Process safety management

Process safety management (PSM) is a practice to manage business operations critical to process safety. It can be implemented using the established OSHA scheme[1] or others made available by the EPA,[2] AIChE's Center for Chemical Process Safety,[3] or the Energy Institute.[4]

PSM schemes are organized in 'elements'. Different schemes are based on different lists of elements. This is a typical list of elements that may be reconciled with most established PSM schemes:
