Description
•PSM is a framework for identifying and managing process risks.
•It is a type of safety management system that is specific for the process industries.
•The ultimate goal of PSM is to prevent the occurrence of major hazard incidents which are not appropriately addressed through traditional occupational health and safety procedures.
•PSM strives to ensure all hazards of a process are identified and effectively managed for the lifetime of the process, regardless of changes in personnel, organization, or environment.
•In fact, PSM is the proactive application of management principles to a process for the prevention of loss of containment events.
PSM system is founded on four themes:
1) Commitment of management and corporate objectives to PSM.
2) Hazard assessment, including process knowledge and hazard identification.
3) Risk management such as managing change in the process and change in personnel.
