Structure of Process safety management and its elements

The process safety management (PSM) of highly hazardous chemicals contains requirements for preventing or minimizing the consequences of catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive chemicals. These releases may result in toxic, fire, or explosive hazards. PSM applies to all workplaces with processes involving chemicals at or above specified threshold quantities. It also applies to keeping, having, storing, manufacturing, selling, transporting, and using explosives, blasting agents, and pyrotechnics. These rules do not apply to the sale and use (public display) of pyrotechnics, commonly known as fireworks, or to the use of explosives in the form prescribed in the official United States pharmacopoeia.The process safety management elements: employee Participation, process Safety Information, Process Hazard Analysis ,Operating Procedures, Training, Contractor Safety, Pre-Startup Safety Review, Mechanical Integrity , Non routine Work Authorizations (Hot Work Permits), Management of Chang, Incident Investigations, Emergency Planning and Response, Compliance Audits, Trade Secrets
