Canada’s consensus standard for Process Safety Management far surpasses OSHA and EPA’s versions. My favorite upgrade is how senior management has a few of its own sections in the standard. For example:
- Leadership commitment at all levels of an organization is key to achieving excellence in PSM and establishing a process safety culture.
- Management must be visible and must demonstrate this commitment in the activities undertaken.
- Their commitment must be unequivocal and leave no doubt as to their expectations.
