Process Safety Presentation

The document discusses the key elements of Process Safety Management (PSM) as defined in OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.119. It outlines the 14 mandatory elements of a PSM program, including process hazard analysis, operating procedures, training, mechanical integrity, management of change, and emergency response. The presentation provides an overview of each element and its objectives to help facilities establish and maintain an effective PSM system for preventing catastrophic chemical releases.

PSM Element #3
Process Hazard Analysis - 1910.119(c)

Identify & Evaluate Hazards

Lessons Learned from Previous Incidents

Engineering & Administrative Safeguards

Facility Siting Information

Human Factors Interfaces

Qualitative Effects of Safeguard Failures

Update / Revalidate Every 5 Years (Minimum)

What Is Hazard Analysis?


Hazard Identification + Hazard Evaluation
HI + HE = Hazard Assessment (HA)
Systematic Approach to Analyzing Hazards
Identifies Controls/Safeguards
Many Techniques to Choose From

PrHA - Where Do I Start?


#1: Define Analysis Scope & Boundaries
Focus Resources
Resources Wasted Evaluating Out-of-Scope
Processes
Neglect/Miss Important Parts of Process
Identify Consequences of Interest
Receptors
Consequence Severity
Other Impacts ~ Environment, Business,
Facility Damage
Document Scope

PrHA - Where Do I Start?


#2: Choose a PrHA Technique

Non-Scenario-Based
Preliminary Hazards
Analysis (PreHA)
Safety Review
Relative Ranking
Checklist Analysis

Scenario-Based
What-If Analysis
What-If/Checklist
Analysis
Hazard & Operability
(HazOp) Studies
Failure Modes & Effects
Analysis (FMEA)
Fault Tree Analysis
Event Tree Analysis
Other Techniques

Limitations of PrHA
Output Dependent on Input & Expertise

Never 100% Certainty for Identification of All Hazards,


Events, Causes, and Effects
Results & Benefits Cannot Be Directly Verified
Based on Existing Knowledge or Process/Operation
Quality Reflected in Drawing Accuracy, Procedure Accuracy, &
Process Knowledge

Dependent on Subjective Judgment, Assumptions, &


Experience of Analysts
Cannot Guarantee Incidents Will Not Occur
Limitation Provides Justification
Periodic HE Throughout Lifecycle
Justification for Management of Change (MOC)

Lessons Learned
Be Deliberate When Choosing A Technique
Stakeholder Buy In
Scope, Schedule, & Budget

Never Enough Time to Complete


Preparation, Analysis, & Documentation

Use a Dedicated Workshop Facilitator


Respect Team Leader Responsibilities
Required to Take On Process
Review, Documentation, Factual Accuracy, Comment
Resolution, & Concurrence
Responsibilities in Addition to Workshop/Meetings

Train Team on Technique
