Process Safety Management

OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) standard requires a team of experts from various fields to assemble process information and perform a hazard analysis of each covered process operated at a facility. KERAMIDA’s highly experienced industrial hygienists, engineers, and process experts work closely with plant personnel to complete both steps of this process and enhance process safety for clients who handle highly hazardous chemicals.

Our PSM Consulting Services include:

Compliance Audits
Process Safety Information (PSI)
Process Hazard Analysis (PHA)
Development of written plans
Training program for employees involved in PSM
Short-term / Long-term assistance
Process Safety Management Applicability Review for New Facilities

Since facilities that store or use a defined “highly hazardous chemical” must comply with OSHA’s PSM regulations as well as the quite similar U.S. EPA risk management program (RMP) regulations, KERAMIDA also offers assistance with EPA Risk Management Plans.

Our services include addressing the 14 required elements of the OSHA Process Safety Management Program:

Process Safety Information
Process Hazard Analysis
Operating Procedures
Training
Contractor Safety
Mechanical Integrity
Hot Work
Management of Change
Incident Investigation
Compliance Audits
Trade Secrets
Employee Participation
Pre-startup Safety Review
Emergency Planning and Response

Compliance with the Process Safety Management (PSM) standard not only helps protect the health and safety of employees by preventing the unwanted releases of highly hazardous chemicals into areas that could expose workers and others to serious hazards, but it also benefits businesses by minimizing damage to facility equipment and buildings in the event of a major chemical release.

A complete and accurate collection of process safety information (PSI) is crucial to the PSM program and needed in order to effectively implement all other aspects of the PSM standard. Detailed and correct PSI is not only essential for compliance, but it also helps businesses identify and recognize the hazards involved in their processes.
