OSHA’s PSM and EPA’s RMP standards require the employer to develop the Process Safety Information (PSI) regarding each covered process’s “safety systems”.
1910.119(d)(3)(i) Information pertaining to the equipment in the process shall include:
…
1910.119(d)(3)(i)(H) Safety systems (e.g. interlocks, detection or suppression systems).
§68.65 Process safety information.
…
(d) Information pertaining to the equipment in the process.
(1) Information pertaining to the equipment in the process shall include:
…
(viii) Safety systems (e.g. interlocks, detection or suppression systems).
This requirement resides in the PSI requirements for these process safety standards as this is meant to be a building block from which we will perform our PHA, write our Operating Procedures, and establish our MI inspection/testing and write maintenance procedures for these safety systems.
