A Process Hazards Analysis is NOT an “engineering review”
There is a method to OSHA’s madness in PSM (as well as EPA’s with regards to RMP) when it comes to conducting a Process Hazard Analysis (PHA).  Unfortunately too many facilities have been duped into believing that the effort they put forward into what they called a PHA was quite frankly a waste of time.  Maybe not a total waste of time, but way too many of these PHA’s fall...

Cargo Tank Motor Vehicle (CTMV) Loading/UnLoading operations: Recommended Best Practices Guide
Those of you that have followed me and my ramblings for years know that I am a stickler for unloading/loading operations involving HAZMAT(s).  Some of the worst accidents in my career in the chemical industry involved the unloading/loading of HAZMATs.  I have written many times about the hazards of unloading even mildly hazardous materials into the wrong tank resulting in serious consequences...
