Managing Complex Industrial Hazards
Process Safety Management (PSM) is a disciplined framework for managing the integrity of operating systems and processes handling hazardous substances. Our audits focus on preventing catastrophic incidents—such as explosions, fires, and toxic releases—by ensuring robust design, operation, and maintenance practices.
We conduct HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study), LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis), and comprehensive PSM audits to identify vulnerabilities before they lead to disasters.
Core PSM Elements
Process Hazard Analysis (PHA)
Facilitating HAZOP, LOPA, and What-If studies to identify potential failure modes.
MethodologiesMechanical Integrity
Ensuring equipment—piping, vessels, relief valves—is designed and maintained fit for purpose.
StandardsManagement of Change (MOC)
Rigorous system to evaluate safety impact of changes in process, technology, or personnel.
ProceduresProcess Safety Information (PSI)
Verifying accuracy and availability of chemical hazard data, P&IDs, and process technology.
DocumentationPSM Implementation Elements
The OSHA PSM standard consists of 14 key elements for managing process hazards.
| Element | Focus Area | Key Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| Process Safety Information | Chemical properties, P&IDs, equipment specifications | PSI Documentation |
| Process Hazard Analysis | HAZOP, LOPA, What-If studies | PHA Reports & Action Items |
| Mechanical Integrity | Inspection, testing, preventive maintenance | MI Program & Records |
| Management of Change | Change authorization, risk assessment, communication | MOC Procedures & Log |
