Recently I was asked if a PSM/RMP program can be managed 100% electronically on a company intranet site or company internal server. The short and simple answer is NO it may not. In further discussion, it was asked if this would be permissible if the company kept a back up CD/Disk that operators could use if the intranet/server system crashed.

This air tank compressor failed due to improper maintenance. Its tank water was not drained on a regular basis and the bottom corroded. Since this compressor was in someone’s home garage, it was not required to be inspected under current Minnesota laws. No one was injured when the tank failed.
