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.

The “Swiss-Cheese” Model, developed by Professor James Reason, illustrates that accidents involve successive breaches of multiple system defenses. These breaches can be triggered by a number of enabling factors such as equipment failures or operational errors.

A review of our 2013/2014 audits showed that pipe labeling is a problem across all industries and all types of hazardous materials. Out of 39 audits, 19 had issues with pipe labeling, with the vast majority of those issues being “labeling not meeting a RAGAGEP or company standard.” During audits, it all boils down to having a code/standard/directive/procedure that we can show the facility is...

Additionally, OSHA found two repeat violations...
