Process Safety Management (PSM) is a systematic framework for managing hazards associated with highly hazardous chemicals (HHCs). Mandated by OSHA (29 CFR 1910.119) and 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 OSHA’s 14 elements and UK standards
