The proposed OSHA regulations for process safety management of highly hazardous chemicals (29 CFR 1910.119) have set the stage for a federally mandated process safety management (PSM) program to be implemented. As with any such mandate, there will always be some concern as to whether the program is manageable, workable for the parties who are charged with implementation, comprehensive, and cost effective. While the manageability and cost effectiveness of any such program will depend upon circumstantial factors, industry has begun to agree upon elements that would make up a comprehensive PSM program. This paper discusses how an industry based program is being implemented.
