OSHA’s inspection found several deficiencies in the plant’s process safety management program to identify, address and eliminate hazards associated with processes using, storing, manufacturing, handling or moving of large amounts of highly hazardous chemicals onsite. In this case, the hazardous chemical is the flammable liquid, vinyl acetate, which is used in large amounts at the company’s...

In this effort, OSHA has suggested that the standard is revised to clarify certain aspects and to include some items they feel are needed. In the public posting, OSHA stated they are considering adopting management-system elements from safety standards that other federal agencies...
