Organizational Process Safety: Taking Process Safety to the Next Level

Abstract

Process safety management relies on multiple models for the safe manufacture, storage, use and transportation of highly hazardous chemicals. For the most part these models are little more than a checklist of activities that, at best, create a fractured strategy for preventing catastrophic incidents. To manage process safety at a world-class level, organizations need to develop their culture and capabilities around process safety. These two elements help integrate the overall system and move process safety to the next level.
