It may be a sutle suggestion to most, but it is a SCREAMING recommendation to those who struggle daily to get their process safety efforts embedded within their management group. Too often process safety is delegated to a “one-person” team. If there is a full-time environmental or safety professional on site, then RMP/PSM is almost always dealt to them and unfortunately TOO MANY managers still feel that PSM/RMP is the job of the safety professional or safety department. This month, EPA Region X’s RMP Newsletter provides an example of what a “management system” required by the RMP rule could look like. Take notice as to what EPA’s example is telling us!
