  • What is Process Safety?

    Process Safety Management (PSM) is the application of management principles and systems to the identification, understanding and control of process hazards to prevent process-related injuries and accidents. It was developed by the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) in the United States but has since been adopted in Canada and other countries.

    CCPS DEFINITION: Process safety is a disciplined framed work for managing the

    integrity of hazardous operating systems and processes by applying good design

    principles, engineering and operating practices.

    Such incidents can cause toxic effects, fire or explosion and could immediately

    result in serious injuries, property damage, lost production and environmental

    impact.

  • PSM

    PSM is not a management program that is handed down by management to

    their employees and contract workers; it is a program involving everyone.

    The key word is participation which is much more than just communication.

    All managers, employees and contract workers are responsible for the

    successful implementation of PSM. Management must organize and lead the

    initial effort, but the employees must be fully involved in its implementation

    and improvement because they are the people who know the most about

    how a process really operates, and they are the ones who have to implement

    recommendations and changes.

    Specialist groups, such as staff organizations and consultants can provide

    help in specific areas, but PSM is fundamentally a line responsibility.

  • The Deepwater Horizon drilling rig before the explosion.

    The rig belongs to Transocean, the worlds biggest offshore drilling contractor. The rig was originally contracted through the year 2013 to BP and was working on BPs Macondo exploration well when the fire broke out. The rig costs about $500,000 per day to contract.

    The full drilling spread, with helicopters and support vessels and other services, will cost closer to $1,000,000 per day to operate in the course of drilling for oil and gas.

    The rig cost about $350,000,000 to build in 2001 and would cost at least double that to replace today.

  • Summary

    Process safety management program is required by operators of chemical plants and processes that are highly hazardous.

    PSM involves participation of all stake holders and wider consultation is required for effective implementation.

    Employers plays a major role in managing PSM to prevent process related incidents.

    Employees positive response to stipulated PSM regulations is essential in preventing PSM related incidents.

    Implementation of lessons learnt from previous incidents plays an important role in preventing accidents

    Process safety incidents often result to major accidents Effective management of PSM programs will significantly prevent or reduce

    process related incidents. Choosing and Setting the right Process Safety Performance Indicators is vital

    in measuring progress/performance of PSM programs PSM compliance auditing is essential in checking the degree of PSM

    compliance ,Identification of gaps and creates windows for closing the loop and also ,to ensure continuous improvement.

    What Will We Talk About?

  • As SH&E professionals, we hear a lot about "the system" those core

    components that make up how we manage safety within our

    organization. The increasing importance of health and safety at the

    workplace is prompting organisations to devise means of accident

    prevention at work. There is a notion that every workplace accident is

    preventable. For this to be realised, the organisations occupational health

    and safety management systems need to be proactive. An Occupational

    Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) enables the organization

    to identify hazards, assess risks and place the necessary risk control

    measures in place to prevent accidents. This presentation suggests

    integrated Safety management systems (ISMS) as one of the solution to

    accident prevention in workplaces

    Abstract

  • Safety is absence of danger.

    Safety is an attitude, a frame of mind. It is the awareness of ones environment and actions, all day, everyday.

    Safety is knowing what is going on; knowing what can injure anyone or anything; knowing how to prevent that injury and then acting to prevent it. All it requires is intelligence and a reasonable amount of native ability to see, to hear, to smell and to think.

  • What is an Occupational Health and

    Safety Management System (OHSMS)?

    It aims at providing a method to assess and improve performance in the

    prevention of workplace incidents and accidents via the effective management of

    hazards and risks in the workplace.

    An Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) is a set of

    plans, actions and procedures that assist an organisation to systematically

    manage health and safety risk associated with their business.

  • 1. the implementation of preventive and protective measures

    is carried out in an efficient and coherent manner;

    2. pertinent policies are established;

    3. commitments are made;

    4. all the workplace elements to assess hazards and risks are

    considered, and

    5. management and workers are involved in the process at

    their level of responsibility.

    What is an Occupational Health and

    Safety Management System (OHSMS)?

    The OSHMS approach ensures that:

  • Why a OHSMS?

  • 1. A system that will meet your specific hazards & risks:

    - Can prioritize planning, organizing, controlling,

    monitoring & reviewing components of the program

    - Can allocate resources as reasonable & practicable

    2. Legal compliance issues

    3. Best industry practices

    4. Equal focus of safety with other objectives production,

    quality, ...

    5. A management system provides initiatives that are

    sustainable.

    Advantages of a Systems Approach

  • An unexpected, unplanned event in sequence of events, that occurs through a combination of

    causes. It results in injury or disease

    to an individual, damage

    to property or equipment,

    a near-miss, a loss or any

    combination of these effects.

  • Workers, unions and employees dont

    always agree on why accident happen.

    Workers may say that the workplace is :

    HAZARDOUS * UNSAFE * DANGEROUS *

    BADLY ORGANISED

    THE WORKPLACE IS TO BLAME.

  • Employers sometimes say that the

    worker is :

    CARELESS * RECKLESS * SILLY *

    ACCIDENT PRONE

    *STUBBORN * INCONSIDERATE *

    IGNORANT

    THE WORKER IS TO BLAME.

  • Some accidents may be due to human errors.

    But the work environment must recognise that the workers

    are human and sometimes make mistakes this must be

    acknowledged during workplace design.

    Employers can improve the workplace so that stress, fatigue and

    poor working conditions do not cause mistakes.

    Carry out hazard identification and risk assessment in critical areas

    Assess and restore workplace compliance with safety standards carrying out 5S

    Introduce the safety tagging system

    Carry out safety-oriented cleaning activities in conjunction with AM PILLAR

  • 4. REDUCE ACCIDENTS THROUGH RESTORATION OF DISCIPLINE

    Assess the know how of safety with the aid of T & E PILLAR

    Carry out focused training to fill the gaps

    Understand behavioural standards Understand and analyse behavioural anomalies

    Eliminate anomalies through training and fool-proof devices

    Introduce checklists to audit safety standard application

  • 5. IMPLEMENT THE SAFETY SYSTEM

    Introduce safety audit system

    Introduce accident simulation

    Support the plan of horizontal expansion of implementation of countermeasures

    Check the implementation of long - term actions

    Check the effectiveness of implemented actions

  • 6. FURTHER SAFETY IMPROVEMENT

    Carry out residual risk analysis

    Further improve environmental conditions

    Achieve excellent balance between behaviours and safety devices

    Introduce a safety preventive assessment for process and machine modification
