Process Safety Management A real-world introduction to PSM’s 14 Elements My Facility is PSM-Covered Now What?
7
Process Safety Management Simple* Elements Employee Participation Training Hot Work Incident Investigation Emergency Response Compliance Audits Trade Secrets *Relative to other elements
8
Process Safety Management Challenging Elements Process Safety Information Process Hazard Analyses Operating Procedures Contractor Management Pre-Startup Safety Reviews Mechanical Integrity Management of Change
9
Process Safety Management Process Safety Information Information pertaining to the hazards of the highly hazardous chemicals in the process Toxicity information Permissible exposure limits Reactivity data Corrosivity data Information pertaining to the technology of the process
10
Process Safety Information Real World Advice Most information exists in SDSs, literature, & plant and process documentation Gather all PSI in one place – either electronic or paper Be sure that PSI is updated as changes are made Create an Action Item for annual review of the PSI
11
Process Safety Management Process Hazard Analysis PHA shall be appropriate to the complexity of the process and shall identify, evaluate, and control the hazards involved in the process What if / What if Checklist Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) Failure Mode Effective Analysis (FMEA) Fault Tree Analysis Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) Updated/Revalidated at least every five years
12
Process Hazard Analysis Real World Advice Choose the right method, not every process needs a HAZOP. Chose the right team – experience is the key. PHA doesn’t end with a report - develop a system to review and manage PHA recommendations
13
Process Safety Management Operating Procedures Develop and implement written operating procedures that provide clear instructions for safety conducting activities involved in each covered process Steps for each operating phase Operating Limit Health & Safety consideration Safety Systems Develop procedures for LOTO, First Breaks, Confined Space, Facility Control
14
Operating Procedures Real World Advice Electronic document system often easiest to maintain. Do not try to put all the required information into one procedure – combine common information into one procedure Be simple and direct – readability and understandability are vital
15
Process Safety Management Contractors Applies to contractors performing maintenance or repair, turnaround, major renovation, or specialty work on or adjacent to a covered process Obtain and evaluate information regarding the contract employer's safety performance and programs Inform contract employers of the known potential fire, explosion, or toxic release hazards Control the entrance, presence and exit of contract employers and contract employees in covered process areas Contract employer has specific responsibilities
16
Contractor Management Real World Advice Develop an approval process for contractors Allot adequate resources to maintaining contractor approval and training documentation Ensure that contractor employees have the required training to complete
17
Process Safety Management Pre-Startup Safety Review Perform a PSSR for new facilities and for modified facilities when the modification is significant enough to require a change in PSI Construction and equipment is in accordance with design and specifications Safety, operating, maintenance and emergency procedures are in place and adequate PHA and MOC completed, if needed Training employees involved in operating a process completed
18
Pre-Startup Safety Reviews Real World Advice Involve the right people – experience counts Don’t rely on memory - use checklists Develop a system for managing post-startup actions from PSSR Use the PSSR as opportunity to prove that process is safe to start – Document everything!
19
Process Safety Management Mechanical Integrity Applies to: Pressure Vessels and Storage Tanks Piping Systems (including piping components such as valves) Relief and vent systems and devices Emergency shut down systems Controls (including monitoring devices, sensors, alarms and interlocks) Pumps
20
Process Safety Management Mechanical Integrity Establish and implement written procedures to maintain the on-going integrity of process equipment Train each employee involved in maintaining the on-going integrity of process equipment Perform inspections and tests on process equipment following Recognized and Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices (RAGAGEP) Document inspections and correct deficiencies Establish Quality Assurance procedures
21
Mechanical Integrity Real World Advice RAGAGEP = 7 words = infinity of complexity Use operations and maintenance manuals whenever possible (have them readily accessible) Develop ITPM plan using CCPS MI book Use a Computerized Maintaining System to schedule ITPM tasks and track deficiencies to closure Become familiar with API, NFPA, ASME, and other RAGAGEP
22
Process Safety Management Management of Change Establish and implement written procedures to manage changes to process chemicals, technology, equipment, and procedures; and, changes to facilities that affect a covered process Include : Technical basis for the change Impact of change on safety & health Modifications to operating procedures Necessary time period for the change Authorizations req. for the change
23
Management of Change Real World Advice There are very few ‘Replacement in Kind’ Be sure complete all pre- and post- change actions Include personnel changes Paper is ok, but electronic is far superior
24
My Facility is PSM-Covered – Now What?!? Review OSHA 1910.119 Complete a Gap-Analysis for compliance of existing programs Develop programs to address gaps
25
Success Factors Use as many existing processes as possible Hot Work, PSI, Operating Procedures Use a cross-functional team Include operators and mechanics Continual training and auditing Don’t assume the processes are working
26
Q&A At the end of the day, safety is all about care, saving lives, families, and the society we operate in.
