IMPORTANT NOTE:
This is NOT an official listing and is NOT meant to include 100% of all REQUIRED postings, labels, and signs.

The user MUST refer to the entire OSHA standard that is applicable to their...

The vessel you are viewing is part of a PSM Covered process. I have blacked out pipe and vessel labeling, as it does not matter what the HHC/EHS is or the type of process. Pay close attention to the sight glass column in the center of the picture. The process vessel shown has a safe upper level of 80%. Exceed the safe upper level and liquid is sent to a compressor, which will...

A Process Hazards Analysis (PHA) may very well be the best tool that has come along to the safety profession since the fire extinguisher! I am kidding of course, well sort of, as the PHA methodologies (and there are many) can be used in so many situations that it is used outside of PSM/RMP as often as it is within the standard requirements of the government regulations. PHA’s were...

Did you know that OSHA still does NOT require an actual Hotwork Permit, UNLESS you are doing the Hotwork in, on, or adjacent to a PSM covered process? It’s true, 1910.252(a)(2)(iv) uses the phrase “preferably in the form of a written permit“. It was not until OSHA put the Process Safety Management Standard (PSM) in place in 1992 that an actual “written permit”...

A contractor drilled into what was thought to have been an “abandoned line” releasing the ammonia. The leak was on 12/3/11 and the inspection began on 12/12/11. Some very enlightening citations for refrigeration process safety managers...
