2. • 1984: Bhopal India, Chemical Release
and Fatalities
• 1989: Pasadena, Texas, chemical plant
explosion, 23 deaths and over 100
confirmed injuries
• 1992: Congressional pressure, concerns
over protecting the Public & workers
OSHA Rules was issued
• 1994: OSHA (29 CFR 1910.119) was
developed
BACKGROUND OF PSM
1984 Bhopal
3. • It encompasses all the aspects of process safety with an objective to
operate a faculty safely.
• Process Safety Management (PSM) relates principally to Major
Hazards (Fire Explosion, Runaway Reaction, Toxic Release with
adverse consequences on human, environment & business loss.
• The goal of a sound PSM program is to effectively ensure that process
facilities handling highly hazardous materials operate safely. PSM also
addresses issues related to the Operability, Productivity, Stability and
Quality output of processes, leading to providing safeguards against
undesirable events.
What Is Process Safety Management (PSM)?
4. PSM is defined as:
• Application of management systems and controls
(programs, procedures, audits, evaluations) to a
manufacturing process in a way that process hazards
are identified, understood, and controlled so that
process related injuries and incidents are prevented.
What Is Process Safety Management (PSM)?
5. • There is no thumb rule for the number of PSM elements to be
implemented for a company.
• It will widely depend upon the type and quantity of chemicals
being involved, size of the facility and type of chemical processes
involved.
• A PSM program has to CUSTOMIZED to precisely suit the facility.
Number of PSM Elements
6. However, following aspects of process safety must be considered while designing
PSM program for any facility. This can be done by combining various aspects in one
element as well as fragmenting one aspect in more than one element….
– Process Safety Information
– Process Hazard Analysis
– Safe Work Practices
– Management of Change
– Mechanical Integrity
– Quality Assurance
– Pre-Startup Safety Review
– Contractor Safety
– Incident Investigation
– Emergency Planning and Response
– Training Compliance
– Audits Employee
– Involvement
Number of PSM Elements
8. • The major aim of PSM is to develop plant systems and procedures to
prevent unwanted releases which may ignite and cause toxic
impacts, local fires or explosion in plants - effecting nearby
communities.
• Proper Safety Management results in reduced exposure to lawsuits,
penalties, public liability claims and hikes in insurance premiums.
• Other intangible benefits include retention of corporate image.

This is the text book definition of Process Safety Management. PSM is more that the OSHA standard. It originally was developed by AIChe (American Institute of Chemical Engineers) Center for Process Safety, refineries (American Petroleum Institute) and chemical manufacturers (Chemical Manufacturer’s Association -Responsible Care) as a management system for hazardous processes. We’ve all heard the tale of Bhopal, India, where over 2000 died from a release of Isocyanates. OSHA adopted these organizations’ framework, and on their heels was EPA with their Risk Management rule.
