Why Process Safety is Needed
Process incidents typically “ALWAYS” result from errors or conditions that can ultimately be traced to breakdowns in management systems.
4
Serious Process Incidents typically involve multiple element failures
Hazard/ Risk LOSS Barriers or Controls Risk Assessment Permit to Work Audit Emergency Response System, etc.
5
What is Process Safety Management?
PSM definition: Process Safety Management is the application of management systems and controls (standards, procedures, programs, audits, evaluations) to a manufacturing process in a way that process hazards are identified, understood and controlled PSM focuses on three key areas: Technology Facilities Personnel

Review of Each Element
12
Process Safety Information (PSI)
13
Process Safety Information
What: Process Safety Information compiles written information that enables employees to identify and understand potential hazards. PSI includes: Documentation of the hazards of chemicals; raw materials, intermediates, waste products, finished products The technology used in the design; process chemistry, process steps and limits Documentation of the equipment; equipment design, codes and standards used in fabrication Importance: Foundational for PSM Up to date P&ID’s Necessary to perform Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) Needed for operating procedures Input for emergency planning Must be accessible to all employees 13
14
Process Hazards Analysis (PHA)
15
Process Hazard Analysis
What: Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) is a thorough, orderly, and systematic approach to identify, evaluate, and control potential hazard scenarios. Proactive approach Importance: Identifies potential hazardous events Provides framework for understanding the hazardous events and responses to them Identifies actions to eliminate and/or reduce risks Identifies consequences and impact on other PSM elements
16
Process Hazards Analysis
Process hazards analysis (PHA) includes the following: Identifying hazards Analyzing consequences Evaluating hazards a. Hazards evaluation b. Facility siting c. Human factors d. Inherently safer process Developing and managing recommendations Establishing documentation
17
When is PHA Needed? New process and facilities (several reviews during different stages of development) Screening in early development stage Design review at design completion Final project safety report—before startup Baseline PHA—after any startup changes Existing facilities Cyclic analyses—frequency depends on hazards Revalidation of previous review at least every five years Technology and facilities changes Incident Investigation and MOC review key inputs Mothballing and/or dismantling of process facilities
18
Operating Procedures and Safe Work Practices (OPSWP)
19
Operating Procedures and Safe Work Practices
Operating procedures provide a clear understanding of parameters for safe operation for those who are operating the process. Operating procedures must be written, accessible to the people that use them, and updated whenever there are changes. They must be reviewed at a 3 year frequency. In addition to normal operation, written procedures should include emergency operation, emergency shut down and temporary operations and include assignment of emergency activities to qualified personnel. Safe Work practices provide a carefully planned system of procedures and/or permits involving checks and authorizations prior to doing non-routine work in process areas. Apply to both site and contract personnel 19
20
Safe Work Practices Developed to ensure the safe conduct of terminal operations. Examples: Mechanical Isolation Work Permitting Ground Disturbance / Excavation Line Break procedures. Fall Protection Confined Space Entry. Working on or Near Energized Electrical Equipment. Personal Protective Equipment
21
Management of Change ( MOC)
The objective of MOC is to ensure that all changes to the equipment, procedures and personnel are properly reviewed, approved and that any hazards introduced by the implementation of the change are identified and controlled prior to resuming operation. Three types of management of change Management of Engineered Change Management of Non-Engineered Change Management of Personnel Change
22
Management of Engineered Change ( MOC E )
The objective of MOC E is to ensure that all changes to the equipment and procedures are properly reviewed and that any hazards introduced by the implementation of the change are identified and controlled prior to resuming operation. A management of engineered change is any change that is a specified addition, alteration, or removal of equipment, facilities, infrastructure, or software. Alternatively, any change to standards or specifications that may result in new components, materials, processes or procedures being introduced. This includes any alterations to the process safety information for a hazardous process. 22
23
Management of Engineered Change Requirements
Document Authorized Changes Purpose Description of change Technical basis Safety, health, and environmental impact Determination if PHA is required Amended PSI is required Changes in operating procedures Training and communication needs Approval and authorization
24
Management of Non-Engineered Change (MOC NE)
25
Management of Non-Engineered Change
Management of a non-engineered is a change of process control systems or operations, graphic configurations, equipment titles, descriptions, equipment, and similar related items where engineered specifications or process safety information are not affected. Includes subtle changes that are not replacement-in-kind, to assets or software potentially impacting hazardous processes. Business areas shall establish and implement written procedures to manage non-engineered changes to assets. 25
26
Management of Non-Engineered Change
The bottom line in using a management of change system is that all modifications: Receive prudent review, including process safety considerations. Are appropriately documented, and Are authorized by appropriate levels of management. 26
27
Management of Personnel Change (MOC-P)
27
28
Management of Personnel Change
Site and higher levels of management are responsible for developing and implementing criteria and guidelines regarding management of personnel change so that a minimum level of skills is maintained. MOC Concepts are applied in the event of: Promotions/transfers Resignations/retirements Illnesses/deaths Organizational structure changes 28
29
Quality Assurance - QA
30
Quality Assurance Principle:
Quality assurance efforts focus on ensuring that process equipment is: Fabricated in accordance with design specifications. Assembled and installed properly. Features: Design bases and criteria documented and communicated to vendor and operating/maintenance personnel. Written quality control procedures addressing fabrication. Appropriate checks and inspections to ensure critical equipment is fabricated and installed consistent with design specifications.
