What is Process Safety?

Beyond personal safety (like wearing a hard hat), process safety focuses on preventing major incidents like chemical leaks, fires, or explosions in industries handling hazardous materials. It's about ensuring the entire system – from equipment and technology to procedures and people – keeps dangerous substances contained and controlled.

This holistic approach is formalized through Process Safety Management (PSM). PSM is a systematic framework designed to identify, understand, and control process hazards proactively. It ensures that every aspect, from design to daily operations, prioritizes prevention.

In essence, PSM is your comprehensive shield, safeguarding operations, people, and the environment by anticipating and mitigating the big risks.
