Process safety management is the prevention of the release of substances
that are defined as highly hazardous chemical during the operation of any process.
Process safety management is a
proactive method of assessing the risk and delivering suitable prevention
methods to avoid risks related to release of hazardous chemicals during any process.
Process
Hazard Types
The common types of hazards involved during a process due
to release of highly hazardous chemicals can be,
- Toxicity
- Flammability
- Energy
- Reactivity
Toxicity is the degree to which a substance can damage an
organism. The toxic level is high in highly hazardous chemicals and it possesses
high risk.
Flammability is the ability of a substance to burn to
ignite, causing fire or combustion. The probability of fire ignition is high
during the release of highly hazardous chemicals.
Energies in the form of electrical, mechanical,
pneumatic, chemical, nuclear, thermal can harm people if initiated by highly
hazardous chemicals during a process.
Reaction Hazards occur due to unwanted chemical
reactions, these reactions may arise in case of process upsets, chemical
interactions or material ingress.
Process
Safety Management Method
During the process of Process Safety Management Audit by TheSafetyMaster™, we ensure the process safety at production
units through PSM System. The aim is to minimize occupational risks and hazards
for production floor workers by means of,
Ø Identifying and correcting deficiencies in any Process
Safety Management System
Ø Effective Emergency Response Creation and
Implementation
Ø Mechanical Integrity Evaluation and Quality Assurance
at a Contractor Level
Ø Final Analysis of Process Equipment prior to first
time use
Ø
Hazard Analysis and subsequent
Corrective Measures
Process
Safety Management Elements
The Process Safety Management is divided into 14
elements,
·
Process Safety Information
·
Process Hazard Analysis
·
Operating Procedures
·
Training
·
Contractors
·
Mechanical Integrity
·
Hot Work
·
Management of Change
·
Incident Investigation
·
Compliance Audits
·
Trade Secrets
·
Employee Participation
·
Pre-startup Safety Review
·
Emergency Planning and Response
These 14 elements are to be considered
during implementation of the PSM system. Also, these elements are interconnected to
one another and give a complete PSM system linked with elements one another.
