Process safety: controlling major-accident hazards

PSM gap assessment, hazard studies, HAZOP, barrier analysis, management of change and integrity: a structured approach for plants where an event can become major.

Process unit

The challenge

Major accidents grow from silent drift

An unreviewed change, a degraded barrier, an ignored alarm, lost competence: process accidents rarely have a single cause. A robust PSM system makes this drift visible and manageable.

Who is it for?

  • Chemical and pharmaceutical sites
  • Regulated major-hazard sites
  • Unit modification projects