31
Pre-Startup Safety Reviews
32
Pre-Startup Safety Reviews
The objective of the pre-startup safety review (PSSR) is to ensure the following prior to startup of new and modified equipment: The equipment and the installation is in accordance with design specification. Safety, operating, maintenance, and emergency procedures are in place and adequate. Modified facilities meet the requirements of all appropriate PSM elements. The training of each employee involved in operating the process has been completed. 32
33
Pre-Startup Safety Review
The Prestart-Up Safety Review (PSSR) provides a final check of new and modified equipment to confirm that all appropriate elements of process safety have been addressed satisfactorily and the facility is safe to operate. The PSSRs shall be conducted by multidisciplinary teams consisting of manufacturing (including operator), technical, design, maintenance, and appropriate safety representatives on an as-needed basis. 33
34
Mechanical Integrity ( MI )
35
Mechanical Integrity The mechanical integrity element of PSM is to ensure that the integrity of the process is maintained using preventive/ predictive maintenance procedures to prevent unexpected equipment and instrument failures. 35
36
Mechanical Integrity The MI program must include written procedures and mechanical employee training for maintaining the on going integrity of the process equipment, including instruments. The program should also include equipment inspection and testing procedures, frequency and documentation. The program also includes quality control of procurement, storage, and use of spare parts 36
37
Training and Performance ( T&P )
37
38
Training and Performance
The objective of the training element of PSM is to ensure that employees responsible for operating and maintaining the process are adequately trained in safe operating, maintenance, and shutdown practices. Business areas shall implement procedures that are designed to assure that personnel handling hazardous materials are fit for duty. The training program shall include provisions for initial and refresher training, and shall document the identity of the employee, date of training, and the means used to verify competency. 38
39
Contractor Safety 39
40
Contractor Safety The objective of the contractor element of PSM is to ensure that contractors and their employees are aware of the potential hazards involved in the process and how their actions may impact Process Safety. Assure that compliance with all safety requirements is an integral part any contract. Contractor’s safety performance will be periodically evaluated for use in future Contractor selection opportunities. 40
41
Contractor Safety All tasks must be completed safely and performed in accordance with established procedures and/or safe work practices, consistent with the principles of good PSM, whether the tasks are completed by site personnel or by contract personnel. Efforts must be made to ensure that contractor employees are properly trained and informed as to hazards and proper methods of operation. 41
42
Incident Learning & Prevention ( ILP )
The intent of the Incident Management process is to learn from incidents and educate to prevent recurrence of incidents, which can put the company and its employees at risk. This is accomplished by promptly investigating all incidents, both with and without loss, correcting identified failures in management systems and processes, and communicating learning’s. This standard supports Suncor’s policy of “All Incidents can be Prevented”.
43
Defining Incident Learning and Prevention
Continuous improvement is supported through; Reporting incidents Investigating incidents to identify root causes. Implementing corrective actions to prevent reoccurrence Communication of lessons learned Detecting trends Incidents include: An occurrence that caused or could have caused one or more of the following: Employee injury or illness. Significant environmental or health impact. Unfavorable impact on the public. Significant property damage. Business interruption.
44
Implementing Incident Learning and Prevention
An Effective Incident Learning System Consists of Five Themes: 1. Initial Response and Management of an Incident 2. Incident Reporting 3. Assessment of Risk and Consequence 4. Incident Investigation and Causal Analysis 5. Action Management and Follow-up
45
Emergency Planning and Response
46
Emergency Planning and Response
In-depth planning for potential emergencies is required so that timely and effective response by the site along with the community can mitigate the impact on people, the environment, and facilities. Appropriate response procedures must be established for the entire spectrum of emergencies. Responsible positions and personnel for EPR must be defined. Training and periodic drills are a vital part of EPR – including local emergency response agencies.
47
Operations Integrity Auditing
The audit element of PSM establishes a procedure to evaluate the effectiveness of the PSM program by identifying deficiencies and recommending corrective action. The audits also illuminate pockets of excellence. WHAT GETS MEASURED GETS DONE !
