSM elements. Many of the problems are rooted in inaccurate Process Safety Information (PSI). This paper explores how nearly twenty years after the passage of OSHA's Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals regulation, facilities still struggle to effectively manage their PSI. Each facility must maintain separate and disparate systems, with each system designed for compliance with the different elements of the PSM standard.
