    Process Safety Management 3

    Process Safety Management (PSM) Consultants

    Process Safety Management (PSM) is a systematic framework for managing hazards associated with highly hazardous chemicals (HHCs). Aligned with UK regulations (COMAH, DSEAR), PSM aims to prevent fires, explosions, and toxic releases by ensuring processes are safely designed, operated, and maintained.
    PSM applies to processes involving:

    • Highly hazardous chemicals above threshold quantities
    • Category 1 flammable gases or liquids with flashpoints below 100°F
    • Complex operations where uncontrolled changes can lead to catastrophic outcomes

    Arthian delivers end-to-end PSM solutions, combining engineering expertise, regulatory knowledge, and digital tools to create systems that work in practice, not just on paper.

    Key Principles:

    • Compliance with UK standards
    • Integration with existing safety and quality systems
    • Lifecycle support from gap analysis to audits and continuous improvement

    Why Process Safety Management Matters

    Process Safety Management isn’t just about compliance—it’s about protecting lives, assets, and reputation. High-hazard processes involving chemicals or flammable materials can lead to catastrophic consequences if not properly managed.
    Why PSM is critical:

     

    • Human Safety: Prevent injuries and fatalities by controlling hazards before they escalate.
    • Environmental Protection: Avoid toxic releases, fires, and explosions that can harm ecosystems and communities.
    • Regulatory Compliance: Meet stringent requirements under COMAH, and DSEAR to avoid fines and shutdowns.
    • Financial Stability: Reduce costly downtime, litigation, and reputational damage from major incidents.
    • Operational Excellence: Embed safety into everyday operations, improving reliability and efficiency.
