Process Safety Management (PSM)

Meeting legal and ethical safety obligations, and demonstrating a safe environment that meets or exceeds local, national, and international safety standards significantly reduces an organization's risk of safety incidents, workers compensation claims and payouts, litigation, and penalties.

OSHA's Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals regulations (Title 29 of CFR Section 1910.119) contain requirements for the management of hazards associated with processes that use highly hazardous chemicals. Numerous industrial facilities must comply with OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM) regulations as well as EPA Risk Management Program (RMP) regulations (Title 40 CFR Part 68).
